I like to take them out quickly and painfully, using moves like earthquake, aeroblast (taught to my smeargle as well as lugia), and leaf storm

I like attacking them, 'till they faint.

I'm not a defence type of person.

Well, i love battles that take time. You get a real feel and, for instance the champion, you get such a nice feeling when you have won the battle.

In-game? Quick Battle, always. There needs to be no strategy involved in-game. Hit 'em hard and well, and they'll go down.

Competitive Battling, though, is another issue. Then I will resort to strategy, perhaps delaying the battle a bit to further an advantage.

I thankfully KO them quickly. They don't get a chance to touch me. I sometimes dish with Sand-Attack, the best move in my opinion along with Double-Team (evasiveness and accuracy FTW!).

Like a guy in Ruby wrote into his Pokenav, strike before striken!^^ I prefer pwning my enemies with strong attacks and I'm trying to sweep with every Pokemon (Yeah, I have a Calm Mind Cress, it really kicks ass!^^), even with those where you shouldn'y do that... Well, I know how EVing and DVing works and I'm also no noob at strategy, but I prefer the good ol' sweepin' !^^

Quick battle usually, but sometimesI have to go slow and use stat altering moves.

Mostly quick battle, so I voted for "quick battle"

I take them down quickly, so they have less chance to attack me :D
I don't know it depends. If I am craving to play Pokemon then yes I love to take it a little slowly. If I am craving pokemon but want to beat the elite four so I can get the Battle Park unlocked then I rush it with strong attacks. On Wi-fi I would use any attack as long as it kills the enemy faster and easier.

For competitive, slow battles. A 6-0 stall is so much more gratifying than just dragon dancing a salamence and sweeping 6-0

If it's a random trainer/wild Pokémon battle, I'll try and just make the Pokémon faint ASAP, but I always have a strategy for Wi-Fi battles, Gym Battles, E4, Pokémon I want to catch etc.

In-game, I prefer to finish battles as quickly as possible. I really see no reason for prolonging battles when I could be moving on to other battles or getting more training done.

Quick Battles, seeing as I like to blitz. xD, I mean, I go full offense. I don't really use moves like Calm Mind and such. Seems like a waste... then I curse myself for losing. xD

A fast battle is a sure battle no? If you an win quickly then your victory has been assured now, and if not youll now, but with a slower battle theres always that impending threat that, oh frick I might lose, or something horrible may happen leading to an even longer battle full of woe. Power is power as the name entails, why not use it?

I love tense, slow battles. It makes you feel you earned the win. Better than 6HKOing an entire team.

really i have an mixed team planned. if you played battle factory a lot, you may have seen the umbreon. it's a beast. not really, but it can stand up to just about anything.

usually my team has like 4 all out attackers, 2 defenders. pretty balanced. the defenders are especially good against those powerhouses you just can't seem to beat.
