I used my Simisage all the way through N's castle and he did awesome. But, I replaced him with a Alakazam after I beat the game

Tew beh honest, I nevur cared fer the Monkeys since they were useless, plus I'm not a fan of pures. (unless zey were appealing)

I did use Panpear fer the furst Gym that's thats it. I just liek'd how Simasage reminded meh of Elvis

Nelauk May 8th, 2011 9:52 AM

i never really liked the designs for the evos of the monkeys.

simisage is the only one who actually looks cool. the others are just...meh.

Agreed.

Now, it's not like the Monkey trio are _absolutely_ useless. >_>
They do... have nice stats... and... good movepools... and... can be of... good... use... if... you do... it... right... ghh...

That was difficult to say. D:

well, that's true. my simipour can kill a rock type or ice type or steel type or fire type with no problem.

his moves are waterfall, surf, rock smash, and dig.

I taught my monkey cut, used it once or twice, then dumped it in the pc where it has been ever since.

DarkAlucard May 17th, 2011 4:01 PM

Never use it, they all look pretty dumb in my point of view.

gameplayer56 May 17th, 2011 4:16 PM

To tell you the truth, I release as soon I got it. Not a big fan of monkey Pokemon (Except Mankey & its evo, Primeape).

pansage does learn seed bomb, makes it a powerhouse in it's own right.
semisage doesn't learn anything useful. you evolved it too soon

well semisage learns seedbomb too when it evolves but crunch and acrobatics are definitely worth it...

The monkeys aren't really terrible or useless. I used my Panpour until the fifth or sixth Gym, when I backtracked to Route 4 and tested Drilbur's Sand Rush ability, and caught a Frillish. I guess I just thought its typing was better. Still, it was fun to use my Panpour, because its Lick actually helped me catch some of my other Pokemon due to its low base power and chance of paralysis. I loved saying Panpour's name, too (so that's why I didn't evolve it)! It reminded me of how I once annoyed my brother for saying Phanpy's name all the time. :3

This. And not only the first gym, but also for the early Cheren matches. I loved how useful Panpour was at those times.

ElectricScyther May 18th, 2011 5:22 AM

Simipour is underrated. With no other Water types in the games even looking OK, I've used it as my Water pokemon in Black the whole way.

Dotz May 20th, 2011 3:39 AM

I evolved my pansage the moment i got to castelia and got the stone. =P Used heart scales and tm(s) to teach it moves~ It's a pretty good grass type, i'd say, but i'm sticking with my leafeon. ^^

deoxys121 May 20th, 2011 3:55 PM

In White, I kept using my Panpour until before the 4th gym, at which point I switched to Palpitoad, which soon after, evolved into Seismitoad. I kept Seismitoad ever since.

Trixter2448 May 20th, 2011 7:48 PM

I've used both Simisear & Simipour well in the aftergame.

Kevin May 21st, 2011 7:26 AM

I kept my Simisear up to Driftveil City, then I replaced it with Vanillite.

smithtism May 21st, 2011 1:11 PM

I didn't really use my elemental monkey, even against the first gym leader. It took forever to level up to lvl 10 and it was only as strong as my lvl 9 Purrloin, so I boxed it. = /

Audihertz May 21st, 2011 6:24 PM

Muu.... I put my Panpour into the daycare after the first gym battle and then forgot about him until the other day... gained a good 40 levels or so;;

vaporeon7 May 22nd, 2011 12:08 AM

I never really like the elemental monkeys designs to be honest. To me they were just another lot of gimmick Pokemon like Plusle or Minum except worse. I just deposited mine in the box after I received it in my Pokemon Black and White. I only took them out to evolve them.

Lolfacer May 22nd, 2011 12:19 AM

Personally I think they are quite weak until they evolve by the time they look horrible!
Ignoring how they look the 2nd evolutions are quite strong.
But after the first gym I boxed it for Lilipup who is now a Stoutland.
