War | | This isn't the thread for war battles, but worth noting is how your character's pokemon can effect a large battle. Your pokemon becomes an abstraction. Every pokemon falls into one of three categories. Your bulbasaur may be a wall, but someone else's may be a sweeper.
You choose your pokemon's role, and once chosen, the category cannot be changed.
The abstractions work in a rock-paper-scissors system. Walls withstand sweeper damage. Sweepers brutalize utility. Utility finds weakness in walls.
WALL. The classic tank; walls are meant to withstand lots and lots of damage. They are resilient, powerfully defensive, and a worthy addition to any battle.
SWEEPER. Damage-dealers, revenge-killers, and glass canons, the sweeper shows up to deliver the hurt. They bring the nukes, the chaos, and the bloodshed to battle.
UTILITY. Leads, clerics, spinners, and every other role that falls outside the unstoppable shield/unbreakable sword paradigm. Good utility pokemon will turn the tide of battle.
