[quote=@LokiLeo789] Well I mean Ray would be weirded out if he's getting his face licked, but he is a fun loving guy. We shall see how things begin. [b]Lots[/b] of training on his part though. [/quote] xD Well, that's her intentions so yeeah. [@AbysmalDemon] So, uhm, I have a few more questions regarding how exactly moves work and how battles might be conducted here. As this isn't a game, and in a somewhat more realistic setting, I'm unsure exactly how certain moves would work. For example, how exactly would someone use sand attack indoors? Also, teleport in a realistic setting is a seriously more effective. They don't exactly have to jump back to the pokemon center. They could basically use it to completely avoid an attack. Apologies for the questions, but with everyone saying showdown is the best thing on the planet, I feel as though creative strategies such as using teleport to dodge an attack if possible, or using an offensive move defensively (as mentioned earlier) aren't exactly going to be welcome here. Everyone seems to be taking EVs and IVs and pokemon stats in general quite seriously, when really a lot of the pokemon metagame is pretty broken and doesn't allow for 'weaker' pokemon to really stand out all that much and means there's too many gimmicky strategies involving items or certain move sets.
