You know, I would be worked up about this, but I stopped taking PETA seriously a long time ago. I think it was around the time that South Park really took the piss out of them that I realized that they weren't even a real group, they're attention whores.<br/><br/>Oh, and I just wanted to share something. B/W 2 does confirm the fact that Gym Leaders in the Pokemon Universe scale down their teams for certain battles. Cheren complains in one conversation about not being able to use his 'usual team' after you beat him, and Juniper basically tells him to shut up.<br/><br/>EDIT: Oh, and it's also justified in-game by saying that battles that come down to the wire deepen the bond between the challenger and his Pokmeon.
