That seems, uh... I mean [i]why?[/i] ^^; It seems kind of excessive really, and I'm not entirely sure what kind of tone you're going for or how character progression is going to be handled now.  Since I kind of went with a rookie trainer so they could, well, develop as the RP went on and all. ^^; I was kind of working with the example character you posted in mind, since I assumed that was the kind of level we were [i]supposed[/i] to be starting at, but if the villain team are using endgame stuff from the getgo I don't even know what's going on anymore.

I think we're supposed to figure it out among ourselves. We could team up, or poke at their weaknesses or something, go at it raid boss style. It'll probably be fine, assuming we don't take on more than we can handle. 

The excessive strength level is probably to balance out the fact that we can be more creative like in our approach like the anime, rather than just statically quoting numbers at each other until the other guy falls over. At least, that's my take on it.
