Hehe ... yeah well that Weedle battle was a long time ago ... ehehe... I still love reading it though, it was so fun to write!
Anyway, I suppose as long as the pokemon have an interesting character, it will all work out fine though. The problem is that many writers, like myself, don't really spend much time characterising pokemon, so the moment a reader sees the word "Eevee" or "Bulbasaur", they won't want to know what's coming next.
Hmmm ... I need to work on that ...
