Maybe once it starts I'll try also. I have all the Mythical Pokemon, but not the legendaries yet.Need to balance out my team if I'll have a chance to make it through.
I have some legendaries ready (if we can use the ones from ORAS/XY) and, about the Mythical... I think I never used them XDDD

Good luck against team of Landorus + M-Kangaskhan asd (I lost against a team like that :yeahyeah:)
UGH GOD NO! Don't... MENTION... that Kangaskan!! That Pokemon gave me total trouble in the Battle Agency no thanks to Giovanni! >_< But you know what? Khangashan is a Normal Type... and they are weak against Fighting types... and Marth... is~? ;)

At any rate I'll figure something out. Can't go Mono-types this time. Nova is my Psychic-Fairy type so that is already taken care of.

Was his Kangaskhan a mega evolved Pokémon? Because if it gave you trouble immagine how difficult will be the mega XDD (a mega terror XD)

Did you know that your Pokèmon in the Battle Agency is a Gallade? roftlroftl

Just know he has Earthquake which REALLY messes the team up... because that little pokemon even takes out Pokemon with Sturdy! :( Sure you survive... but then it attacks and you fall... that thing one-hits you, which I shoudl think Megas shoudln't be allowed in Battle Agency OR competative play... Kinda like Ash-Greninja. lol

Instead I agree that the Mega are in the Battle Agency/Battle Tree and competitive :yesyes: it makes the game more interesting
I know that in the Battle Agency it's difficult to find a Mega but you can easily find a legendary :yesyes: (a good way to keep the M-Kanga away is to burn it > so its attack will be lower than usual)

About Ash-Greninja... I don't like it because I think the Protean ability is more useful and... before "evolving" Greninja you have to defeat an an opponent... not always it will be that easy since Greninja is a little frail :yesyes:

Yeah, but I guess it all depends on stats and movesets.

FUN fact about Greninja because Wynaut? (Bad pun...) Gyjinn Goomba marked him as a great ninja due to skillsets and explains how and why. :3
