Feather 18 [Video]

[ Greetings, Route! Today Joshua is broadcasting from a seat in the Viridian City Pokemon Center, as an Absol nurses a good deal of singed fur on the bench next to him. That Jolteon was a nasty final surprise okay. ]

Are all of the challenge teams actually well-rounded, or did Blue just want to be some special exception? I do suppose the joke may be on me for expecting the Earth Badge to be something like ground type.

... What are your pokemon anyway? Just for reference.

[usedfeatherdance]

That's classified, hee hee. You don't have a more general suggestion beyond that?

[necessaryrisks]

You could do what you did right now before a match. I'm assuming, given some of the people here have been around a while, at least one of them is bound to have challenged certain gym leaders at one point.

Ah, but if I ask before each and every match, I might as well just read that guide and be done with it. I'm quite satisfied making due with just an overview of the major surprises.

[necessaryrisks]

Do you ask for stats and the attacks used by the pokemon? You can always plan a counterattack if you know those.

[usedfeatherdance]

Too detailed. [ He giggles. ] That takes the fun out of it. Simple things like "Oh, by the way, his last Pokemon isn't actually ground type at all" would suffice.

[necessaryrisks]

That could mean just about any type of pokemon would be available. It doesn't give you a better idea of who to bring along.

[usedfeatherdance]

No, but it gives me a better idea of when to expect the surprises! Just enough to not be caught off guard while still having the fun of it.
