Ever used the elemental monkeys?
 
As the title says, did you? I didn't, except for Striaton city gym (just to take off a bit of Pansear's (Snivy restart) and Panpour's HP), but I used them as HM slaves with Strength, Flash and Cut. I never found a use for Flash in this game though...

I picked Oshawott for my starter, so I got Pansear. Like you said, that early in the game he was really only useful for the gym battle then he got banked. There are much better pokes just a bit further in the game that beat the monkeys hands down, Darumaka for instance.

And not to mention their evo's look silly except for Pansage. That's the only one that looks decent.

I used pansage/simisage till the eighth gym

cbd98 June 21st, 2011 10:11 AM

Same thing here. I used it only to defeat the first Gym and then boxed if before battling Lenora, the 2nd Gym Leader.

Lee Know June 21st, 2011 11:24 AM

Hmmm, boxed it after killing Burgh.

WishCookie June 21st, 2011 12:25 PM

I used panpour during the whole game.

Autobot Silverwynde June 21st, 2011 12:33 PM

I used Pansear at the first Gym and kept it on my team until it hit level 29, but I was so underwhelmed with him that I boxed him. Poor Ember's mostly used for breeding now.

Katja June 21st, 2011 12:36 PM

Only used it for the first gym. I don't really like monkeys and they are annoying looking. D:

ElectricScyther June 21st, 2011 1:58 PM

Simipour has remained by main Water pokemon in Black version since I got it. Usually I use it as a Surfer.

Nihilego June 21st, 2011 2:23 PM

I used the Fire type one once with a Nasty Plot set, iirc. Never again. It's just really not very good at that job, or any job for that matter.

They do help a lot in the first couple of gyms, though, so there is a decent application for them in that way I guess. Wouldn't bother evolving in most cases.

smurf June 21st, 2011 2:26 PM

i used simisage alot in my game

Esper June 21st, 2011 2:38 PM

I wanna say I didn't just use one to beat the first gym so I can have a unique response, but I only used one to beat the first gym and then stuffed 'im in the basement.

The monkeys don't really appeal to me.

Christopher June 21st, 2011 2:46 PM

hmm I tried to use Pansear I used it up to Castellia City and then it was replaced by a Darumaka

Meganium June 21st, 2011 2:48 PM

Since I chose a water-type starter, I got a Pansear. To be honest I loved this Pokemon. It was pretty useful for my team, especially that I do lack fire-types in most of my teams. lol

Demelza June 21st, 2011 2:52 PM

I had Tepig as my starter so ended up with Pansage, no one told me that once you used a Leaf stone on it, it wouldn't learn anymore moves though :/ so i ended up boxing it after the city where you get the stones for them.

Butterfree-Charizard June 21st, 2011 3:55 PM

I used my Simipour till I got to Driftveil bridge and picked up a Ducklett.

Buttered Coat June 21st, 2011 4:08 PM

I don't really like them but my Pansage/Simisage has been useful. I used it in my team to defeat the elite four, but it's only other use is for cut and flash.

krystal.the.creator June 21st, 2011 4:20 PM

I used the fire type one until the 3rd gym.

Lady Gaga June 21st, 2011 4:41 PM

I used Simisear for the whole game, but then i boxed him for Reshiram (Y)

LegendaryFSK June 21st, 2011 5:12 PM

Like pretty much everyone else, I used Pansear for the first gym and for Cut, then put him in the PC, along with the other two I caught in Pinwheel Forest. There are better Pokemon you can get throughout the game from all those types.

MrUmbreon1994 June 21st, 2011 5:51 PM

I chose Snivy at the start so I got Panpour and I liked it so he became my water type in my final team even knowing I had Cargosta who I consdred my rock type :) but thats just how I play it lol

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ June 22nd, 2011 5:59 AM

I used Pansear as my Cut slave. It didn't even see battle against the Gym leader. Purrloin took care of him instead. So no, it spent most of its time in the PC box.

PlatinumDude June 22nd, 2011 9:12 AM

I used Pansear for the Straiton Gym and that's it. It's also my Cut slave.
