When did you get your second Pokemon you actually kept?(B&W)
 
Honestly I don't think the wild Pokemon you run into/given to you are worth keeping in your party.

I have Pokemon White and I started with Oshawott and none of the Pokemon up until Route 4 (The route after Castelia) were worth keeping. Right now I only have a Dewott and a Darumaka, with my Watchog HMmule. I'm just curious as to everyone else's thoughts about this.
I'm not one who catches a Pokemon that I level up and don't keep in my party for good unless its for the Elite Four and I need a change.

What does everyone else think?

Oryx March 18th, 2011 12:33 PM

I kept Simisage up until the Elite Four and then switched it out. I think Tympole was my first one that I added to my party, then Blitzle, then Cubchoo, then Rufflet.

JooJoobs March 18th, 2011 12:42 PM

I was thinking about getting Blitzle but I've seen/heard that Galvantula or Elektross were better depending on the way your team is built.
I tried lvling a Tympole when I had Tepig as my starter but he just seemed so weak.

Christopher March 18th, 2011 12:44 PM

Mine would be route 4. It is where I caught my Darumaka and my Sandile both of which I kept through the E4 . I had a pansear but he was sucking it up so I dumped him.

Heart Gold March 18th, 2011 12:46 PM

My second was Panpour which is a Lv24 Simipour now, but it still sucks and I'm going to replace it ASAP with the Water tortoise fossil Pokemon.

So I guess my second was Drilbur.

-weeper March 18th, 2011 12:46 PM

Well, besides Tepig (my starter), the first that I actually continued using up until the end (not including my Blitzle/Zebstrika cause towards the later half of the game, I used him more as a revive slave) would have been Drilbur/Excadrill.

Air Pichu March 18th, 2011 1:02 PM

I caught a Deerling, tinking it was going to be awesome, but it wasn't, so I abandoned it. The next thing I had was an Unfezant, and it kept failing me in battle. Darmanitan was awesome, but I replaced it with a Chandelure since Candelure is , in opinion, better. The other one was Stoutland, which got replaced by Mienfoo, but Stoutland is really good! I replaced Unfezant with Haxorus and Sawsbuck with Elektross.

I think some Pokemon are definitely worth keeping for a while, but if something better comes up and you really want it on your team, I'd replace it.

La Foudre March 18th, 2011 1:04 PM

I caught a Purrloin and I kept it cause I thought it looked cool and I like dark pokemon.. I kind of regret it, Liepard kind of sucks.

Nakuzami March 18th, 2011 1:08 PM

I caught a Lillipup on Route 1, but took him out of my party around the 3rd/4th gym. The next pokemon I got that I kept was my Panpour, Monagua. I kept him until after I beat the E4, so he's now a Lv47 Panpour (I hate, hate, HATE the monkey trios' evolutions, so I don't plan on evolving any of them.)

Yeah I'm tempted by Eelecktross a lot, but I just love Zebstrika's design so much more, haha.

G0D M0DE March 18th, 2011 1:19 PM

My 2nd?
Hm.

Well, the only one that I kept up til the E4 was either my Sandile which eventually evolved into Krookodile or my Yamask which eventually evoled into Cofagrigus.

They both had helpful natures & characteristics so I didn't want to get rid of them hahah.

Espeon96 March 18th, 2011 2:08 PM

Tympole, outside Pinwheel Forest. I only used it over Carracosta because I didn't want to have to wait so long for a second Pokémon (which would have been Sandile)

Waffle-San March 18th, 2011 3:54 PM

Um hmm. Well I used Samuwott up until after the Elite 4/N before I replaced it with Terrakion. My second Pokemon I kept was the Fire Monkey but I abandoned it at level 45 (so the 6th Gym for me) so I could start training an Axew.

So I guess the first and second Pokemon that I caught which are still currently in my party would have to be Scraggy and Sigilyph.

Woobat March 18th, 2011 4:28 PM

I caught a Drilbur in Wellspring cave that is now an Excadrill. I used it for the first Elite Four and the ramatches.

CarameLeaf March 18th, 2011 4:39 PM

When I ran into my Petitlil in the wild. It's now an HP-sucking Liligant! :D

Eurydice March 18th, 2011 4:47 PM

i caught lillipup on route 1 and it is still in my team even after the battle with N and is now preparing to fight ghetsis

Gulpin March 18th, 2011 6:16 PM

The first Pokemon I kept after Oshawott was my lovley Woobat, who is part of my final team <3 I had a tough decision between Woobat and Solosis, but by choosing Woobat I could have a six-party team instead of my usual five-party team.

Barn March 18th, 2011 6:24 PM

For Black, it was my Purrloin. Biggest mistake of any of my Pokémon games. Liepard has horrible movepool (or at least with attacks it can, well, actually learn before the E4) and does NOT pull its own weight... ended up replacing with Reshiram. :/

For White, it was the Deino & Mienfoo that I bred and transferred over. =P

I love my Liligant! :D I still have it in my team - one of the best in there.

Anyways, getting back on track... ^^;

My 2nd pokemon originally was patrat, but i took him out after the 2nd gym because i needed more benefiting types T_T (normal types dont get enough credit imo) but Blitzle is still with me (had him in my team since I caught him). Although I'm thinking of switching him out for another pokemon - havent beaten the game yet, so I haven't established my true team D:

King Gumball March 25th, 2011 4:29 AM

Well my second poke was Panpour, but the second pokemon I kept was a Munna, now Musharna.

Red Scizor March 25th, 2011 4:59 AM

Sigilyph<3

Caught and kept him as soon as I had acces to the desert resort.

Flegmon Van Lahmus March 25th, 2011 5:22 AM

The second Pokemon I kept was a Roggenrola, now a Gigalith. I kept him cause I love the design, and he has always came through for me. Steam rolled three gyms by himself.

ElectricScyther March 25th, 2011 5:23 AM

I have about ten Pokemon in rotation for my party, because there are too many awesome ones in Gen. V. The first one of these (after Snivy) was Simipour, which I received at the Dreamyard, and a Munna shortly followed. The Simipour is currently my primary water type and surfer, despite being about five levels lower than the rest of my team.

Volroc March 25th, 2011 5:29 AM

I kept a Woobat originally, 2nd time i kept a Drilbur, then this last time i kept a female Panpour who i later took out after my 7th badge for the volcarona i raised from a larvesta.... 10hours of hard work for the Moth from Hell was worth it :3

D0N3GAN March 25th, 2011 5:33 AM

Second Pokemon I kept with me through the Elite 4 was a Sewaddle, now Leavanny.
Had to claim two gym badges before I could catch her though. :/

tjb90 March 25th, 2011 5:35 AM

The second Pokemon that I kept on my team is my Pansear.

encas March 25th, 2011 6:20 AM

I have had similar problems with finding cool Pokemon to keep on my team in the beginning. In my case, the first I kept on my team was an Audino, which I eventually switched out. But soon afterward, I caught a Maractus, which I've had on my team ever since.

OHM2010 March 25th, 2011 6:34 AM

Im only at Driftveil City myself, but the only pokemon thats been in my party the whole time so far has been my Simisear since it was given to me in Striaton City (I started with Oshawott obviously). Aside from evolving him waaaaay too early, he's been pretty good to me.

Pidgeotto March 25th, 2011 12:20 PM

Drilbur and Tirtouga were the first Pokemon I kept full time after starting. So yeah, it was a while.

Pyrax March 25th, 2011 12:33 PM

Apart from Lilipup, Patrat, and Purrloin, the second pokémon I kept was a Panpour.
Unfortunatly, I boxed Panpour for Tirtouga, so I guess the real second pokémon that I kept would be a Pidove I caught on my way to Nacrene city.

alisaie March 25th, 2011 12:37 PM

Let's see... Tepig, Patrat, and Lillipup don't count because I ditched them, and neither does Timburr. So, with the first pokemon I caught to stay on my team being Blitzle, my second one would have been Petilil in the Pinwheel Forest.

The Nightmare March 25th, 2011 3:31 PM

My second one would be Blitzle.

lunemoon March 25th, 2011 3:36 PM

In white the second pokemon I added to my team was Victini, though I don't really count it as my second as it was an event, and I didn't add another until a solosis.

In black I caught a Audino in Pinwheel forest.

Thomas March 25th, 2011 3:40 PM

The second one that I actually kept? Er, on my first try through the game it was a Blitzle.

Sabrewulf238 March 26th, 2011 3:47 AM

I kept some pokemon up until about the time I reached Castelia City (Pansear and Herdier) but then I got rid of them.

The first team member besides my Oshawott that was actually solid was Timburr.

Calamity March 26th, 2011 4:02 AM

The 1st pokemon I've caught in White so far was a Lillipup, and became boxed asap, my team atm consists of Servine, Tranquill, Liepard and an underleveled Panpour. I'm planning on replacing Liapard for a Sandile seeing as I can't imagine it been anymore help as it is now and I reallllllllllllly want a Braviry, but I have no idea where to get a Rufflet from so looks like I'm stuck with Tranquill for now :(

D0N3GAN March 26th, 2011 4:06 AM

Training a Lillipup up atm, but I know I'm not going to keep it with me.
So the first that I caught which is going to stay with me is the Adamant Pansage I was given at the Dreamyard.

lamby101 March 26th, 2011 5:20 AM

I think Sandile, can't remember anything before, tried using the early pokemon but I get a bit bored of the normal and flying types.

TheGinger63 March 26th, 2011 6:01 AM

my second pokemon was Panpour, but i boxed that thing away after the Trio gym so i could get by pansear. after that... my real second pokemon was Throh who I can say helped me tremendously throughout the game (im pretty sure he had the final blow on Ghettis)

Oh My Gina March 26th, 2011 7:32 AM

I kept my pansage in my party till the elite 4 then i evolved it and now its in my pc... haha but i have kept my carracosta with me and i cant see my self getting rid of him any time soon!

Kenshin5 March 26th, 2011 7:54 AM

The first pokemon I caught that I kept for my Elite 4 team was Sandile.

Basculin March 26th, 2011 8:19 AM

My first pokemon I kept was my Tepig, now my Emboar. The second I kept was my Herdier. :3
But really I only used my Dragonite, Piloswine, and Emboar to beat the whole game. :3 I didn't get Dragonite and Piloswube until after I defeated all the gyms though.

Amore March 26th, 2011 8:21 AM

Would've been Pansear...but then I ditched him for Victini. So...Sawk!

Omnomosauras March 26th, 2011 9:56 AM

I actually kept my Lillipup that I caught on Route 1.

Westie7 March 26th, 2011 10:19 AM

Blitzle from route 3. Her usefullness has fluctuated, but she did solo the Ice leader for training.

royalty118 March 26th, 2011 10:55 AM

I got a Sawk pretty early and still have it. I think it's kind of stupid that there's no evolved form such as Machop from earlier generations.

solarowl March 26th, 2011 11:38 AM

I caught a Lillipup, but it didn't stay very long. The second Pokemon I kept would be... Blitzle.

Mondenn March 26th, 2011 11:41 AM

I orginally got a lilipup first but after a short while i stopped using it.

It'd have to be blitzle or scraggy if i recall. xD

Drekin March 26th, 2011 11:54 AM

The earliest pokemon I've got that are still in my party today are either Sigilyph or Roggenrola. (whichever is available first)

The Doctor March 26th, 2011 12:00 PM

My Pansage is my proper second one that Im raising :D

WildEagle March 26th, 2011 12:10 PM

Timburr would like some words with you.

I caught a drillbur in wellspring cave, and it is now an Excadrill :)

mochilicious March 26th, 2011 12:31 PM

I believe mine was my Blitzle/Zebstrika. My first two have only gained two levels each lol.

R.K 9 March 26th, 2011 12:40 PM

literally the moment after I left nuvema town, it was a lillipup.

Blue Nocturne March 26th, 2011 1:05 PM

The first pokemon that I kept long-term was Panpour. All the other prior I may have kept around for a battle or two and then dumped. The third pokemon I kept was Timburr, and she's gone now.

WriteThemWrong March 26th, 2011 1:27 PM

well i got rid of my starter, so my first pokemon i caught was a lillipup. the first pokemon i really kept was a blitzle and my second was a tympole. so tympole?

PlatinumDude March 26th, 2011 4:12 PM

The second Pokemon I'll be actually keeping is the Venipede (now a Whirlipede) I caught in Pinwheel Forest. Scolipede is just too epic to pass up on.

Hyrulian_Hero March 26th, 2011 4:32 PM

I actually train all the pokemon I catch evenly...except for my watchog...he's my HM mule too =P. right now I have a beartic and Axew I'm training up.

I usually take one to train with after every badge earned. particularly one that has an advantage over the next gym leader and since I'm on my last badge Axew and beartic are the ones I'm currently training while also looking for other pokemon/items I missed along the way.

razzbat March 26th, 2011 9:24 PM

it would have to be cottonee, which is now a whimsicott. it's technically my first pokemon that i have kept since i dropped fat pig off somewhere early in the game.

BringYourOwnKites March 26th, 2011 9:32 PM

The second Pokemon I kept in my party was Scraggy. After that, Joltik, Pidove, Litwick, and Cubchoo.

Satoshi Ookami March 26th, 2011 11:40 PM

Like some of you Otomaru/Tympole in Yaguruma/Pinwheel Forest.
Then I've captured Meguroko/Sandile and... etc. :D

GreenBeece March 27th, 2011 3:56 AM

I had (in both times I've played) four Pokémon before challenging Burgh...

First time: I kept Pansear. Cottonee was the first I caught and kept through the whole game. I caught Patrat from Route 1 and used in battles all the way to Icirrus City.

Second time: I kept Pansage. I caught Woobat and traded Frillish from my prevorius game.

amberrelf March 27th, 2011 7:36 AM

A Purrloin. ;]
Her name's Bathsheba; she's a Liepard now.
Naughty nature, somewhat vain.
I don't really care for Dark pokemon, but I love her.
And so does Azarius. ;]
She's pretty much his naughty little sexkitten.

Yusshin March 27th, 2011 7:48 AM

Audino. Took it right up to the Elite Four.

Alternative March 27th, 2011 7:52 AM

Well actually, in my game I ditched my Oshawott and traded over two eggs of Minccino and Petilil, so I guess Petilil was my second Pokemon that I actually kept to train, since it was the second egg to hatch for me. :P

Autaven March 27th, 2011 8:12 AM

Not sure what Route I caught him on, but Blitzle is part of my main team now still.

I Date Flaffy's March 27th, 2011 10:15 AM

Mine was sandlie :D, now a lv 91 Powerhouse named Curt... i could not have beat the game without him <3 i evd the crap out of him :D

themutantmuffin March 27th, 2011 12:44 PM

wow, im surprised no one has taken munna? he was the first one I got and im currently still using him. (im just on route four though :) ) once i saw him i knew i wanted him in my main party. i would think that at least one other person would too! maybe its just my love for psychic pokemon :D

I restarted on white after defeating ghetsis to start with snivy and I picked up Munna as my second. He's quite the semi-tank that can dish out some hardcore psybeams at lvl 22 lol :)

Tristz0t March 27th, 2011 2:19 PM

The only Pokemon I really kept was a Litwick. (Which is now a Chandelure). That thing is now level 94 and has single handedly taken me through the whole of the elite four. Including the dark type guy whose name I keep forgetting.

Yurusumaji March 27th, 2011 2:44 PM

The second one I kept I got in Dreamyard. It's my Pansage I got from the girl there.

Shadow101thehedgehog March 27th, 2011 2:55 PM

First pokemon i kept was lilipup. Second was charmander (traded my tepig for it the moment i could trade).

Gary_MotherTucking_Oak March 27th, 2011 3:00 PM

The second Pokemon I caught was a Patrat. I trained it to 10 then pc'd it for the rest of the game. The second Pokemon I caught and kept to the end of the game is Pidove.

ingcoliptis March 27th, 2011 3:05 PM

purrloin

I only kept mine till lvl 15 after the 1st gym (I am an idiot and didn't know about pansage)

rstevenson1976 March 27th, 2011 3:12 PM

munna and panpour in the dream yard, their evolutions are beasts

Rionix March 28th, 2011 5:02 AM

I actually got my second pokemon in Route 1. I kept my Patrat and evolved it to Wachog and raised it like it was my child. He even owned Elite Grimsley's Liepard and Scrafty.

Heart Gold March 28th, 2011 6:44 AM

I was going to use Munna but I'm on White now so I have Solosis/Duosion/Reuniclus available.

roggenrola1989 March 28th, 2011 7:31 AM

My Roggenrola is my favorite, now a level 60 GIGALITH and has been taught bulldoze, rock slide, smackdown, and power gem. I love the fact that I have to do only one move and they are done!

Dudypokefan89 March 28th, 2011 7:56 AM

Well for me, i form my teams around the gym leaders. since i never really look up what type they have until I'm in the city or town, i pretty much just keep my party open to any types i need. I picked Tepig and i was given pansage, so now i have something to beat grass,bug,water, rock, and ground with. i have pretty much kept 50% of the pokemon i caught. it all depended on what types i needed to beat.

Dark Piplup March 28th, 2011 3:07 PM

Before the game I knew I wanted Pidove. But you have to have at least 2 pokes to get it so I got Pansear.

Xyrin March 28th, 2011 3:15 PM

My first was my Pidove! I named her Pi! :D I also got a sandile next.

LouBeatYou March 28th, 2011 5:35 PM

Well I caught a Lillipup, but he didn't have any useful typing later in-game, so around the 2nd gym I dropped him. Then I got a Pidove, which I kept till the Ice gym, but ditched for a Beartic...so I think my first pokemon I have kept on my team so far would be my Sandile, now a Krookodile, named Caiman.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ March 29th, 2011 6:37 AM

Route 2. Purrloin. Granted, its evolved form is no Persian, but it did fill the role of cat Pokemon on my team well enough.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 29th, 2011 9:21 AM

I was thinking of keeping Pansage on my team for the Elite Four, but by the time I made it to the 4th city, I threw it in the box. But the first wild Pokemon I caught (Pidove) I kept her on my team and she is still on my main team right now


:t354:TG

Gotta Catch 'Em All March 29th, 2011 11:12 AM

The first Pokemon I caught after getting my Oshawott that I still have today was my Drilbur that I caught from the first cave you encounter. I spent a good few minutes trying to encounter him, and I still have him now (Caught him at level 12, he's now a level 56 Excadrill).

He's a brilliant Pokemon for where you can get him, I actually rate Drilbur/Excadrill as one of the best new generation Pokemon in Black/White. I'd recommend going through the extra effort to get one if you haven't already. :)

Boarbeque March 29th, 2011 11:31 AM

Pinwheel Forest is where I got my Venipede and I already had my Pignite. I then got a Plume fossil in the Desert Resort if that counts.

Braeden23000 March 29th, 2011 12:22 PM

My second pokemon was a Woobat, caught in that first cave next to the day care. It is a Swoobat now, and is about to be replaced with Frillish, since I need something good against Psychic, Ghost, and Fire.

Weavile05 March 29th, 2011 12:52 PM

I think it was a Whimsicott, although I didn't actually keep it all the way through the game. I traded a petlil for it.

Far_Eggs March 29th, 2011 5:35 PM

The first pokemon that I kept in my party was Scraggy, who replaced Timburr. On the subject of replacing pokemon, I actually trained like 3 guys who never made it to the end of the game. Not to mention I didn't have a full party until the 8th gym.

Jay H Christ March 30th, 2011 2:31 PM

The second Pokèmon i kept would have to be my awesome Throh. He's been in my team for quite some time and I'm not planning on getting rid of him even if he is weak against Flying and Psychic. He is still a useful part of my team.

nm legend March 30th, 2011 2:41 PM

well shoot....the only pokemon that seem like its guna be in my final team along side my Pignite is Cotonee and Scraggy.....because i really dont like wat blitzle turns into and when tympole evolved i got very upset at it......so rite now i got that water/ rock turtle thing and a solosis my lil brother gave me.......so yea not sure wats the future of my team is guna look like..

Dusk White March 30th, 2011 6:13 PM

I'm thinking that semisage/grasswott is staying from me. Same thing for dewott/ninjawott.

Scraggiland April 15th, 2011 1:17 PM

First Pokémon I caught on my journey to actually join my team was the Drilbur I caught in Wellspring Cave.
;]

Kokuo April 15th, 2011 1:32 PM

The first pokemon I kept was the Pansage you get in the Dreamyard. Though I did swap out later I kept it for the majority of the main story.

morrison April 15th, 2011 1:48 PM

I kept pidove (which is now a female unfezant) and I kept blitzle which is a zebstrika now, and I kept sewaddle which is a leavanny now. I also kept scraggy and until I swapped it for beartic, I had a timburr, which evolved to a gurrdor.

Yukimi April 15th, 2011 10:22 PM

I traded myself a Pawnaird as soon as I started the game.
He's sturdy, to stay the least. Great defense and very decent offense. He was an absolute powerhouse through the beginning, although he's taken on a sort of "grand master" role recently. He doesn't need as much training as his teammates, so he doesn't see much battle and only occasionally steps in to save the day.

Stormer07 April 16th, 2011 6:44 AM

Tympole was my first caught Pokemon in Black and I kept it till after the e4, its now a 77 Seismitoad - 3rd Pokemon that I caught was a Pidove which I kept till after the e4, it's now a lv 66 Unfezant.

nate890 April 16th, 2011 7:25 AM

The first pokemon i kept was Pidove

Krovvy April 16th, 2011 7:43 AM

First catch. :)
T'was my Lillipup.

Edsbob April 16th, 2011 7:52 AM

Either my Pidove, my Munna or my Pansage. I don't quite remember, but it's probably the Pansage... I got them all in or around the Dreamyard as soon as I could get to it.

NamelessGuy April 16th, 2011 8:32 AM

I'm currently on my second playthrough of White, and the second Pokemon I got was Panpour, to compliment my Snivy. Right now, it's evolved into Simipour, and it can dish out some serious damage with Scald. ;D
