Police Academy: Training is a Nintendo DS game and the first game in the Police Academy Series which quickly became a flagship franchise for Vined Inc. and spawned three spin-offs with the racing series, Nursing School series and Pewter Police series. The misspelling of Academy in the title was intentional to separate it from the real-life world.

Gameplay[]

You use the directional pad to move. Press A to jump and X to summon your Pokemon, B to get Growlithe's super sniff, and draw a symbol on the touch screen to use moves. Use Y to hot foes with Jenny's Baton.

B with Squirtle gets him to use surf and B with Pidgeot gets him to fly higher. While X with Pidgeot gets him to land.

You have a health bar in the top right-hand corner which is used to keep track of how much health you have, if it depletes you get a game over, you start with 5 health but then you upgrade when you finish a mission.

Story[]

The game takes place through the eyes of Jenny a recruit in the Kanto police academy. You play as Jenny as you train to follow criminals, use your Pokemon partners, and defeat villains.

The game starts off in an apartment in Vermillion City where two young girls Jenny and Joy are meeting each other for the first time they introduce each other, Jenny is a police academy recruit and Joy is a nurse in Training.

The next part is the tutorial and it's at the Police Academy where Jenny meets and becomes fast friends with fellow recruit Marble. They are both given their Growlithe partners. The two hang out and Jenny introduces Marble to Joy. They hang out at a milk bar where they meet a lonely boy Reggie who Jenny immediately becomes infatuated with, they find out that he's a Pokemon Breeder.

The game progresses when the four leave the bar and see some strange activities with the citizens they are attacking each other for no reason and they are acting like zombies. Jenny goes around and snaps them out of this confusion by hitting them with her Baton.

The four friends then follow the clues and find out that the city's citizens are being hypnotized by Psychic Pokemon from across the ocean. Jenny meets a Squirtle who has been causing a lot of trouble but she befriends him and he takes her across to the small island where she finds out that Team Rocket has been the one behind the Psychic pokemon.

Jenny steals a rocket hat for proof and surfs back to shore and finds her friends, they then find a friend Pidgeot who flies them all over. They enter the base and take down Team Rocket who are being led by Jenny and Marble's teacher Sargeant Malone.

Once they have defeated Team Rocket they all return to their regular lives.
