Exact Opposite DL. Exact fecking Opposite.
If you remember, the original line up was Misdrevious (Zorua) vs Spiritomb, due to a mistake made with the way Illusion was written.
Granted, I was taken by surprise by the Misdrevious turning into a Zorua (as is expected with the Ability: Illusion), and had to rework my plan (HOW you got that part confused/forgotten I have NO idea). However, I could have (and maybe should have) asked for a re-do of the entire First Round not because I knew i was fighting Zorua after the fact, but because Illusion was Reffed Incorrectly (if you remember, I didn't ask to have my attacks changed as a result). Had Zorua been a Spiritomb when released (as Illusion said it would be) my entire line of attacks would have been different, and thus, the outcome would have been different.
The reason I didn't argue it was because I felt it wouldn't have been fair to Jeli for a Gym Leader (his first Gym Match) to throw a tantrum instead of rolling with the punches.
If Illusion worked for PKMN in your Team:
Misdrevious (Zorua) vs Spiritomb
- Nothing changed in how I would have handled it, and how it went down.
If Illusion worked against the current Pokemon (as it was then):
Spiritomb (Zorua) vs Spiritomb
- Attacks and counters completely different for first round. (accounting for different weaknesses and strategies).
And as we all know, the first round can be the deciding factor. However, to make it clear, I am NOT asking for a redo of that first round. It's come, gone, and we'll get on with our lives.
EDIT: Also, Ay, do you want to alienate EVERYONE from ASB? That is a bad idea.. a VERY bad idea...
