A little advice, For little old me

So, I'm starting a manga with my friend, I'm writing, desinging the plot, drawing the Pokemon, and she's drawing the people.

So I'm having trouble with coming up with Pokemon for the characters, so this is what I have so far:

The main character has these: [FONT=&quot]Torkoal, Totodile, & Torterra

The love interest has these: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Vulpix, Meditite, & Delcatty

The 'kid' has these: [FONT=&quot]Elekid, Grovyle, & Skarmory

The main rival has these: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Octillery, Ninetales, Machamp

& The villain has these:[/FONT] [/FONT]Ditto, Aerodactyl, & Abomasnow [FONT=&quot]

Now this is the problem, there Pokemon are filling up fine,, but what I'm looking for is type disadvantages, & how I could fill up there teams, thanks

Well to start, Tododile has a weakness to Elekid.
Ninetales has a weakness to Tododile.
Thats to start.

All that I did when making up the team for my OT and her partner was flip through a Pokedex and look at all the Pokemon that interested me. (I also looked at Pokemon that weren't terribly over-used in fanfiction.) Then I made sure that the main types were covered the best I could for each team.

So what you can do is just look at first the types of each Pokemon. Then you could also look at the move set of each Pokemon, to see if they could learn moves that would give them an advantage in battle against other types.

Of course, what could also help is looking to see what Pokemon fills what role that you need on the team and in the plot of the manga. That could help you as well.

Yeah thats a good point, one thing I'm worried about is location, someone from the city wouldn't have a Pokemon from the ocean. (Until they started traveling) Actually, the way I'm picking them, is by name.

Yeah, I know it's weird. There is a pattern there, I just don't remember it.
