Would you train any Pokemon or would you only use your favourites?

Now, that's something, something... something!
Let's see... back in the days I would've probably based my teams off preferences,
but the precerences started fading as time has flown by.
As for a core-game team, I'd probably struggle deciding which members to choose
(the problem doesn't manifest in Mystery Dungeon, Ranger and "snag" titles : the
teams sorta come up by themselves).

If the pokéworld was a reality(or I was making a fan-game character's team) my
choices would either revolve around symbolisms, references or random occurrences
(Ashy got many of his fellows that way, for instance the charmander he and Brock
saved or the abandoned squirtle who formed a gang).

Of course, whether it was reality or fiction, I still wouldn't bother with competitiveness,
you'll find me on showdown with the JJM TRio, Wigglytuff's guild or the Go-Rock Quads,
pasting mottos onto the faces of onix-pecting opposers (and proposing fitting soundtracks, this one for instance).

I wouldn't say my favorites because I can do some exception and later learn to like the Pokemon more, but I don't care if it's the best Pokemon in the world, if I don't like it, won't use it.

I definitely go for power over design - I prefer not to use weak Pokemon on my team, even if they are cute. But to be honest, there are very few Pokemon that I can say that I "dislike" - I usually end up loving every Pokemon I train. <3

I pick design over stats. Unless they're really, really bad of course! I do make multiple teams that are balanced though.

I'd train every Pokèmon except if I really dislike it, of course, my favorites are a bit more welcomed. :>
