3rd Gen How long did it take for a full team?

The amount of time it takes me to make a full team varies on what style of training I'm using for that run. In one style, I usually wait till around the Pokemon league to catch a 5th and 6th Pokemon for the team because by then I can usually catch a strong enough Pokemon somewhere in the wild.

In LeafGreen, my team is not settled until I have captured Articuno with my lovely master ball, so I do complete all 8 gyms with five or less Pokemon in my party.

I would say not long before the first gym. If I ever needed to make changes to the team as I progress, I would.

I guess I have two teams, one I use to defeat the gym's like mankey whose low kick stomps Brock's Onix, and Pikachu for Misty, but my FR/LG competition team which will be very similar to my competition team from Yellow. It takes time to acquire and raise pokemon like Dragonite & Tyranitar in addition to breeding a Snorlax with Curse and a Chansey with Heal Bell, about the Chansey if anyone else is playing FR/LG on VBA has one for trade I'll trade what I can in return, thanks.

I get My Full team Before the Elite Four and I remember my team here's the list:

- Venusaur (Starter)
- Blastoise (Trade)
- Charizard (Trade)
- Mewtwo (Event)
- Ho-oh (Cheat)
- Vaporeon (the Free Eevee then I used Water Stone)

It varies. Usually, I first plan my team before I start to play. So since I typically have a different team each time I play, it changes from when I have my full team.

I get a full party after the 7th-8th badge.

I usually have a full team by the time I reach Celadon. I plan my teams ahead, so I know what to get, and when to get it. Sometimes, though, when a Pokemon underperforms, I replace it when I find a good replacement. My last play of FireRed ended up with Golem, Aerodactyl, Exeggutor, Dragonair, Scyther, and Arcanine.

Probably after my 3rd or 4th gym.

Probably when I get the 5th or 6th gym leader.
I am very picky when it comes to my current gen team.

I didn't complete my team in FR last time I played until I was at the 7th gym. I decided to fish for a Shellder and make it my final addition.

In Red I always started with bulbasaur. When I got my pokeballs I caught a pidgey and as soon as i could also a geodude then i changed nothing at my team until i finished the game.
In other games I get my full team before the 5th gym.

Always start with the fire type Charmander

Went to route 1 and immediately caught Pidgey

I had to gameboys and 2 pokemon fr so i sent myself Squirtle and Bulbasaur

Went to Viridian Forest and caught Pikachu

Got Pokeflute and swapped Pigeot out for Snorlax

Swapped Venusaur out for Gengar

My team was complete when I got Lapras from Silph Co.

Right till the elite four.
I caught my Growlithe, and trained and trained im to a Arcanine before the elite four.
Loved what i got for the wait ^^
