i still have no idea how you can think that the game is harder when the gym leader only uses 2 pokemon and you get to use 6, How is that at all in any way hard? almost any team of 6 could beat any gym just because of the simple fact that you have 6 and they only have 2 or 3. its too easy any one can do it as proven by ALL of the other pokemon games where any kid with a gameboy older than 5 can beat it. just seems to easy to me.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. In the gameboy games I always had like 2 maybe 3 pokemon that I trained exclusively, and never used anything else. It is actually much harder to train several pokemon at a time. I hope the PU team will make it so that a team of low level pokemon can stand a chance against a strong pokemon. Because in the gameboy games, if you just train 1 pokemon it'll eventually be able to KO everything in one hit, and therefore never get hurt. So imho, it'd hurt the game if it forces you to train few pokemon into high levels opposed to several pokemon that can work well as a team with different combinations.
- Please explain to me why you think anyone would bother train 6 pokemon if you can only use 3 of them at a time. Pokemon should be about teamwork even amongst your own pokemon.
- That being said, I really don't care how many pokemon the gym leader has. It's not about the number of pokemon, it's about the strength of the ones you have. He can have 2 or 3 or 6, idc but restricting the number the player can use I feel will ruin the game. It's a good idea for a tournament event maybe.
- The random pokemon idea is great though, I like that.

But then, the Gym Leaders won't be the Gym Leaders of Nintendo, they'll be those of PU, and I can assure you that they plan to make it so that when you face a gym leader, you will need to show your worth to obtain your badge. At times, yes, one pokemon can go on a win streak. Say it's your starter. Now, you got half of your badges with this one pokemon. You head on to the next gym, but hey, this gym holds a type strong on your pokemon, and guess what? Your move pool just cannot take the pokemon in one hit or two, before your pokemon gets down. And then there is the balance team ensuring that any pokemon can beat any other pokemon. Well, you'll be 'blocked' on this gym leader if you're not well prepared. (You won't know which type the Leader has until you go up to him/her, well, unless someone else tells it to you.)

neokills:
that brings another issue to my attention, in the show when the gym leader sends out a pokemon ash is able to just pick and choose which of his pokemon are best to battle with, so i dont know if i like the idea of just the "front" or 1st pokemon to automatically be sent out, esp. if you dont know the gym's type and what pokemon he/she would be using.

I think you should be able to go into a gym match and once the gym leader sends out a pokemon you can choose which 1 you want to send out.

Jerry:
Yes, that's another option... I doubt though that it'll be implemented.

Say in a PVP battle, what will determine who sends the first pokemon. Obviously, the one sending afterwards will have an edge on the first one... ::)
