Why don't we do a tournament, except with two special rules: Levels do not apply, and fighting-types only. It'd make the playing field even for those who are just starting out and those who've been here for awhile. The fighting-types only comes from the anime, and if you don't have a fighting pokemon, you could get a random one! Maybe even have it so the trainer can't give orders, just like a real fight, only give it pointers. So it'd be up to the pokemon's skill to determine whether it wins!
