[ time for another episode of Bull in the Big City! he's on horseback today (Rapidashback, to be specific), and is headed in the general direction of the department store! but on his way, a query for the pokegear: ]Citizens of Johto, hi, or, uhh, good morning, I guess it is... I was wondering a thing and I was hoping that maybe there would be

The gym leaders are pretty tough in general. I wouldn't want to go up against 'em under-leveled. [he pauses.] m'not sure how strong they are, but I've heard things from my friends. The gym leader here is kind of a cry baby when she loses though, and I think she fights with normal types? Not sure what type has the advantage there... [he taps his chin thoughtfully.] But as far as strengthening up your pokémon you can have them battle against the wild.

Oh, yes, I've been trying to prepare my monsters for more formidable duels by practicing on less, uhh, challenging opponents, but, I guess maybe not as much as I potentially could have been, regarding the training, since, it just didn't feel like it was the right thing to do to be making them do all the battling all the time.

[conflictedrebel]

Nah, man. You wanna put your pokémon up against the stronger, more challenging ones. That's how they get stronger. Things'll just go slow if you keep giving them easy wins. [he pauses.] And yeah, it might not feel right, but it's in their nature? If that makes sense.

[bullieve]

It does. Uhh, make sense, I mean, since, I know that the Pokemon monsters are generally for developing in such a way. But I would rather that they just have fun than struggle, I guess, and winning more easily is a more fun method of doing than struggling...

[conflictedrebel]

Right, well I'm not sayin' that they should go fight something that's ten times stronger then them! That'd be overkill. What you wanna do is shoot for something that's... a level or three stronger than they are. s'what I do when I'm training mine. It'll be challenging, but nothing that'd cause 'em to struggle.

I guess that margin doesn't sound like one that is too difficult to manage. And also what I could do is ask them if they're feeling up to it, my Pokemon I mean, of course, uhh, and that would be an effective way to gauge the struggling that is or isn't happening.

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Yep, pretty much.

[ and once again Tavros has been talked into being a little less lame!! now if only everyone could approach him this way. ]

Okay, then, uhh, I guess I can give that a try.

[conflictedrebel]

I'm sure you'll do fine! If you need help, just lemme know 'kay?

[video]

[bullieve]

Really? I mean, uh. Sure, I'll do that if the situation arises that I need assistance, if you really don't mind.

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Yeah, totally. Hit me up anytime 'kay?
