Thinking back on it, there is one more criticism I had:
Battle Orders: I remember back during the R&J fight that it seemed that the orders for their pokemon were not set in stone before the Round was rolled out. In an irl setting around a table, that's fine because of how the game is supposed to work. In a play-by-post setting like the one we have set up, though, that has the potential to be rather unfair for the players since we can't alter our orders mid round without several conditional orders.
Just wanted to bring that up for good measure.
That being said, though, fudging and improvisation aren't always bad things for a GM to do if they contribute to the overall story in a positive way and they are used sparingly, imo. Arbok using a non-Lethal Crunch against Metagross to KO it was a good example of that.
