Team *insert name here* Fails

Nightmare Fuel

Comin' for Ya
In your team when battling, if any, what failed? And others, like team rocket.
Because Zubats, meowths and ratattas will EASILY Stop a random girl or boy with a flame hedgehog, a Small baby crocodile and a... thing with a leaf on its head. Discuss.

I think the teams are full of buffoons, with not-fully evolved Pokemon for half the game, and underleveled Pokemon the other half. Zubat, Patrat and Glameow are terrible Pokemon without evolving (Patrat even with evolving), and they're too stupid to realize that. If a Grunt got a Gyarados, then we might have some trouble.

But then WE wouldn't get Dialga/Palkia.

The team leader could get a legendary, but then they've got awesome Poke's to begin with.

If the villians in the games got any stronger than they already are we'd be screwed yeah rattata,patrat,purlion,woobat,zubat,and glameow suck but what if the grunts had Pokemon at the previous gym leaders level? Would you be wishing for an easier match then? o__0

Hell no, especially not with Plasma's incredibly awesome music! It makes for a better battling experience!

^ Indeed.

Yeah, sure. A single Sandile can easily take out a teenager with a poisonous centipede, a fire-breathing monkey, and a samurai-like otter.

They use Poochyena, Numel and Carvanha. They're more of an nuisance club than an actual team.

Good luck finding a good one in Hoenn...

Oh wait, Ninjask. Well, that blows my logic out of the water.

Either way, Ninjask is a good bug. He has Speed Boost, for god's sake! And what with Swords Dance (which waaaaaaaay too many Pokemon get, by the way), it's a decent physical sweeper.

Team Aqua and Team Magma were terrible! By the time that you saw a lot of them, you literally no longer had to worry about type advantage and even if you still did...yeah, ninjask and Swampert/Sceptile/Blaziken, basically could destoy them entirely, including the bosses.

Bibarel's adorable.
Aqua had probably the worst costumes. They just look cheap and didn't look like a proper gang costume. But team Plasma is one I really dislike for their motive. Probably because the whole "Misanthropic Animal Lover" stereotype is really starting to annoy me. THANKS PETA!
