Abilities » Frenzied Escape
When I use Imakuni?'s Doduo's "Frenzied Escape" Pokemon Power, can I put the card into a top-loader to prevent it from getting damaged when I throw it?
No, that would cause a "marked card" situation and is not allowed. Besides, you could really hurt someone flinging a top-loader like that (shame, shame)!

Abilities » Burning Road
Can I use Arcanine's "Burning Road" Ability any time during my turn, or do I have to use it the moment Arcanine becomes Active?
As soon as Arcanine goes from the Bench to become Active you must choose immediately whether you're going to use Burning Road or not; you cannot delay the action until later in the turn. If you choose not to use Burning Road at that time, you could use it later if Arcanine somehow goes back to the Bench and becomes Active again. Also, if you use an attack like Growlithe's "Hind Kick" and Arcanine becomes Active, you could use Burning Road if you haven't already used it that turn.

Trainers » Exp. Share
If a player with Exp. Share on a benched Pokemon has discarded their Active Pokemon and its attached energy due to KO from an attack and already promoted a new Active Pokemon, have they missed the opportunity to use Exp. Share?
Promoting a new Active Pokemon takes place after the knockout, so at that point it would be too late to use Exp. Share.

Trainers » Bursting Balloon | Abilities » Fright Night | Trainers » Hex Maniac
Say I have an Yveltal with "Fright Night" Ability as my Active Pokemon with Bursting Balloon attached, then I play Hex Maniac. What happens at the end of my opponent's turn, when they attack and do damage to Yveltal?
Hex Maniac works until the end of your opponent's turn. At the end of your opponent's turn, you check to see if Bursting Balloon gets discarded. So Bursting Balloon places the 6 damage counters, Hex Maniac's effect wears off, and then Fright Night is reactivated preventing Bursting Balloon from being discarded.

Trainers » Pokemon Ranger
Pokemon Ranger says "remove all effects of attacks on each player and his or her Pokemon." Does that mean it gets to remove any Poison, Paralyze, etc. effects that were caused by an attack?
No, Pokemon Ranger does not remove any Special Conditions. It removes effects like "the Defending Pokemon cannot retreat", "the opponent cannot play any Item cards from his or her hand", and things like that.
