So.

yeeah, I'm not using showdown to determine battles because showdown (and the way pokemon battles are handled in the games in general) Aren't indicative of an actual battle scenario and means there's really not a whole lot of room for creative strategies and move usage (for example, using an offensive move defensively. Such using iron tail from an Aggron to smash the ground, heaving a portion of the ground up and using it to block a flamethrower attack from a Charizard)

I don't mind if that's how everyone else handles their battles and all, but if that's going to be a set thing then well, once again, I'm out. If not, then just know I'm not using showdown for such things.

...sorry if I'm coming off as demanding or something. As much as I do love pokemon, there's a lot of stuff I [i]don't[/i] like about it and would rather not have in an RP.
