What do you base your team on?

[curiousnathan]

My Teams usually composed upon 2 major components.

- Type: I usually like to have different types, especially the primary ones such as Fire, Grass, Water and Flying. I would often add either a ground, electric or Ghost to the rest of the team.

- Appearance: I really choose how the pokemon is going to look a an individual then how it looks as a team. I am strangely picky about this, and honestly, not sure why. XD;

 

[Cresselia*]

I love to have cute lookin' pokemon on my team, and I really dislike it when I have two of the same type on my team.. ;_:

 

[ChainedTeapot]

Grass, water, flier I always like to have those 3 types, rest normally don't matter as much.

 

[~Akiko]

My team is really just what I find cute or just fun to use. :)
I try to play competitively with it but I haven't had much luck yet. I just need to keep reworking things around. ^^

 

[Super-Mudkipz]

I like to have a variety of types but I want Pokemon that can counter their weaknesses.

 

[El Diabeetus]

Just whatever Pokémon interest me. I also try and avoid having the same type twice and if I do it's because of dual-typing.

 

[smurf]

my team is based on power and power alone

 

[mikey]

Basically, I just create teams filled with pokemon I like. I don't balance out with types or anything, only with pokemon I like and will actually use.

 

[竜の子]

I base them on design or need

Design cuzI don't see looks I see if it looks kawaii/kewl

 

[JALEEMEE]

I try to use pokemon that nobody uses, but are still good

Same, very picky on the ones EVERYONE uses. Also, I like to have a team that is capable of 2x every single type. So I look for double type pokemon and stuff

 

[Sydian]

Random things I feel like raising into an awesome team. Usually try to use Pokemon I've never used before, or haven't used in a long time.

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

I don't base my team on anything tbh. :3 But I like having a variety of types in my team.

 

[JimJams]

Whatever I feel like. I typically train the ones that I favor design-wise, but I try to keep the team balanced and made up mostly of dual-types.

 

[qw13]

I take Blue's HGSS team, take his Pokemon types, add Electric and Ghost. Then i select my 6 Pokemon. My Pokemons must have that types.

 

[poopydude]

When it comes to making a team i usually try to stick to first and 2nd generation Pokemon. Just because I prefer those over the other Generations.

 

[ElectricScyther]

I pick the ones I like best, but I never overlap types unless one can count as a second type. For example, I used both Musharna and Swoobat in Black, but since Swoobat is part Flying, I was able to use it for that.

 

[Qin]

Pokemon with a High Defense or Special Defense, and then some sort of recovery move. You can't win a battle if your enemy will not fall!

 

[Blue Nocturne]

POWER!!!

But no. I like to cover all bases with my team, this means lots of dual-types and Pokemon capable of learning a variety of moves of different types. I tend to favor Pokemon that I like the design of or have amazing attack stats... It's amazing how frequently the two overlap!

 

[Spikey-Eared Pichu]

Team set-up for every play-through:

-Starter (Water, Fire, or Grass)
-Starter-type not covered by Starter, preferably dual-type
-Starter-type not covered by Starter, preferably dual-type
-Electric-type (If appearance is appealing)/Flying-Type (Dual-type that isn't Water, Grass, or Fire)
-Psychic-Type
-Dark-Type/Ghost-Type/Fighting-Type
-Pokemon that appeals to me most that is a type not covered by the above.

Just whatever Pokémon interest me. I also try and avoid having the same type twice and if I do it's because of dual-typing.

Same here. As well as just using pokemon I haven't used before in a playthrough.
