Holy cow, Exeggutor and Shuckle- for that alone you have my respect.
I'm not one for the competitive battling either, but I feel that if people want to do it, that's their choice. I've never had the time for all that specific breeding and training. |

It's good to see people who still use Pokemon they like over ones that are simply high tiered. Although I do care about the tiers, many of the Pokemon I use are Underused ones and are Pokemon that I have selected simply because I like their physical appearance and playstyles.
You can't really blame anyone for using the tiers because it is quite simply fact that some Pokemon are obviously far stronger than others. |
You have my respect wobbuffet
Now, on account of tiers and EV training, some people are really competitive, and always want to do their best to win, if this means bypassing 10 shinies while soft resetting for a pokemon for good IV's, or breeding for days on end for the best movesets and IV's and EVing for a couple of hours, so be it, they simply want to win, although i have to admit some people get way to drawn into and go way too far, im not one of those people, anyways, it is a game and you should play it the way you want too :) |
My team is: Pichu, Pichu, Pichu, Pichu, Pichu, Pichu and Pichu.
Yeah, I know they're 7. Heck with the rules. That's the way I like it. D: |
i only EV train and such underused poke's
over used, i usually raise to like level 53, and kick em out the door. (in this case, release them) |
I agree =D using favorite pokemon instead of "I will use pokemon that are only worth it!!!"
I don't EV train either, just kill w/e for EXP xD |

However... pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease do not accuse other people of being jerks. Just because we like to strategize and breed and stuff does not mean we're going to flame you. It really kind of hurts me that you just assume that we're so bigoted or even that we mind your battling style. It's actually quite judgmental. -.- ~All the best, Lilbittygoat |
I respect you for this Wobbuffet, using an underdog team is something I always love to do. My team that I use, I know I could make really strong if pokemon were real and could be a strong party. With your party, with the bond you'd have with them and training after a while, of course their levels will be high and they could shock people. It is hard to in the games though on wifi/ competitive battling which is why you have earned my respect. I use a party of underdogs also, which I know I had in real life, I would be able to surprise people after I get them stronger
Weezing Flareon Pidgeot Starmie Butterfree Chikorita/Victreebel Now, there are some strong points, but it's not what you'd consdier a "powerfull" team. But those are my favorites and I'd choose them any day no matter what. |

*shrugs* Iv'e used the same battling team since Silver and Gold Version came out, My team is kinda over used but they are my favorites and they work well together
|
The only reason why i dont EV train is because im very lazy
If people want to battle competitively, then let them If people want to battle with their favorites , then let them Both are fun to different people, so relax aye What ever happened to each to their own? Peace Love and Unity? and all that crap |
I... just use whatever sounds good at the moment. xD I'm not into EV training, competitive battling, etc. because, quite honestly, I'm too lazy. ಠ____ಠ
BUT. The games themselves have taken a more complex route, so it gives way to choosing how you train. I like this route the games have taken. Uh, but I admire both you for using an "underdog' team and the people that use strategy and competitive battle. As long as you're happy with your own team, I find that admirable itself. |
I enjoy that Pokemon can be a technical game with all of the stats and categories that are slowly coming out but...what I like about Pokemon is that...I can catch and train and attach myself to any of them and use them as my partner. I don't like thinking that I need a certain type of Pokemon to be able to compete in certain matches. That's not what Pokemon and battling is for me. Pokebattling is just taking your favorite most cherished Pokemon and training them to the best of your ability: ev/ivs and stats be damned.

I think the tiers are only good for keeping out crazy ubers that sweep your team. I don't like the rest of the tiers how some times it looks like they just feel like putting a pokemon were ever; like blazikin is a uu right now and infernape is an ou. I know it's based on use but that is the problem if there is going to be a tier system it should be based on power. I just made an ou team and I only used like 2 ous. I used blazikin insted of infernape even though the tiers say infernape is better when it's really not.
|
I agree with the "I like this pokemon, I'm gonna use 'em". I have a blastoise on my team, every time I say that people ask "What's it for?"....For battling, duh. And the team seems good. In competitive battling people may think you have something else and tr to guess what you'll do. Then you can confuse them a possiby beat them.

I too am not into breeding and the other complicated mechanics of the game but I do EV train the ones I like just to make them stronger. I use the pokemon which I like and you too are telling that one should use a pokemon one likes. I know that what I am about to say applies to very few but still: What if the players that you played liked to use blissey and not for being strong competitively? Tiers and EVs, IVs are discovered by us and not declared by nintendo and they just add a little challenge and a little depth to the gameplay as said by others. BTW: I N-E-V-E-R care for IVs! They are really something that are really COMPLICATED FOR ME!!!
(Offtopic)I am sending you a FR just for how you said what you wanted to say corageously!(Of course its upto you to accept my FR!) |

I completely agree 100% with everything. IN MY OPINION teams should be all for fun. not just complete stradegy(sp?). I think people should have more funn and not take it soooooo seriously.
|
i dont care for special training and breeding, nor do i "get it". and im lazy /hit
i just think you should use the pokemon you like for battling! if your favorite pokemon is magikarp then go ahead, use him if you like overused and/or ubers like, garchomp, or mewtwo, use him if you like to battle with iv, ev, tiers, extra special egg move and stat breeded poke's by all means do it! go on and have fun, thats what pokemon is, fun~ |
I think that one should use a pokemon one loves and has fun battling with it. If one likes using strategies then one can use them as they may find fun in it(dunno how they can find fun in strategy but still!).
