SECOND GIMMICK BATTLE ANNOUNCEMENT: Adaptation Battle!

Each participant must create a team based on a character from any adaptation of pokemon they choose (anime, manga, whatever). They can choose any character they like, but can only use pokemon that character has in their posession. So, for example, if one chose Ash Ketchum, they could use a pikachu, but not a raichu or a pichu. All pokemon must retain the most recent stage of evolution they have in the most recent installment of that adaptation. A good resource for building your team would be to check serebii.net's character bios for the anime and manga. Good luck!
