Drohn said:People can only gain Pokémon if they get attacked by someone they can beat, but I think majority would not risk losing a Pokémon and go for a type advantage so they win. Even with give-aways it will be a while before my team is ready to fight a water-type team. I think this will end up with many not being able to gain more Pokémon due to being challenged by weaknesses.
A more fair solution would be a "Weakness Policy". We could take a Pokémon if we win (no matter whether you were challenged or challenged the other) unless we had a type advantage over the other person.
Most normal types barely carry STAB. Most of them have access to a wide range of options and plenty of status.Eron said:Drohn said:People can only gain Pokémon if they get attacked by someone they can beat, but I think majority would not risk losing a Pokémon and go for a type advantage so they win.

We can do something about it..
Your idea is good. You know, being attacked by Water is bad for you, or imagine a Challenge between Ghost and Normal types...
Implementing that idea.
Celever said:The weakness policy won't work when we have Pokemon of many different types.
Drohn said:Maybe we can limit trades to one trade per phase instead of them being level 15 and only use the weakness policy during the first 3-4 phases.
SylveonsAndEspurrs said:I simply would like this cleared up:
So with the starter pokemon, you are allowed to pick a pokemon that can become your type? Just for an example- say one is the fighting kingdom lord/lady. They want Chesnaught on their team. Could they choose Chespin as one of their starter six?
SylveonsAndEspurrs said:Alright; that makes sense. Thank you
