HashtagSEP posted... There's a definite difference, though. FE main characters are battle ready and don't need anything else to accompany them. You can't use the Pokemon main characters without giving them all atleast one Pokemon. If you choose only one, why not just cut out the middleman and make it the Pokemon itself? And if you use multiple, is it going to be the starters every time?

It's not really a fair comparison.

I think I covered this under Pokemon making for more interesting movesets -- but for whatever it's worth I don't think those two options are the only ones available. For example, you could have a trainer fight kind of like Yugi in the Shounen Jump DS fighting games, such that Pokemon come out for a moment for moves but aren't directly playable:
