My Simipour was male but looked like a female.

Simisage looks like Elvis with that hair.

Simisear looks high.

Overall, they have weird designs and mediocre stats. They have their use.

I kept my Simipour until I started building a team. Before it was just high level pokemon that i caught. XD (that was after beating the E4 3 times)

Edsbob April 19th, 2011 7:57 AM

To me, BW wasn't a game where I wanted to make an uber team for some reason.

I have a Simisage. He gets the job done with Seed Bomb.
The monkeys, they look great, they get the job done fine.
I love them.

Lateon April 19th, 2011 10:10 AM

I boxed simisage as soon as I could. It would have been useful if it had a decent movepool, but for me he kept getting KO'd left and right

Both Offensive Stats under 100 and with piss poor defenses to match? THEYRE TERRIBLE

morrison April 19th, 2011 10:19 AM

Ummm...they're 98 so it's not a really big difference from 100...
In terms of stats, they aren't that bad. 500 BST isn't a mediocre number.
Their biggest downside are really bad movesets. That's why I never used them for more than 3 days~.

Rai April 19th, 2011 5:32 PM

I liked my Pansear but... I dunno, it just didn't feel right on my team. I don't know if that makes sense.

jle1076 April 19th, 2011 5:39 PM

um 98/98 offensive sets and ~70/~70 defenses along with a shallow movepool= terrible

JP April 19th, 2011 6:17 PM

I used my Simisage for a good while on my one game, however for my Simipour, I ended up boxing it in after I evolved it before battling Burgh lol. That was mainly due to me being stupid and forgetting that they don't learn any moves after evolving. Other thing is that I don't really like these monkeys much. Their first stages are pretty cool, but their evolutions are pretty much butt ugly to me.

big NATE alpha April 19th, 2011 7:29 PM

I used my Pansear until Castelia Gym, at which point I evolved it into Simisear...but then I got Victini and ditched it. I decided to train a bit in post-game, but I still haven't taken much time. It's currently sitting in my box at level 38, but I will soon work on making it better, because it's not a bad Pokemon.

hokala April 20th, 2011 6:15 AM

I like the monkeys. I got a pansear which is good because pinwheel forest is right there for me to train him easily. I like the concept of having basically two starter!

You've said the same thing over and over again. Either you REALLY hate these monkeys and you feel like trolling or you have a REALLY bad memory. XD

Honestly, I saw a lot of use out of my Simisage. Leech Seed is always nice to have around, plus his physical movepool isn't too shabby at all, getting STAB from Seed Bomb, plus Rock Slide and Dig to cover for his weaknesses and you're good to go. XD

johnny18 April 20th, 2011 9:04 AM

I never use them since they are really not my favorite. I guess I'll try to train one someday ^_^

Superjub April 20th, 2011 9:05 AM

When I played the Japanese Rom, I used mine. Hower, in the English version, I ditched mine (Simisage) for a Cottonee, which is now a Whimsicott. I just left it in my box until I got a leaf stone, and then I evolved it just for my PokeDex. XD So yeah, their stats and movepool isn't that great, plus I don't really like any of their evolutions, apart from the fire one which I can tolerate. But then, there are superior fire types, like Chandelure and Emboar (which I have.)

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ April 20th, 2011 10:18 AM

I didn't even use it against the first gym, considering I was at level 18 and my other Pokemon easily took care of the gym leader. Somehow I caught the other two, but currently all three monkeys are just hanging out in Box 2.

Seeds Horizon April 20th, 2011 12:15 PM

Well, I caught Pansage and Pansear, Pansear for Burgh..Seeing as my team is Grass and Grass/Bug types, and its kinda annoying to fight Grass on Grass..So used it to tear through his team *shrugs*. Now that I think about it though..Coulda caught that Darma-something pokemon..probably would have been best *sigh*.

Pwnyta Jockey April 20th, 2011 12:19 PM

Like them after breeding becaus of ROLE PLAY. Such a fun move. Shame they can't Baton Pass.

iMareth April 20th, 2011 1:50 PM

I got Semipour and kept him on my team till the end because he was my water hm slave. Pretty resourceful if you ask me.

AusDon April 20th, 2011 2:24 PM

I don't even remember having it. I traded it through the GTS, I think.
Still need a decent water pokemon (For my Gen 5 team), so it probably wasn't a very good idea. lol

Boarbeque April 21st, 2011 12:27 PM

Elvis...I mean Simisage was on my team the first time i played the games in Japanese. He is actually really good.

Krovvy April 21st, 2011 12:30 PM

Everybody hates them. I think they're pretty good. I use Simisage in my party. Good grass type.

I hate Simisear for its design and Simipour because its the reason I lose on the Battle Subway.

I like Simisage because it reminds me of Elvis.

Seeds Horizon April 21st, 2011 12:45 PM

Meh. After looking through all these posts seems many tend to discard it for better Pokemon of the same type. I discarded my Panpour for a Ducklett, which then evolved into a Swanna, since it can fly and is also a water type, so win-win :/. Plus it was like 10 levels higher... I had a Snivy/Servine/Serperior already, so didnt need another Grass. For Pansear, I got Darmanitan as soon as I could, since I have noticed it does have better moves...*shrugs* I think later on ill level em up just for the amusement.

Weespotty April 21st, 2011 12:48 PM

Meh, I want to start again because I want the water monkey sooo badly.
