Sounds about right. Taking the Dark Souls approach. If there's a way to make it more difficult, do it.

Right. Like always use Pikachu against Dugtrio, and Hitmonchan against Pidgeot.

Oooo, very true. Wait, fire is good on water right? Like, that's straight up Pokemon style there. Always use your Charmander against a Blastoise

But what about that ever so popular water paper?

Pshh, who uses scissors to change the shape of a piece of paper? I always use fire arrows. Need a piece of paper from a notebook? Fire arrow. Want the paper in two pieces in a clean line? FIre arrow. Trying your hand at oragami? Butt-ton of fire arrows.

That and scissors of course.
