Have you ever had a Pokemon on your team just for its looks?

[.Another]

On my current playthrough of Diamond, I have a random Steelix. I'll admit, it's proved useful, but I only have it because of its looks.

All the time... If it looks ugly upon evolution I will not evolve the party one. I'll stick another one in the daycare, until it evolves, and keep it for pokedex reasons.

I like my Shuckle, even if it doesn't evolve I like how he looks. He's like the Bro of pokemon. I also plan on leveling Litwick without evolution. One of the only 5th gen pokemon I like.

A good trainer is more interested in. Low power was a very interesting and hard work have a strong team.

I think Gyarados and Steelix and interesting, but will never be subject to my team.

I do it quite a lot. XD Nearly in every playthrough, half of the Pokemon are more 'serious battlers' (in Emerald I had a Salamence, in Black I had a Hydreigon... you get the idea) and the rest are Pokemon I just like. I always pick Blaziken because I like it. I chose Jellicent almost immediatey in Black because it is so epic... it's quite a good fighter too. :) Luckily, the Pokemon I like are normally quite good battlers too. :)

I didn't really enjoy using Espeon in Platinum though, yet I love its design. :\ I'm trying to find a way to use it in another playthrough though, just to see if iI can use it more strategically (I didn't use it amazingly when I used it in Paltinum). :) Also, speaking of Platinum, Empoleon is another Pokemon I used mainly for looks, and it didn't perform as good as I'd of hoped.

I don't especially like Pokémon for the way they look. For example, I think Swampert is ugly, but I love it nevertheless.
But I have to admit that sometimes I choose them for the design. Gardevoir isn't the strongest Pokémon, but I need it in my RSE team, it's so graceful and I like the idea to have it in my "official team". And I also chose Oshawott as my BW starter because I didn't like the design of the two others.

Lickitung, I really dislike Lickilicki's design

I had a Mawile with me for most of the time during my Pokemon Ruby days. It looked fantastic :D

 

[Katniss Everdeen]

One Pokémon that I had on one of my teams that was only because of its look was a shiny Jumpluff. It was so darn cute. :D

 

[Musica]

Wailord. I love how the size comparison makes your character look like a plankton.

 

[Ho-Oh]

In my recent Black playthrough, I've kept Herdier in my team purely because it looks better than Stoutland (and that I wanted a high level Herdier but that's irrelevant) and I know in the past I've used the best looking bird Pokemon as my main Pokemon simply because they look awesome, lol.

 

[Blade_of_darkness]

The only thing that I care about are a Pokémon's stats & move-set. If both of those are at least within acceptable limits, it will see some use from me.

I don't care about how it looks, period.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Eelektross is one fugly mo'fo and has had pride of place on my team. Indeed, looks would be the last thing I'd consider when choosing critters to go on a team at any one time. 'Cute' Pokemon really do nothing for me, to be honest.

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

Oh I see what you mean haha :) I do the same with not letting my Kadabra evolve for that reason :)

 

[Absol]

when I first started playing pokemon I always chose a pokemon on how it looked. Now though I pick for their strengths and weakness in battle. Occasionally I still chose a pokemon for how it looks. :)

 

[Eclispe]

Rather than just get a Pokemon for how good it is, have you ever put one in your party or kept it from evolving just for its looks?

I have, I never evolve my Haunter due to the way it looks and I have also had a Pichu.

Yes I kept my Axel from evolving for awhile because of the way it looked but in the end gave in caught another and evolved it.

 

[devilicious]

'have you ever'? I basically play the game like that! if it's not cute it has not place in my team though my definition of cute is not always the same lol

what I mean is that I only pick things for their power/utility when battling competitively; when I'm playing the rpg I couldn't care less if it's a good strong species or not

 

[Sheep]

Yes, all the time. However, I will usually not use it if it has stats so low I'd barely be able to scrape by in battles... so looks aside, stats do factor into what I choose as well, though they're not as major. I personally don't see the point in training something that I think isn't visually appealing - that's why we have so many species to choose from.

 

[Giraffe]

Skitty, because of it's irresistible cuteness!

 

[Mechanic]

Lilligant... It's an awesome pokemon with awesome looks and awesome attacks what else do you expect? lol
