  • Typhlosion
    Machoke
    Red Gyarados
    Lugia
    Those four were my team in all Silver games I've played
    And other two... I'm not sure, some Electric and Grass pokemon should be the right choice but I haven't decided yet

  • I can honestly say I dislike all three Johto starters. I just want them because they are Johto starters. I will get each, and bung them over to Platinum before starting with w/e and ditching it as soon as I catch some more guys. I want to build a monotype team. Not Bug, I'm doing that on Platinum. Maybe Grass, in which case I would obviously start with Chikorita. Then a Bellsprout at Sprout Tower, and from there I honestly don't know, because I never played GSC.

    This team might change:

    -Vaporeon (I want one to follow me [lol] and I like Vaporeon)
    -Croconaw
    -Umbreon (I'll try to have a shiny one on my team)
    -Electabuzz (?)
    -Scizor (?)
    -Miltank(?)

    I am really not sure of the last three, but like I said the team might change during gameplay when I actually know what Pokemon I would want on my team.

  • I'm a little torn on this one, honestly. Silver was the first Pokemon game I played, so part of me wants to resurrect my old team, which was:

    Cyndaquil
    Pidgeot
    Mareep
    Wooper
    Dragonair
    Lugia

    Yes, I didn't like evolving my Pokemon back then. But actually, I liked keeping Dragonair from evolving because it didn't have a 4x Ice weakness - no Flying type.

    I'm considering this as my new in-game Soul Silver team:

    Typhlosion
    Pidgeot
    Ampharos
    Lapras/Kingdra
    Umbreon/Scizor
    Lugia

    I haven't used Ubers in an in-game team in a long time, but I'll probably make an exception here out of nostalgia and because Lugia is one of my favorite Pokemon ever.

  • my team would be based on my original team from silver that I had before the internal battery died.

    Meganium
    Lugia
    Skarmory
    Ninetales
    Jolteon
    Pigeot (though seeing as i have 2 other flying types on here already he may be replaced with Tyranitar)

  • So many typhlosions @_@. I did Typhlosion way too many times in gold and silver. Time for something different... CHIKORITA! If I remember correctly that was the "expert" level starter to use back in the day =P.

    Not sure about the actual team though... I always used Graveler to help me up to Ecruteak and Ampharos just because...

  • Yeah, that's why it was considered "expert" starter. It's not even that hard to be Falkner with the chikorita. I'd probably just go and get a geodude (pretty sure I can find one in that area above Ruins of Alph) and train that up to fight for me. If all else fails, there's always spearow/pidgey to train and just overpower Falkner. (thanks sprout tower!) I could even get bellsprout and just trade it for that onyx named rocky.

    Typhlosion
    Sunflora
    Gyarados
    Pikachu
    Ursaring

    That takes care of having a Fire, Water, and Grass type. As for the remaining, Im still choosing between Sudowoodo, Murkrow, Hitmonchan, and Jynx.

    P.S. Im in Japan, and there seems to be some sort of downloadable Jirachi (to HGSS)if you get the POKEMON MELEE game.

  • I was actually thinking about it the other day, I even went through my old G/S guide and drew an outline through it.

    Meganium
    Ampharos
    Dragonite
    Espeon
    Magmortar
    Gliscor
    Gengar
    Scizor
    Lapras

    those are the 9 pokemon I'm planning on using for the first half of the game (Johto). And I'll change my team up every so often. Depending on who I'm wanting to train, etc.
