Questions

1.This is the only trainer class in GSC that occupies two tiles in the overworld.
2.There is a pair of Twins in RSE/ORAS where one twin shares her name with an individual twin from GSC/HGSS and the other twin shares her name with an individual twin from DP. On the route they inhabit in Hoenn, what is the name of the other trainer that can be called for a rematch? (Don't put the trainer class).
3.When battling this pair of trainers in Gen 3, their names appear in a certain order, along with a grammatical mistake in their trainer class. When battling them in ORAS, the order of their names is reversed and the mistake is fixed. (Don't include trainer class or "and," answer in the order they appear in ORAS.)
4.Between the two of them, Tate and Liza only use one Gen IV Pokemon in the Hoenn Leaders Tournament. There is also only one other Gen IV Pokemon in that tournament that doesn't hold a berry. Name both Pokemon. (Answer with Tate/Liza's Pokemon, other Pokemon.)
5.Speaking of Miguel (remember him? the PokeFan from question 2? of course you do!), there's another Miguel in a different main series game who has the same fully evolved Pokemon as the Hoenn Miguel. He has one other Pokemon. What is it?
6. Btw, guys, there's another Miguel in an entirely different game whose two Pokemon are x4 weak to Eelektrik's STAB. What's his trainer class?
7.There was another Pokemon that was part of a previous answer, one of whose STABs is x4 super effective against Fisherman Miguel's two Pokemon. What was that Pokemon again, the one with the x4 super effective STAB?
8.Yeah, that one! Cool. In a feature-length Pokemon movie, Magnezone gets blasted out the window of a train by a sequence of these three attacks. (List in alpha order.)
9.Lastly, these are the only twins in a main series game where Bubblebeam, Energy Ball, and Thunderbolt each hit at least one member of their team for super effective damage. (Answer with the names in the order they appear, ommit "Twins," e.g. "amy liv")

2. Miguel
3. Liza Tate
4. Gallade Magnezone
