I don't know why EvoCreo did this, but I think it'd make sense for Tuxemon as well, because with only five elements it's already going to be easier to cover all types.		* Five rather than six creatures in the party.

	They use a type pentagram like us!

That leaves just skills of your own element and skills with no element ("Normal") that do the standard amount of damage. However, every monster has lots of Normal skills, so you will be doing unmodified damage most of the time. Monsters only ever learn skills from their own element and Normal skills.

	~~With every type resisting the two in front of it and weak to the two behind it (so Water resists Dark and Fire and is weak to Lightning and Grass).~~

	~~'''~~Maps~~'''~~

	There isn't really a map/overland. There are different areas on a world map, and you can travel to those areas as they unlock. When you travel to an area, you are on a point on the map that's connected to a network of other points that you can click to.		There isn't really a map/overland.

	~~'''~~Techniques~~'''~~		==== Techniques ====

	There's a card system for skills (i.e. moves/techniques). As a monster levels up, they add skills to their deck of skills. Often they'll be skills the monster already has, so they'll have e.g. 2 x Scratch, 2 x Power Up, x1 Fireball, and they'll level up and get 1 x Burn and 1 x Scratch.

	There's a little bit of tactics involved, e.g. do I use Power Up now and risk getting knocked out before I make an attack, or make an attack now knowing it won't do enough damage to knock out the enemy?

	~~'''~~Teams~~'''~~		==== Teams ====

	You can bring three monsters into each battle with you. All the rest can be swapped into your team of three at any other time. Monsters take time to heal based on how much damage they have, so if you've been fighting a few battles you might have to use your weaker monsters - or browse Facebook for 10 minutes until you get a notification that everyone's healed up.

	~~'''~~Conditions~~'''~~		==== Conditions ====

	Buffs and debuffs displace each other. So if you're Sick (i.e. poisoned), you can use Power Up to get the temporary Powered Up buff. Woo! You're no longer Sick. Of course, it works the other way as well: you can make your enemy waste their Power Up by making them Sick before they get a chance to use it.		Buffs and debuffs displace each other.
