Scissor, Paper, Stone…but with Pokemon!

This week at Code Club I taught Python Lesson 2 (Scissors, Paper, Stone) . When I got home I showed my son (who is a massive Pokemon fan) how the lesson can be expanded to make a slightly more complicated version that included names and the option to keep playing with out having to manually re-run the script.
