[@Rune_Alchemist] Did I ever say that- oh, I see, I did. Well, the reason behind that is that it'd take so long to roleplay. But, there's without a doubt going to be 6v6 Pokémon Battles. It's just if the trainers themselves decide to do follow other rules that things change. The most significant battles will definitely be 6v6. And, of course, if you ever happen to end up fighting people outside the law... then rules won't apply anymore regardless in those fights. XD

The important thing I have to say is, well, if you use six Pokémon, then you can bet the opponent will, too. The Pokémon League battles in particular DEFINITELY will be 6v6. It's just that, if you want to fight a random utterly nameless unremarkable trainer on the road, is there REALLY a point in making those full 6v6es? 2v2 or maybe even 1v1 will do, really! XD

And if you overgrind and completely crush a Gym Leader, that just means you're qualified for the badge. It isn't as if it should be HARDER for you to get the badge just because you're more experienced. That's no way to qualify for a Pokémon League. But, yeah, if you're strong enough... Maybe the Leaders will want to challenge you with their real and competitive, not-limited-to-a-single-type team rather than their Gym team? Haha.

[quote=@Rune_Alchemist]IT also means a trainer could research the gym leaders pokemon and then just build a team designed to perfectly counter them.[/quote]

Oh, and that... is the point. XD

I don't see why all the gyms have to be type-specific, otherwise. Adapt your team so it defeats the newest threats. This also allows the Gym Leaders to be a little stronger than otherwise, because of definite weaknesses trainers can exploit. Haha. Oh, well. Let's get this on the road and see what happens, ey? I see Keyblade online.
