/How to become a Pokemon gym leader, or, What the hell is wrong with me?

1. Pick a single Pokemon type.
2. Generate a random number between 1 and 6.
3. Create your team here. Use the randomly generated number from step 2 and the type from step 1, excluding Legendary and un-evolved Pokemon.

You can grok my set up to the right. To be honest — my mind-meld with SoulSilver notwithstanding — I haven’t played any of the most recent Pokemon games enough to know whether or not I have a good team. (That National Dex just grows up so fast.)

Taking a quick glance, though, it seems like I have some built in resistance to fire-types: Empoleon’s water- and Probopass and Bastiodon’s rock-types will cut my fire weakness in half, right?

God help me.

Squirtle used Water Gun!
