That title is a little bit long but I couldn't think of a better one. Basically, my idea for this thread is this: the Pokémon series has lots of different trainers in all of it's media, such as the games, anime and manga. So what if every week we took a look at the Pokémon used by a specific trainer in the series and tried to come up with the best possible team for them? Here's what I mean.

Let's say this week's trainer is Ash. Then, I would list all of Ash's Pokémon alongside the moves they have been shown using and their ability and gender, if it is confirmed, and the helf items he has used (of course, ash, as an anime trainer, doesn't use held items, but you get the gist) It would look like this:

Ash's team:

Pikachu (Male) - Static
Moves used: Thundershock, Thunderbolt, Quick Attack [...]

Squirtle (Unknown gender) - Unknown ability
Moves used: Water Gun, Hydro Pump [...]

(And so on, with all his Pokémon)

Ash's items:

Mega Stones: None
Z-Crystals: Electrium Z
Other items: None

For the first 3 days of the week, there would be a poll for which Pokémon we want this week's trainer to use. We are aiming for a full team of 6, so each user would be able to choose up to 6 Pokémon. For the fourth and fifth day, we would post which moveset each Pokémon should have, including held items if the trainer has them and gender and ability in case those haven't been confirmed officially (for anime/manga Pokémon) or the Pokémon's gender and ability are random in the game it appears in. For the last 2 days, there would be a poll so we could choose only of one these movesets for each Pokémon, and after that I'd post the finalized team.

So, would everyone be up to it? If so, I can post Red's Pokémon and items so we can figure out his best possible team.
