-Both trainer and gym leader is required to select their Pokemon ahead of time. Maya may only select two but the trainer may select three and use only two during battle. Both the challenger and I must PM a trusted person (either Akane or Nicole) your pre-selected Pokemon to make sure no one uses a different Pokemon. You must stick to your selection as will I. This is so that neither party knows what the other is using.
-Both trainer and gym leader is allowed 1 switch out for the entire battle. Use it well.
-I generally battle in the style of the game rules with some of the anime/movie rules thrown in. Meaning that we go turn by turn. You are not allowed to attack or use a move until the other person replies with their attack or move.
-Speed is based on stats, whoever’s Pokemon is faster is who will go first. Unless levels could dictate otherwise.
-The temple grounds are sacred. Trainers will be respectful and polite. Any out of control Pokemon or trainers will be asked to leave.
