I've been wondering what the best stages are for Pokemon Trainer. I have a tournament coming up and want to know what I should pick.

Castle Siege: the platform layout and close ceiling are excellent for Squirtle combos, and Charizard juggles, but the slant eats or redirects Ivy's Razorleaf.I've been wondering what the best stages are for Pokemon Trainer. I have a tournament coming up and want to know what I should pick.
This! Everything says that Battlefield should work as a stage for the mons, but something just feels....... off? I dunno, most of the time I'd just try and choose something else.Battlefield never feels like an advantageous stage even though it should be (theoretically).
Despite being able to do ladder combos, I think each Pokemon can struggle to land in advantageous positions on this stage. I would only pick this stage if the opponent banned it for or has disadvantages on it (can't think of any characters at the moment).I believe that Smashville can be a positive pick IF you're opponent has no answer for razor leaf. the platform in middle can make aerial approaching awkward, couple this with Ivys anti-air game being brilliant and you can consistantly keep them at vines length. If they do out projectile you then stay away as you'll await the same fate.

I like FD with Trainer. What is your reasoning against it?Castle Siege: the platform layout and close ceiling are excellent for Squirtle combos, and Charizard juggles, but the slant eats or redirects Ivy's Razorleaf.
P.S: quite large so Squirtle's burst movement is not as effective, but its water gun is quite powerful offstage, and the layout it allows Ivysaur's up-air vinewhip to shine as there is no middle platform for sheilding, Charizard can quickly close the distance and ends stocks sooner and the dual plat design is excellent for back air kills.
Yoshi Brawl: Ivysaur and Charizard heaven, I hope you noticed how much juggling is done on good stages because it became even more difficult for opponents to land, the short size of the stage also assists Squirtle's burst movement with withdraw and he can more easily disrupt positioning with water gun, it practically covers the whole stage.
Don't go FD or Kalos. You can guess why.
Many combos require platforms, plus they help squirtle and Charizard get inI like FD with Trainer. What is your reasoning against it?
Town and City is not our worst stage but I think other characters can take advantage of the larger layout than Pokemon Trainer can. The platforms can certainly help extend combos and some of the higher platforms make opponents easier targets for aerials. Personally, I never choose this stage because Smashville, Yoshi's Island, or Battlefield tend to give us more advantages.Thoughts on Town and City? Personally, I don't like it because the high ceilings makes killing with Ivy and Zard a lot harder, and the platforms seem to be in an awkward position that aren't too helpful for combos. Its big size also seems to screw up Squirtle's burst gameplay. That's my take on it, would you all agree on that or am I missing something?
Also the slants on the bottom-of-the-ledge on Smashville make spiking with Ivy Dair super easy.The more I play, the more I like Smashville. The size of the stage works well for PT, the platform helps extend combos, and it just feels comfortable in general for all 3. I currently see it as our best stage based off the current normal competitive stage selection. Thoughts?
