Hi Scott,

 I swear I saw this on Pojo months ago but now I can't find it - rules on
retreating.
Can you retreat your Active if you have 5 benched?  I assume:  No, because
you'd momentarily have 6 benched Pokes until you promoted one.
Can you use a Switch trainer if you have 5 benched?  I assume Yes, Switch is
instantaneous.

Incorrect.  The process of retreat & promote is considered as instantaneous as switch.  If your logic was correct, then the same instant you have 6 on your bench, you have no active.  If you have no active, you lose.  See the problem? :)
