I am more than serious.
Have you ever heard of Jumpluff sweeping half team?
Azumarill with over 400 Atk doing Uber damage?
Charizard destroying everything?
You have to know that pwning a team with a NU gives more satisfaction than a stupid Standard team.
Yes to 2/3rds of the questions that you mentioned, as both Azumarill and Charizard can very well do those things you mentioned with Belly Drum. Terrible examples.
That being said, the story itself wasn't awful per say, though there were some terrible moves made (switching Kingdra into Garchomp?), but it seemed extremely bland, especially with the lack of substantive commentary. Excessive embellishing that go on for paragraphs among paragraphs isn't any fun to read, but logs are, in my personal opinion, are even less fun to read. Learn to balance the both of them to get the most out of your warstory.
I will commend the author for using non-standard Pokemon with the exception of Skarmory (which'll I'll forgive since I think Skarmory is really cool), and even though he basically only revenge-killed with Sucker Punch, any use of Furrett successfully is an impressive use of Furrett.
