Unsure on whether I'll join, but I've got a few questions regardless.

1. You didn't answer whether battles can be fought pragmatically and realistically, e.g. ambushing an enemy and sniping him before he can fight back. Can we do this sort of thing, or do battles have to be fair and square for some reason?

2. You said that TMs can be found scattered around the world. But can my Pokemon partner's moveset include TM moves it can learn but I don't have the TMs for yet, or does it have to be limited to the moves it can naturally learn? Similarly for egg moves and tutored moves.

3. How important is type coverage going to be? I'd prefer to go for some kind of thematic, specialized team, but not if it's completely nonviable compared to a generalist team with wide coverage.
