Meh... I just benched it. Got overleveled, and crushed the first gym. I just don't like evo-stone pokemon that only have one stage. ie.Jigglypuff, Clefable, Munna

I still haven't beaten the game yet (I'm at the seventh gym), but I'm still using mine. I haven't actually decided precisely what my team should be yet, but my Pansear (yes, I haven't evolved it yet) is still part of my party rotation for the time being. It has a pretty diverse moveset at the moment, and I'm pretty happy with it, even though it's a little weak at the moment (particularly as an unevolved monkey). I don't know if I'll keep using it through the end of the game, but I think I will. I like its semi-novelty value as an early game gift Pokemon.

I really like the Monkey's design, but I never used mine since I started with snivy, and already had plans on getting dakumara, which wasn't that far in the future. Had I use a different starter I definitely would have used my elemental monkey throughout the game.

Porygon Z April 21st, 2011 11:59 PM

I've just used Pansear as a HM Slave for Cut, Dig and Flash :D
But now, I've trained all of them up to Lv. 45 or something (and evolved) to see which moves they could learn. They didn't suck at all (the moves).

SilverCrown April 22nd, 2011 3:08 AM

I'm using a Simisear in my Wi-Fi team. They're pretty strong!

Misheard Whisper April 22nd, 2011 3:21 AM

I used my Simisear all the way up to the seventh Gym (type advantage \o/) but then ditched it for Chandelure, which is an infinitely better Fire-type. There are many better Fire-types, really. I reckon they're only useful for that first Gym, if I'm being totally honest.

JakeG April 22nd, 2011 3:36 AM

I kept Panpour for I think up to the 4th gym before evolving and boxxing it for stronger water pokemon. I found it really cool and useful for that time.

nate890 April 22nd, 2011 5:02 AM

I really like the elemential monkies. They have a good move set and decent stats. I used my pansear throughout the whole game.

Amore April 22nd, 2011 5:57 AM

I like them...although Simsage's pokédex entry makes it sound a bit horrible, it looked cool when I battled Bianca's Simisage. Simipour is probably the best one, however I dislike its' design. Simisear, I never used because of Victini, but has the best design, I think. Pansear is better than the other two too.

hokala April 22nd, 2011 6:03 AM

I use my monkey all the time. It's very useful.

Rionix April 22nd, 2011 7:02 AM

I didn't train my pansear.. when i got it, it went straight to my pc box and i did not even use it to defeat Cilan... Maybe if they're elemental cats then I would have used them but no.. not monkeys.. :s

Elemental Cats would have been interesting XD. Or maybe Elemental Rats?:P. When I first read about them, in some game review or perhaps the walkthrough I checked out while waiting for the game to get in, I liked the concept. But after getting one..I was meeehhhh you suck! But maybe ill train it up during my third playthrough and see how good it gets towards the E4 and into the endgame..Might surprise me.

Barn April 23rd, 2011 3:15 PM

I don't like their designs (except for Pansage & Simisage, but I never chose Tepig) so I ditched them after the first gym.

Most people seem to have gotten rid of them..>_<. You know you can get all three elemental types in Pinwheel forest in the shaking grass?:O

Nikorasu April 24th, 2011 12:55 PM

NAh i hate how your just given him, i like to earn my pokemanz

Saryka April 24th, 2011 5:22 PM

I started my game with Tepig and only used the Pansage I was given for the first gym battle against Cress. It's now an occasional HM slave sitting in my PC box. I catch the Elemental Monkeys only for filling my Pokédex, but I don't use them in my party.

Osha_say_wott?! April 28th, 2011 5:35 PM

My starter Pokémon was Oshawott, so the elemental money giving to me n the Dreamyard was Pansear. I've kept it in my team and is my second strongest Pokémon, right behind Samurott. I'm planning to finally evolve him into Simisear when I battle the Icirrus City's gym leader. I tried to add Panpour and Pansage to my team but couldn't train them well enough. =/

Hooh April 28th, 2011 5:56 PM

I never even got Panpour the entire game, and it shall remain like that.

Same, except I don't even use it as an HM slave, it just sits on my box :P

Grålle April 29th, 2011 6:51 AM

I took Pansear after I lost against the gymleader 3 times. I wasn't to happy about using him but after he beat Cilan without any training he have been in my team since then, up till the second time on Elite 4. Now days I train him and the rest of my in-game team to lv 100.

hiff8 April 29th, 2011 12:46 PM

I actually kept my pansage/simisage well forever it was my main guy it excelled ahead of my starter it had great coverage with its moves It had acrobatics a move you get that is weirdly strong for the start,seed bomb,bite,and flash which is (no matter what anyone says) is crazy good. near the end I nearly killed both N and the leader with nothing but him
i only used zerkrom like once XD.

bolter1 April 30th, 2011 8:31 AM

I only used my Pansear for the first gym. Maybe I was just being impatient or picky but he didn't seem to be very stong or have good attacks. Plus incinerate's, my only fire-type attack at the time, animation really bugged since it didn't look like the fire was even reaching the target. After the first gym I threw him in the PC never to see the light again, or at least a very long time.

TwilightBlade April 30th, 2011 10:41 AM

I cringe every time I see them! I could have had 6 cooler Pokemon instead of these silly little monkeys.

I ditched my monkey after the first gym.

Opposite Day April 30th, 2011 11:03 AM

Simipour isn't that bad looking if it is female.

Rather useful too, I loved using mine as a cut slave and as a box filler before the first gym.

Houli April 30th, 2011 12:36 PM

I stopped using my Pansage after the first gym. The problem was that it just took too long to level it even with Audinos. Also it seemed to die a lot.
