The main courses you will find have you travel along a set path and have you capture the various Pokémon which will jump out in front of you. Various obstacles will crop up in the sides for you to break, such as Boulders, Meteorites and plants or keeping the course illuminated by hitting keys corresponding to switches. There are however, various variations to this standard setup

These courses are the courses you'll play first in the game. To progress, you have to simply type the letter on the ball the Pokémon are standing upon. This acts as though the Pokémon are captured and you will gain the points. The Pokémon encountered within this stage are not classed as captured in your Pokédex

These courses are similar to the standard courses but, rather than have you progress through a course, have you stationary and throw numerous Pokémon at you. These stages are timed and you have to capture the Pokémon during the time limit. These courses tend to give medals for capturing many Pokémon with no mistakes.

These courses are similar to the ball courses in that they only require you to press a specific letter. The letters don't change as the Pokémon come, but are set based upon the stage itself. As a Pokémon comes out of the area corresponding to the letter, you need to press the key for that letter in order to get the points. Pokémon are not catchable in this.

There are a number of courses that will teach you the basics of the game, such as finger positions, the english characters for the Japanese characters and so forth. A few of these have medals for you to earn but are mostly superfluous to the main ethos of the game.
