Download and Installation:

1. Go to http://www.dragonstudios.com/apprentice/download/ (Dragon Studios)and download the newest version of Apprentice.
2. Download the http://www.pokeschool.com/downloads/gymv10.zip(Pokémon Patch)which allows you to play Pokémon with Apprentice!
You will need Winzip to open the patch.
3. Install Apprentice by double clicking on it and pushing the "install" button.
4. Unzip the Pokémon Patch (file name Rocket.zip) and go into Windows Explorer.
5. In Windows Explorer open up the "Apprentice" folder and choose the "Sets" folder. Inside the Rocket folder find the "Sets" folder and open it. Here you will find "cardinfo.dat" click and drag this file into Explorer and into the "sets" folder. It will ask if you want to replace the other "cardinfo.dat" that already exists in there. Say "yes". Click the back button and go into the Apprentice folder in Explorer again. Take the file "addon.dat", "distro.dat", "expan.dat", and "format.dat" and replace the ones in the Apprentice folder. Now you should be ready to play online!!

Getting Started:

There are many terms in Apprentice that are meant for Magic: The Gathering.
1. Library = Deck
2. Graveyard = Discard Pile
3. Hand = Hand
Here are the basics for playing a game, these are also the same basics I use when playing a game online with someone:
1. First go to File and scroll down to "Deck Editor" click on this.
2. It will show two columns, one that has all the cards, and one for your deck.
3. To add a card to your deck click on it and click the add button. (Remember only 60 cards per deck!) You can even type in the name of your deck.
4. After you're down with creating it, click on the red disk icon to save your deck.
5. Now that you have your deck, I'll talk about the other things.

Playing:

1. There are two ways to play "Solitaire" or "Connect via the Internet". Solitaire is to play by yourself and to get a feel for the program. Connect via the Internet is to play against someone on the net. Who knows? You could be playing someone halfway across the world!
2. Go to file and select new game.
3. Your deck will be shown as well as a bunch of options. Where it says starting life change it from 20 to 0. You don't really need this. On "starting hand" set the number to 7.
4. When you start playing you will have 7 cards automatically drawn for you. If you have a basic Pokémon you can put it face down on the table. To do this hold SHIFT and click on the card you want to put down. This will place the card face down on the table. If you don't want to place a card face down just drag it out to the table normally.
5. After each player's turn you must right click on the table and select the option "End your turn". This will end your turn and give the other player control. At the bottom of the screen it shows who's turn it is.
6. Oh yeah! I forgot to mention. You probably noticed the chat box at the bottom. Here you can chat with your opponent and view what is happening in the game. WHAT IS THAT!? Your name is SCRUB??? Well, don't worry you can change this, LOL. At the top go to "Options" and then select "Set Name", here you can type your nickname.

Some Advance Controls:

1. To flip a coin just press CONTROL + F.
2. If you play Prof. Oak for example and you want to discard your hand, go to the top and find actions, and select "hand" then select "move hand to graveyard" and you will discard your hand!
3. If you get damaged, right click on your card an select "add a damage counter", simple huh?
4. When you play trainers, need to discard energy, or your Pokémon is knocked out, simply right click on the card you want to discard, and select "bury" and you will discard it. If you use Item Finder and want a card back from your Discard pile (Graveyard) select the Graveyard icon and drag the card from the Graveyard to your hand.

How to Play on the Internet:

1. Go to "File".
2. Select "New Game.
3. Make sure you have your deck and instead of checking off "Solitaire" check off the circle next to "Connect via the Internet".
4. A pop-up box will appear and it will ask for your opponent's IP number. On the bottom of the box is your IP number, if you want to play against someone just ask them their IP number and type it in. Then click "ok". The person who is getting called by YOU checks off "Waiting for call" and clicks "ok".
