Most of the PokÃ mon video games are based on catching , training , battling , collecting , and trading PokÃ mon , and the player is a PokÃ mon trainer who does all these things . Players of the games are designated as PokÃ mon Trainers , and the two general goals ( in most PokÃ mon games ) for such Trainers are : to complete the PokÃ dex by collecting all of the available PokÃ mon species found in the fictional region where that game takes place ; and to train a team of powerful PokÃ mon from those they have caught to compete against teams owned by other Trainers , and eventually become the strongest Trainer , the PokÃ mon Master . These themes of collecting , training , and battling are present in almost every version of the PokÃ mon franchise , including the video games , the anime and manga series , and the PokÃ mon Trading Card Game .
