And once again, no matter how much you sugar coat it, fishing for a claim of any sort doesn't have the town's best interest in mind. Everyone think about it for a moment: I am Elgyem, yes? I also have a weak ability, which is very much coinciding with my flavour and Pokemon species itself. It is probably so weak because Elgyem is, in itself, a weak, unevolved Pokemon. Think about what CHARIZARD would have! A powerful fan favourite... Fully evolved, fast, and a lot of powerful material to work with. Something like a bomb would be really fitting for the thing -- Charizard is, after all, a Pokémon who never gives up and gets a rush out of battling stronger Pokémon than it really should. In most games a lot can be discovered just from the role name, and this is definitely no exception. I am fully expecting the seer to be a psychic or ghost type, the announcer is probably Exploud or Loudred... If there were items in this game, Purrloin or Glameow would make perfect sense as a thief. The doctor is probably a normal type of some sort (like Chansey or something) and the vig is probably a ruthless physical, not afraid to get stuck in Pokemon like Seviper or Zangoose! Absol would probably be a wrong-place-wrong-time townie, too.
