Yes. :O Unless my Pokémon were sick/tired, or if I needed to get somewhere.

Well, it's kind of an unwritten law that Pokemon Trainers must accept all challenges issued by another Pokemon Trainer, but personally, I would never accept every challenge I'm offered. I'm impatient at worst and sometimes training and battling isn't on my mind.

Challenges? Eh, I'd take the most I guess. Weak challengers are good for getting a feel of how your team works and just plain gathering exp and strong ones allow me to improve on my strategy and prediction skills as well as pinpoint any serious flaws in the team (Speaking of NB experience here, but the same would pretty much apply if it were for real. ^^). Arrogant challengers? Oh, I'd definitely take those on, particularly if it's obvious that they're all talk. Bringing the reall puffed up ones down in a 6 0 kind of way is just too satisfying. xD The times I wouldn't battle would be...
1. If it's blatantly obvious that I couldn't measure up to my opponent and the situation didn't force me to battle.
2. If my pokémon weren't in the shape to battle. (Although I'd have to make an exception in forced situations like emergencies and suchlike)
3. If I have something more important to do or an appointment to keep.
4. If my challenger had some other agenda than just plain battling me.
5. If the battleground was rigged in my opponent's favour, specifically against me, or a combination of the two. The exception of forced situations applies here too.
6. If there were ridiculously high stakes involved in the battle. (Again, I would have to make an exception for the times when the battle was forced, say...if my opponent had staked something that I desperately needed to get)
7. If my challenger was a pathetic whiner who had spent the last two weeks challenging me again and again just because he/she lost against me before.
If it were an IRL thing, I guess that virtually no experienced/famous trainer would have the time for every challenge being sent their way, so yish. I generally try to meet the demand, though. ^^

I have to admit, you have a point there. Using pokemon just to teach some jerk a lesson can very well be called pokemon abusement. If we ppl have problems then we should just deal with them ourselves. It's just like if ppl used pokemon in war battles. That's just using the pokemon abilities without respecting them and that's not how things should work.
I may not fight every trainer I saw. If I knew they were like, a bazillion times stronger than I was, heck no. XD; I'd have to say if I knew I could beat the other person, of course I'd have to take them out. Come on, it'd be their funeral for challenging me in the first place. XD

I never back down from a good battle. Most of the time I couldn't care less if I won, because I play to have fun and laugh with friends. And I would choose weaker Pokemon to match my friends team, just to be nice and have the battle be fair, but if some snooty kid came up to me and asked to battle and kept telling me I'm gonna lose because I suck, I wouldn't care if he was weaker, I'd beat him just to teach him to be nicer to people.
