If you were a Pokemon Trainer...

What 6 Pokemon would you have with you in your Pokemon journey? Without being silly and no legendary ones, and why? Also, who would be your most favourable (like Pikachu with Ash)?

My 6 would be:

Glalie
Ludicolo
Lucario
Musharna
Jumpluff
Chandelure

These would be my 6 because I like to have a variety and a nice amount of uniqueness. Also, I love some of these Pokemon and I would enjoy being with them. In my mind Pokemon have personalities e.g Lucario being brave, Glalie being chill, Ludicolo being a bit of a joker etc.

As for my most loved Pokemon - Glalie. I am a big fan of Glalie and I see him (mine would be a boy) as a Pokemon with a fighting spirit along with a cute side, and I have always been a fan of Ice-types. Also, his size is always quite beneficial because you wouldn't have a Dragonite casually flying next to you as you walk from town to town and you wouldn't fancy a Dragon sitting on your shoulder. Another plus side is that he would cool me down when it's hot and when it's cold he can make me...even colder.

Why no legendaries though? :P

Well alright, I can see why the big ones would be messed up. But say you could include a single of the lesser ones, in other words, at most 600 TBS (which is the strength of Tyranitar etc aynway), not event-only, and not important in a plot(Mesprit..). Those that are barely legendary ie Articuno, Regirock, Heatran, Tornadus...

of course these are still some of the rarest ever, so you'd have to really devote yourself to find just one, meaning you wouldn't have more than one on the team.


Anyways, thats the rules Ill play with :P

This is really tough for someone like me though. Because there is basically no pokemon I dislike and Ive paid enough attention to each one at some time for me to like them all in at least some way. Like, I'd really really wanna fit Galvantula somewhere but Id have to ditch Ampharos which I just cannot do D:
Same for Torterra, Scolipede and so on... if there was room for a legendary, it'd be either Raikou or Heatran.




I think these are my biggest favs. I wold want so many other ones in there, but they don't beat the one thats holding their spot...
I got a pretty awesome and nice diverse combination of types there :D
If the team should have a good coverage, Id replace Gardevoir with Gallade, but Gardevoir is so lonely now when everyone uses him over it...

But for a team of simply favs, its as good as it gets :B

Notice how I didnt pick a legendary anyway XD... its just what Id have included if I made the thread.

My team would consist of Gallade, Lucario, Porygon-Z, Archeops, Excadrill and Empoleon. It may be chock-full of common weaknesses, but those 6 are 6 of my personal favorites.

Oh goodness. I'd be lying if I said I'd never thought about this before.

Imma have to go with:
Metagross (Hands down my favourite Pokemon. Why it's not everyone's is beyond me >.>)
Gardevoir (Seems like Gardy would be handy if I ever felt down. Plus I just like 'em.)
Eevee (I love potential. Eevee is fluffy potential -w- )
Aggron (The steel type is the best type ^_^ If you can't tell, I'm a Hoenn sucker too.)
Togekiss (It's fluffy. It can fly. It spreads happiness. <3 Togekiss)
Swampert (It swims. It used to be Mudkip. It's got cool fin...things. I like him. I named my first "Kipper" -w- Heavy Nigel Thornberry influence there. But that was eons ago when R/S was released.)

EDIT: No worries PlatinumDude. In the Anime/Manga we see a LOT of mono-typing. *coughEVERYGYMcough* >.> My selections aren't exactly bullet-proof either. If Swampert were to go down, I'd be screwed by a fire-type, and I can't set up Stealth Rock with this team. The only real similarity between this team and my competitive one is the use of Metagross. If Pokemon were real (give it time) I'd be that mono-typer. Steel, baby, steel. Steven Stone has nothing on me...except fame, fortune, awesome rock collection, travel experience, wisdom, and a snazzy outfit.

I know that if I were really a Pokemon trainer, I would battle moreso with my favorites rather than worrying too much about weakness/resistance (although I'd stll try to keep a somewhat balanced team).

If I were to choose right now, my team would be:
Butterfree, Ninetales, Aggron, Empoleon, Froslass and Eevee (which I would eventually evolve into either an Umbreon or Espeon).

I'd have to say my own team would be Honchkrow, Flareon, Golem, Serperior, maybe Lapras, and a Miltank would be helpful because we'd never be thirsty 8D

Honestly though, this is a tough decision. There are so many favorites.

I'd have...

A Gengar. Simply the best pokemon ever, if you know how to troll right.

Ninetails. Ninetails is one of my favorite fire pokemon. She just looks awesome. Also because momtails.

Gardevoir. A good psychic type, and I like her design.

Luxray. Possibly the coolest D/P pokemon, and my favorite 4th genner.

Eevee/Umbreon. Another one of my favorites. This would be my fav.

Lastly, I'd have a Salamence. It's always good to have a powerhouse and flyer on the team.

I would have...

Pidgeot/Atricuno
Nidoqueen
Lapras
Ninetales
Meganium

and my special partner would be Jolteon.

I agree with everyone saying this is hard to narrow down cause it really is lol :)

Ninetales - (would be my top partner, it's just so elegant)
Vaporeon - (everything about it intrigues me, like the way it melts into water)
Venomoth - (it's pretty yet deadly which is an awesome combo haha)
Swellow - (my all time favourite bird and I'd use it to Fly)
Manectric - (my favourite electric pokémon)
Hitmonlee - (I do Taekwondo so it could train in all the kicks with me haha)

My team would consist of Cyndaquil, Delcatty, Gallade, Staraptor, Zoroark and...




...the Pokemon that I would favor would be Beedrill. I love Beedrill. I don't care if he's crap in game, its BEEDRILL.

Now everybody knows that certain Pokemon may suck in game but it's a different game when it comes to (real life) "Pokemon will never be real I'm just trying to make a point."
Plasmette is correct, Beedrill may suck in game but if trained right it could be a beast. Now my pokemon would be.
Umbreon, Flygon, Swampert, Raichu, Shiftry, and Typhlosion.

Meh, I'd stay in school and live near home.

I'd have

A Charmeleon as my partner Pokemon, most likely named Reddin.


A Tranpinch (Since I'll probably find one since I live in the desert) named Snippy.


Mr. Fish my Magikarp, since I'd be lazy.


And a Gible, since it's also typically a Pokemon that hangs around deserts or desert like areas.

As for my Pokemon if I go out on a journey? Well, I don't know...
You can say that you want something, but if Pokemon were real, you'd have to follow the real world rules, and in the real world, you never know what might happen, but I'd definitely be with Reddin.

However, this is the team that I'd most likely have by the end of my journey:


Reddin won't be a Charmeleon forever.


I'd definitely keep the Gible.


Tons of cattle around my area, I'm bound to eventually run into a Tauros that escaped and has gone feral.


It'll take dedication, but I'd work hard to get a Gyarados!


Hmm.. I keep getting the feeling that I'd find a Shinx somewhere..


(Or Nidoqueen)
I also keep getting the feeling that I'd find a Nidoran somewhere around as well.

As for the Trapinch, I'd probably keep it home.
This is based on enviroment around my area. I live in the desert, but not too far off there are mountains with plenty of caves for Gibles, forests for Shinx and Nidoran, and ranches for possible feral Tauros.
