[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Kirlia looks determined to be ready, and he doesn't think there's much he could have done better in that battle.

"Oh yeah, there's obviously a lot more to battles than type matchups! Trainer skill, speed of reflexes, connection between trainer and Pokemon... evolution can be a factor, though not always the biggest factor. Beldum will certainly be much stronger even as a Metang. And then there's all the extra tools available to a League official, some of which I can't talk about...but vast supplies of healing items and access to the best available held items can make a big big difference as well. All of which go into protecting the brave slash foolish trainers Running with the Pokemon!"
