The Old Standbys or a Brand-Spanking-New Team?

[Pezz]

With the impending release of the R/G remakes, this thread is to discuss whether you'll train a team of Pokemon that you've enver trained before, or your favorite team from the old days? This was inspired by a topic at some other forum, I forget which one though -.-;;

I'm definately gonna train my old Red team. *gets nostalgic*

In case anyone was wondering, it was...

Venusaur
Butterfree
Nidoking
Raichu
Starmie
Arcanine

Gosh, I used to love those guys XD.

[Kairi]

Mewtwo.


You lose. Unless you have Mewtwo. Then I win if mine has Amnesia. Your does too? I guess we'll have to see who freezes who first with Ice Beam.

Seriously, that's a lot of what it comes down to. As for what I'll raise in-game... I had every Pokémon trained to 100 by having them in my team at one point. Well, all the fully evolved ones. I played thousands of hours of RBY, with countless new games and dozens of level 100 teams with no candies.

[Frostweaver]

i actually started to play pokemon games only at the metallic generation... hmm but i'm sure that i'll be using Chansey! I heard that it has some insane special stats (special is still one stat back then)... so throw in double team and softboil... and you got a happy easter egg that is actually very very evil.

[Kairi]

Although you started with GSC, did you ever go back and play some RBY?

Ever played any online RBY?

[Frostweaver]

no and no... but i do have some basic knowledge about it. Don't bother teaching me the online RBY as you're just wasting your effort. Better to spent those effort in your "hw" (or should i say "home school work"?) or hop over to the internet and find the Lufia 2 rom immediately (great great RPG game that i'll really suggest RPG lover to play)

[Kairi]

I guess I should check that out.

The Red/Blue/Yellow metagame was a mess. Only around thirty-two usable Pokémon, an unbeatable type, etc...


I do love the fact that Slash and Razor Leaf are almost always a critical hit, it makes Slash effectivly have 140 power, and Razor Leaf 110.

When I was little, I though Quick Attack was more powerful than Slash because when I did three Swords Dances, and then did them both Quick Attack did more due the negation of stat upers during a critical hit.

[Jason]

Hmm My team will be:
Charizard, Dragonite, Butterfree, Scyther, Venomoth & Beedrill. Love dragons and bugs.

[Fire Master]

My team will be
In their last form
Charzard
Articuno
Zapdos
Mewtwo
Dragonite

I only need 5 pokemon in my team.

[Dragon Girl]

Hmm, probably I'll use a new team, but I do love my Red team. It is:
Mew
Mewtwo
Charizard
Blastoise
Zapdos
Snorlax.
I'm still trying to get a Venusaur to replace Snorlax, but that has yet to happen. Defintely gonna want more dragons this time around though.

[Q Man]

I'll become a Nido* trainer ^_^ My Lv 100 Nidoking was unbeatable, even against a good few Lv 100 Psychic types (Thrash is such a powerful physical move, combined with the fact that it can learn Fire Blast, Bubblebeam, AND Thunder as well)

[tmbjr]

I don't remember what exactly my old Blue team was, but I think it was:
Blastoise
Raichu
Charizard
Venusaur
Mewtwo
Dragonite
(I traded alot back then^^)
but I know for sure I'll be using something like:
Blastoise
Ninetales
Victreebel (it may actually be good this time around)
Alakazam (back in the old days, I never thought this was even powerful)
Gengar (maybe I can effectively counter Psychics with this...if shadow ball is in the game)
Dodrio (without Skarmory, this goes back to its formor glory)

[Frostweaver]

but it'll probably has the new moves too like Will o wisp will still be there for Vulpix for example... it won't be an EXACT remake... so the old "unbeatables" on your old RBY team may not be so unbeatable anymore...

btw, if you have a Mewtwo in your old RBY team, you only need it as your only Pokemon on your team. It beats anyone anytime except for another Mewtwo... then you just see who amnesia-ed more (as special is "one stats") and who can cause status on each other first (like freeze or burn... etc).

[Kairi]

Actually, Chansey does okay if it can freeze it soon enough, and if it ca, Parasect can come out, use Swords Dance, and Leech Life it to KO. =3

[Demotruk]

Funny, Mewtwo wasn't nearly as "unbeatable" when I traded him into silver. And now three other Pokemon have base stats on his level. Oh, and I will make a new party, since I never played the originals fully through

[Jirachi]

Yes, you could trade R/S Pokemon to Fire Red &
Leaf Green. You should add some R/S Pokemon in your Teams. It is true!

[Sturm]

My team is going to be...(I hope there will be a steel and dark type also item like metal coat to get steelix and scizor)
Charizard
Umbreon
Magneton
Scizor
Steelix
Dragonite

If not:
Charizard
Magneton
Gyarados
Dragonite
Jolteon
Tangela

[Jirachi]

Hello, you can TRADE R/S POKEMON TO THESE GAMES!

[Kairi]

Hello, you can TRADE R/S POKEMON TO THESE GAMES!

We don't know that for 100% sure. Trading may only be upstream from FR/LG not downstream.

[Dragonair]

I Think Ill Use:
Raichu
Ninetails
Starmie
Alakazam
Mewtwo/Or Mew
Gengar
I Used This Team Before And It Was A Great Team So Ill Probobly Use It Agian

[Arore]

My team would be: Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Arcanine, Nidoking, and Gyarados I suppose. I use all kinds, so I can't really say.

[Dranxis]

I'm not too much of a fan for legendary Pokemon: the birds are too vulnerable to numerous types, and Mewtwo/Mew are simply too overly-powered for my tastes. My previous team on Red was Charizard, Sandslash, Clefable, Tentacruel, Raichu, and Hypno (no Alakazam: feeble defense :P). I will probably train a new team, for the fun of move-set selection and Pokemon picking.

[Xilion_Sword90]

My Red Team was:Arbok, Charizard, Cloyster, Scyther, Jolteon and Tauros

My Cristal team will be (and is):Dragonite, Typlosion, Tyrannitar, Scizor, Kingdra and Blissey

Using Legedairys is soooooooooooooo lame (my opinion)

[zapdos]

I'll be training my old team...

Articuno
Zapdos
Moltres
Lapras
Snorlax
Exeggcute

After that I'll be doing an all electric team...

Zapdos
Jolteon
Raichu
Electabuzz
Electrode

[Shinin]

no, u can trade between FR/LG and R/S and Colosseum. It was in Nintendo Power.

my good ol' team
Charizard
Farfetch'd
Hitmonchan
Articuno
Raichu
Dewgong
my new team will be
Charizard
Pidgeot
Primeape
Jynx
Electabuzz
Starmie
