But that was also a very specific Riolu that was specially trained y a good trainer, fighting against another pokemon that also had no actual feats to its name. If I were to pull out my own Riolu and have it fight against someone Gigalinth, my Riolu would garuntee to get its ass handed to him.

Just like any other RPG fighter, you would have to do everything you can to make it represent itself by brining to the table what that exact character can bring in. But because "a" Lucario isn't an actualy character, but a race of pokemon that can be customized down to its eyelashes, even a composite would still be completely player influenced.

The only reason the pokemon battle royale worked as because they put all 3 pokemon the exact same restrictions, which involved not studying them as characters and going by the actual game mechanics.

Sorry, this is a bit of a touchy subject for me.
