Description

--- Auto-Generated Description ---
This diagram models a simplified version of turn-based combat as found in PokÃ©mon Blue, which simulates battles between two PokÃ©mon characters with a focus on the mathematical mechanics behind attacks and health depletion. It incorporates various elements, such as sources for initiating actions, pools to represent PokÃ©mon turns and initial health points, registers to calculate and store PokÃ©mon stats including damage inflicted per attack, and drains to represent the receiving of damage, thereby reducing health points. Selectable registers are used to choose PokÃ©mon for each side of the battle, identified as PokÃ©mon A and PokÃ©mon B, with their stats determined by predefined values for health points (HP), attack, defense, and attack power. 

The combat mechanism starts with an interactive action that selects two PokÃ©mon and initiates the battle phase, where each PokÃ©mon takes turns to attack based on automatic triggers and calculated damage formulas. The damage calculation takes into account the attacker's attack power and the defender's defense to convey a realistic PokÃ©mon battle scenario. This is further enhanced with randomness to simulate the variable nature of combat, including damage inflicted and receiving damage. End conditions are set to finalize the battle once a PokÃ©mon's health points drop to zero, effectively simulating a PokÃ©mon fainting. This captures the essence of PokÃ©mon combat mechanics, focusing on the strategic selection of PokÃ©mon based on their stats and the sequential turn-based nature of battles.
