    Honestly, I think it unnecessarily limits authors if they keep going back to the same, oh, I'll be generous and say 20-25 Pokemon. There's hundreds to choose from now.

    I find this especially hilarious given how, at least in the games, every Ghost/Dark specialist we've seen has been kind of a jerk or a somewhat dirty fighter at the worst. (The jerk was Agatha, and Grimsley says a few things that are indicative of him being a Combat Pragmatist). Everyone else...
