John J. Gamefreak just brought you into his office. For the next Pokemon title they'll bring back a protagonist of your choosing to be featured as a post-game battle.

You are to design the trainer's team, providing a short justification for each choice. You are told not worry about "canon", and are to choose what you think will be most fun for a post game battle.

I'll start with Gold.

>Typhlosion
Fire starters are popular.
>Shuckle
You're given one.
>Shiny Gyarados
A guaranteed encounter.
>Skarmory
>Mammoswine
>Umbreon
You are given the Eevee, and all 3 represent the types introduced in Gen II.
