in the end, you must decide. tank or dragon. classic or (somewhat) new-age. defence or offense. or personal preference. often times ppl battle with their favorites, or just because they are cute.. then others base their team purely on power or strategy. there has to be a balance. all things considered, both are very good. but, as earlier mentioned, i am a dragon tamer. check for feraligatr. design goes to blastoise. strategy and power? in my team schemes, both fit nicely. its a close race, but feraligatr comes out on top. i do think out of all of the evos, wartortle is best designed. but that isnt enough to sway me. tododile wins it for me, but i see how you could go the other way as well.
