My gripe with [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Trainer%27s_Choice&curid=7993&diff=2136750&oldid=2131969 edits like this] is that a lot of the explanation added to these mostly arbitrary wrong answers have pointless information. Yes, Torkoal has one advantage and one resistance to Ninjask's types. However, since Nosepass has a double advantage and a resistance (not spelled ''resistant'', by the way) over Ninjask, it is the best choice. There, done, no need to bother mentioning Torkoal at all. The PTC question asked which is the best choice, not "Rank all three by their individual characteristics." Volbeat, however, is flat-out wrong to include and thus imply it's as good a choice as Chinchou. Both have an advantage over Crawdaunt, but Chinchou has a resistance too. Boom. It's the best, so don't mention second place at all. Similarly, while Gastly does have an advantage and a resistance to Sunflora, Venomoth has all that ''and'' super effective Bug-type attacks ''and'' a double resistance. I think it's pointless (and in the latter two cases, misleading) to mention the ''second''-best choices at all. —<font face="Segoe UI"><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em">[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="#fff">The</font>]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="red">Best</font>]]</span></font> 19:24, 26 June 2014 (UTC) | My gripe with [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Trainer%27s_Choice&curid=7993&diff=2136750&oldid=2131969 edits like this] is that a lot of the explanation added to these mostly arbitrary wrong answers have pointless information.

:But at the same time, it is not incorrect to state that they at least ''have'' an advantage. Yes, it's asking for the ''best'' choice, but we can't just ignore the fact that another one of the choices would also be correct, albeit slightly ineffective. And the Volbeat and GAstly ones are going by types rather than moves, because we've established that moves do not take into account with these questions. Besides, it's like leaving out the Swampert note on AG059, Larvitar would be a perfect choice, but we can't just ignore that Swampert would be a good choice as well.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#025DA6">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#5A96C5">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EA1A3E">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#F16A81">ire</span>]] 02:50, 27 June 2014 (UTC) | |||
