I bought White, but it'll take me like five more days to finish Fire Emblem

Just from scanning the guide, it sounds like a good Dark type would steamroll half the Elite IV

You're right, but Chandelure is much harder to defeat than you'd think. I thought that Zoroark would easily beat him, but his insanely high Sp.Atk made short work of him >_<.

I'm so going to have a chandelure on my team, he looks soooo freakin' cool.  I gotta say, I haven't even started playing yet, and I'm warming up to a good number of these designs.....this makes me happy.  I haven't *really* liked a new group since Gen 2 really...

I only knew how cool was Chandelure much later in the game, otherwise I would have had him on my White team as well. There's a good selection of psychic, ghost and dark pokemon in the new games, shame that it's lacking in other types, like Fire, Water and Flying.

Flying I don't mind, they always have  a lot.  Water is really that bad?  And fire, I think this might be because they are so good lol, they always do this.

It's not that they're bad, it's just that they're not useful overall. Samurott is the only really powerful water type (the only one with over 500 base stats) and Seismitoad is a bit above average, but that's it.

The only problem with the lack of Flying types is that I always like to have a pokemon that can use Fly on my team. Not only for it's HM use, but because it's good to use in battle as well. 

Archen did a pretty amazing job on my White team, but Acrobatics made Fly, as a combat move, useless.
