  • To that end, I want to compare my 'mons stats and see what I need to improve. Back in the day my rationale for team composition was “who looks cool?” without much thought to strategy other than the occasional type advantage for gym battles.

    IMO that’s still the best way to pick your team, unless you’re doing PVP. If you’re willing to grind levels to beat the last bosses, at least … I played at least one pokemon game until I had to fight four actually good trainers (varied teams, with the full 6 slots filled) in a row.

    TBH that’s pretty much my main issue with Pokemon, most of the fights are piss-easy because the NPC trainers don’t use even the most basic strategies such as “have a full team” and “don’t do single-type teams”. Then (at least with the older titles), the elite 4 come in and kick your ass all the way to next week. I hate it when games are inconsistent like that …
