Hi guys, I was once an avid pokemon gamer on both the hand helds and netbattle, but as my free time decreased I stopped playing pokemon at the turn of the 4th gen. However, with the recent purchase of Pearl I hope to get back into the Pokemon community once more. I do have a few questions regarding 4th gen. vs. 3rd though. First is I heard w/ the split in attack types that walling and tanking have become much harder transitioning the metagame in 4th gen. to a very fast offensive minded game. I was kind of disappointed when I orginally heard this becuz I was a fan of stall teams and the strategy involved behind breaking the opponents defenses and setting up your sweeps in longer more drawn out battles. So is this true has are stall teams a thing of the past and is the overal game flow of 4th gen. all out attack pretty much? Secondly in your guys opinions do these fast pased games make for more enjoyable battles or not? Sorry for the long post I am looking forward to getting back into teh flow of Pokemon and was just curios on your guys opinions on these issues of game flow. Thanx every1.

Stall is still a viable option in DPP - there's no reason for you not to try it if that's your preferred playing style. I'd reccomend you look through Obi's Stall Team thread to get some ideas (the team itself is mostly outdated but the advice is not):
