Rules(to make this a bit more challenging/interesting):

  • Don't just use base stats to make your decision!
  • The Pokemon have to be from different generations!
  • The Pokemon cannot be the same type

I think Alakazam vs Miltoic would be neck and neck

Flareon v Umbreon

Smeargle v Lv<15 Magikarp

Marill v Jigglypuff

Entei v Electrivire

I think Alakazam vs Miltoic would be neck and neck

Flareon v Umbreon

Ditto v Lv<15 Magikarp

Marill v Jigglypuff

Entei v Electrivire

I think Magikarp would win that one, assuming it only uses tackle and not splash, as Ditto would waste a turn transforming giving Magikarp the upper hand health wise.

Umbreon would annihilate, but then I'm biased :p

Growlithe vs Houndour

Blaziken vs Electivire

Tryranitar vs Salamence

Charizard vs Zoroark
 
I think most counterparts would be evenly matched like:
Tauros v Bouffalant
Gyarados v Milotic
Cacturne v Maractus
Alomomola v Luvdisc
Arbok v Seviper
Archeops v Aerodactyl
Carracosta v Omastar/Kabutops
Kingler v Crawdaunt
Crobat v Swoobat
Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan v Throh/Sawk
Muk v Garbodor
Togetic v Lucario
Lucario v Zoroark
Golem v Gigalith
Parasect v Amoonguss
Machamp v Conkeldurr
Seismitoad v Poliwrath/Quagsire

Pokemon cannot be the same type! Or else it'd be too easy to think of matchups!
 
Imposing rules like that could be cool for a thread on fun and games, but not here.

Serperior VS Sceptile
 
Venusaur v Torterra
Blaziken v the monkey
Serperior v Sceptile
Blastoise v Feraligatr
Arcanine v Houndoom
Gyarados v Milotic
Dragonite v Salamence
Scizor v Bisharp
Tyranitar v Metagross
Gothitelle v Gardevoir
Alakazam v Gallade
Whimsicott v Jumpluff
Garchomp v Flygon
Braviary v Pidgeot
Mandibuzz v Honchkrow
Haxorus v Hydreigon
Volcarona v Venomoth
Lugia v Ho-Oh
Kyogre v Groudon
Dialga v Palkia
Reshiram v Zekrom

Whew! That was exhausting. With the exception of Haxorus/Hydreigon, I tried making them all of different generations.
 
Both of the Pokémon in each of the pairs which I have quoted are from the same generation.

Right, my bad. I wasn't counting legendary pairs for obvious reasons. I probably should have mentioned that previously.
 
Venusaur v Torterra
Blaziken v the monkey
Serperior v Sceptile
Blastoise v Feraligatr
Arcanine v Houndoom
Gyarados v Milotic
Dragonite v Salamence
Scizor v Bisharp
Tyranitar v Metagross
Gothitelle v Gardevoir
Alakazam v Gallade
Whimsicott v Jumpluff
Garchomp v Flygon
Braviary v Pidgeot
Mandibuzz v Honchkrow
Haxorus v Hydreigon
Volcarona v Venomoth
Lugia v Ho-Oh
Kyogre v Groudon
Dialga v Palkia
Reshiram v Zekrom

Most of these aren't valid. Remember they cannot be the same type!
 
That would be way to hard.

Mightyena/Houndoom
Poockyena/ houndour

Lucario/Zoroark/Bisharp/Gallade would all be evenly matched, IMO.
 
Charizard vs. Typhlosion (I think this counts, as Charizard is a Flying-type)
Magikarp vs. Feebas
Tyranitar vs. Salamence
Metagross vs. Togekiss
Celebi vs. Jirachi (evenly matched because both of their powers were "unlocked" in the movies they were in)
 
Mudkip vs. Arceus

Charizard vs......wait, Charizard can't be beaten by anyone...



Sorry, had to post troll suggestions. Couldn't resist.

In all honesty, I think a battle between Azelf and Victini probably could get pretty darn epic...I would have to put more thought into it, but on the surface that seems like a really even match-up to me.
 
DW Politoed vs. DW Ninetails in an Open Stadium Battle.

Sweet Jesus let the great Weather Battle begin!
(I have this strange image in my head that one half of the fighting arena is covered in a continuous rain cloud and the other half of the stadium is Bright and Sunny, while each of the two pokemon fight for weather based control.)
Also for any one who might say it's unevenly matched because Ninetails is Fire type. I'm saying that Ninetails has Solar Beam and is faster than Politoed. If you think about it, it would be interesting to see.

I think this one has been said before but...
Milotic vs. Gyarados
The two great Sea Serpents duking it out. That would be freaking awesome.

Blaziken vs. Empolean
The battle of Dueling types. Fire/Fight vs. Water/Steel.

Also I know that I've always wanted to see the two Ninja Pokemon out-Ninja each other.
Ninjask vs. Accelgor
That would be an interesting and crazy fast battle.

Those are the main ones I think would be really super awesome to see.
