  1. Speaking of these guys,I had a hilarious and lucky run during my Black 2 playthrough many years ago.
    My team: Sin ( m Serperior ) Adamant: Return,Coil,Leech Seed and Leaf Blade
    Edge ( m Lucario ) Jolly: Force Palm,Swords Dance,Ice Punch,Shadow Claw
    Thorn ( m Arcanine ) Careful: Flamethrower,Toxic,Bulldoze,Crunch
    Petra ( f Swanna ) Hardy: Fly,Surf,Roost,Air Slash
    Ricta ( f Krooodile ) Naughty: Earthquake,Crunch,Rock Slide,Attract
    Tiny ( f Galvantula ) Modest: Discharge,Electro-Web,Signal Beam,Energy Ball

    Shauntal’s battle went quick with nothing special happening.
    Grimsley’s battle,Edge sets up one Swords Dance and swept his team.
    Catlin’s battle,Ricta swept her entire team thanks to Moxie,and for some reason Catlin withdrew Musharna for Reuniclus turn one
    Marshall’s battle,Petra got really lucky and swept due to flinching Sawk,Throh and Conkeldurr trying to Bulk up.
    Iris’ battle,Tiny took out Hydreigon with one Signal Beam.Edge got lucky against Druddigon with Focus Blast missing while setting up a Swords Dance.He then OHKO’d Druddigon.Breaks Aggron’s Sturdy but it used Atomize.Brought Haxourus down to its sash,but it used Dragon Dance.Lapras and Archeops were OHKO’d

  2. The only one I don’t really care for is Marshal, so it was tough for me to choose. But, I love Shauntal a little more than I do Caitlin, and I only really like Grimsley for his design and aesthetic.
    I like the Ghost-type, love her design and room designs, love her dialogue/personality, and she writes books! (She’s a Ghost trainer version of me :D) so yeah 🙂

  3. Holy crap… I didn’t even vote and it seems to have chosen my choice. o.o because Shauntal’s name is bolded and italicized.

  4. So apparently, the GTS and other online features are found in the Festival Plaza. I would’ve much rather have had it stay on the menu for convenience.

  5. This is the generationt that ruined the e4 challenge so i resent this group. Not to mention they are all forgettable and boring. What the heck did caitlin do to Darach? He was the brawn and brain of the battle castle!

  6. Well I’m voting for Grimsley. I’ve always loved his design and the whole old world Gothic (those medieval clothes?)nobility vibe he gives off. I absolutely love his quote “If somebody wins, the person who fought against that person will lose. That’s battle. A good contender just seeks the next victory without bragging after winning, and without getting upset after losing.”

  7. Not that I’m complaining, because the Gen IV Elite 4 didn’t leave much of an impression on me, but I’m surprised Flint won. I remembered playing DPPT that he struck me as a bit of a sore loser. I know, I know, he’s a flame and he starts energized and burns out while Volkner gets charged up from battles (Really clever concept). However, I remember back when the games came out, he struck me as such a… Such a… Such a kid, I guess?… Oh no! I’m turning into Iris! T.T
