Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Okay, so re: Protean, I feel that the main trouble in dealing with it is that there's an added need for conditionals depending on what type your opponent transforms into. When you're commanding first, you need to decide how you want to split up your conditional slots between accounting for the... -

This is correct. Almost everyone I know (including myself) seems to have been confused about this, so I really need to rewrite it, I guess. Magic Bounce works exactly as it does in the games, and probably needs to be nerfed since it could actually come into circulation now, yes. As for Protean... -

I agree with Superbird re: Protean and LotF re: Gale Wings: I don't really see Gale Wings as much of a problem (and actually passed up on HA Fletchling because I thought it was underwhelming). We can certainly keep an eye on it, though; if you notice it getting out of hand anywhere, let the... -

I like this one a lot. First I was thinking it might not really address the problem, but it might be a decent enough drawback and it makes great flavour sense. (The Pokémon's constantly switching types, so it's lost any affiliation it might have had with any elemental energies at all, or...
