i recent post i read made me think of this, ok in the show the gym leader sometimes only uses 2 sometimes 3 pokemon, and the same rules apply to the challanger, now my suggestion is that if the gym leader only uses 2 pokemon then the trainer should only be able to choose 2 also making the strategy harder.

also i think the g ym leader should have a "bank" of maybe 6 to 10 pokemon and when the challenger goes to battle, if the gym leader for this gym is only going to use 2 pokemon then game will randomly pick 2 pokemon from the "bank" so that way the challenger does not know which pokemon they will have to battle and then will have to adjust their battle styles accordingly. reason being because if the challenger knows exactly which pokemon he or she will b fighting they will just be able to set their team with the types/pokemon that are strongest against the gyms type/pokemon.


I hope i didnt make that too confusing but I thought it would b a great idea let me know what u think

Interesting...

On another note, I don't think that all the good trainers (so to say) get their 6 pokemon right from the start. Most, if not all, the trainers I know catch certain pokemon as they progress, hence these rules are not that necessary for the first few badges. But as the difficulty increases through the game, there will more pokemon from the Gym Leaders, hence, these rules will not be as necessary. However, if there was a system where that Gym Leader would impose those rules, it would be interesting if (s)he always chooses one particular pokemon (his/her strongest) and two random pokemon from a set of pokemon.

Or perhaps make the rules even more difficult, by allowing the challenger use less pokemon than the Gym leader ::)

I don't like the idea that you have to use less pokemon. This means it will be useless to train more than 2-3 pokemon at a time??!! That's just wrong, and it does NOT "make the strategy harder", on the contrary!! If you have more pokemon, you have more abillities to choose from, and therefore you have more options, hence more different strategies. In the gameboy games you're able to just train 1 or 2 pokemon alone, and they will become so strong that they kill everything in one shot and therefore never gets hurt... Is that what you want?? PU should promote trainers with wide variaties of pokemon and skills.. not just have one super pokemon that only has attacking moves, but a team which has leer and growl etc. to soften up the opponents pokemon, and then send in the strong beasts to finnish the job imo.
- I do like the idea that the gym leaders pick random pokemon though, or maybe even choose a specifik team to counter your own well.

You would still have to train many different kinds and types of pokemon, you couldnt just go through with 2/3 pokemon unless you only made 2/3 really strong and didnt train anything else. you would still have to train almost every time so you hvae the advantage in the gym battle, and by not know which pokemon the gym leader will b using will make it more fun and harder, because if you dont know what they will have or use you will need to train many many different kinds of pokemon.

do you honestly think that a gym battle where you get to use 6 pokemon and the gym leader only has 2 pokemon is realistic? if thats the case then maybe all the gym leaders should just have 6 pokemon then. so then it still works both ways.

I disagree, making combos between different kinds of pokemon will create more viable strategies. By restricting the number of pokemon you can use, all your pokemon would basicly have to be strong attacking types. If you can have 6 pokemon, as I said, you can make combos by softening up the opponent and then take it out easier.. It's one of those small things that would make the game different from the rest, by making those skills like leer and growl remotely usefull!
- a psychich and a fire and a leaf for example would counter just about anything wouldn't you say?? So why not just train those 3 exclusively if you can't use any more pokemon anyway? -If you can have more pokemon, you'd have more moves to choose from == more options == good game.

Okay, please don't get me started on "realistic" in a f....... pokemon game..... That's just ridiculous.. But if the gym leaders have 6 pokemon, the battle will be longer, harder, and it can have more different outcomes.. Meaning the gym leader will have more "options" on how to approach you, and yourself him aswell. 
- Also, why would the gym leader only use 2 pokemon if he has more? (Asuming he is randomly picking pokemon). Ofcourse it'd make sense if it was somekind of gym-rule, but again, I'd just prefere if you had more pokemon to choose from.. Why'd you even bother train an entire team of 6 pokemon if you can't use them all in a gym battle anyway?? -imo you should be able to use up to 6 pokemon, so you can make more different combos.. There's no one saying that YOU can't make that rule for yourself to make it "harder"/"fun" for yourself, but I just don't agree that it would be any harder, since training more pokemon takes longer than training few pokemon...

- However, I see no problem in making somekind of tournament or events where this would be implemented. I just don't like the idea in the normal gyms.
