Hey have you ever done a Pokemon game without using your starter Pokemon (obviously at the beginning of the game you have too but after that)? I'm thinking of doing that and my starter would actually be Starly lol and I'd plan to have my team like this:
Staraptor
Roserade
Floatzel
Rapidash
Alakazam
Toxicroak
