Yeah true, if you're stupid enough to only train one pokemon.. But as I wrote in another post, you can easily make a 3-pokemon-combo, that counters every kind of combination. Fire-Lightning-psychic for example... There's no combination of pokemon that can beat 3 strong pokemon of those types.. Fire is usually good at everything, but it's weak against water. Lightning beats water, but is weak against rock etc. Pyschich is great against everything, especially rock types..
So what can beat a combo like that??

Well, if this suits you, fine with me.
--- Quote ---My point is. In the original handheld games, If you have 6 lvl 45 pokemon against 1 lvl 55-60ish, the lvl 60 pokemon wins, because it 1shot K.O.'s everytime. It rarely even matters what types it is.. But the sum of the experience points of the one who only had 6 pokemon, is clearly larger then the sum of the guy who only trained 1 pokemon.. Is that fair? no way.

This part has some truth, and a part not always true at the same time. Different pokemon get different amounts of EXP as they level up. You can have a pokemon at level 60 with, I don't know... 350000 EXP and another one at level 50 with the exact same amount of EXP. (an example)
--- Quote ---If two people have the exact same sum of exp over all their pokemon; logic dictates that, the one who distributes it evenly over the most pokemon, should have the advantage because he has more viable moves than the other. It's not hard to make one pokemon and spam 1-2 spells.
It requires much more gamesense to make great combos, and great gamesense has to be rewarded in a competitive enviroment, otherwise the game dies.
I'm a strategist, I've been playing turn-based and -RTS's my entire life. I'm not in this for the roleplaying. So I refuse to play a game where all I have to do is spam nukes without thinking. Turn-based strategi games should be mindgames!

I would agree to a certain point, because real competitive battling is carried out at max levels, where I am most certainly sure that the player will take all 6 slots for his/her pokemon. EXP here no more matters, but strategy.

I think i missed the part where psychic is super effective against rock and rock is super effective to electric
Jerry:
Yeah, I didn't bother to read it all :-[

Psychic moves are great (2x) against FIGHTING- and POSION-typed pokemon.
ROCK is weak (2x) to FIGHTING-, GRASS-, GROUND-, STEEL- and WATER-typed moves.
So please elaborate on:

So for you're "So what can beat a combo like that??" statement, I give you a Rhyperior with Megahorn and Earthquake.
Of course it all comes down to your 2nd typing of those three pokes of yours.

I support This idea, i don't know that it will count for anything though.
