>>50208943I like to think that the MC is gifted but not in the usual "he can bond with pokemons exeptionally" and other chosen one shit, but because he has the advantage of knowing type matchup and has actual battle skills. It's like he has the scientific knowledge aka batteling prowess that is rarely matched by the majority of people. Yes, they know some of the major matchup, like fire water grass, but dragon? Ghost? Rare type interactions are almost unknown to the majority of people.
Pokemon types are also mostly unknown, as you need to catch them AND have a pokedex to shed light on those. Most trainers are attacking wild mons randomly, with ineffective moves. That's why for example Ash uses Tbolt on Onix, he didn't know that it was ground type. Maybe he thought he was only Rock (don't matter that in anime bs it worked out)
This would make me a god among trainers easily. Then the rape starts
