The only ones I'm considering among the revealed Pokémon are Fennekin and Malimar. I have a feeling the strongest Pokémon haven't been shown yet.

Sabrewulf238 July 23rd, 2013 10:53 AM

Having to pick a team of six:

Malamar
Fennekin [Final evo]
Helioptile [Final evo]
Clauncher [Final evo]
Flabebe [Final evo]
Gogoat

In order of certainty from most certain to least certain. I love Malamars design so I'm hoping to get him on my team no matter what. Gogoat likely won't be in my team, it's just filler right now. I was sure about Flabebe but it could be a little iffy. It depends on if Spritzee evolves into a Fairy/Poison plague doctor....or if Mawile evolves into a Steel/Fairy.

It'll depend on what old pokemon return too though, I'll probably want one old pokemon I've never used before.

You know, I could probably get away without having a water type this gen....since Malamar will probably learn surf because of it's origin. Could be interesting, I can't remember a playthrough where I didn't have a water type.

Moist July 23rd, 2013 12:46 PM

I'm gonna wait until I see all of the new pokemon, there are too many good pokemon to choose...

Shrew July 23rd, 2013 12:57 PM

Chespin and Fletchling are the only 2 I've decided on, although the former may change depending on final evolutions.

EJ Nero July 23rd, 2013 1:00 PM

I can't even tell you right now. Too many pokemon not yet revealed. I'll make my team once I see the full pokedex, which won't be until the game's release.

Zylas July 23rd, 2013 1:02 PM

1. Chespin -----> whatever the heck it evolves into. This is a change for me, because I've always been dedicated to the water starter, but I thought it was time for a bit of change.
2. Pancham (The new Lucario! XD) ----> Pangoro
3. Fletchling --------> Talonflame (yes it may seem pointless, but Talonflame is very similar to the Peregrine Falcon, which is my favorite animal :) )
4. Gogoat - for traveling
5. Helioptile
6. Inkay ------> Malamar (Uh, ultimate will-bending powers? Sweet! I'm thinkin' the new Gengar!)

This team will obviously change as more Pokes are released.

Don't be so sure. Eelektross is an aquatic Pokémon and can't learn Surf.

BTW Malimar should already be the final stage.

Gulpin July 23rd, 2013 2:10 PM

This will most likely be completely different once the games come out, but as of now my team will look like this:
- Chespin
- Flabebe
- Talonflame
- Clauncher/Skrelp
- Malamar
- Helioptile

The starter really depends on the final evolution for me. With Unova's starters I was dead-set on choosing Tepig until the evolutions were revealed and I did a complete 180 and went for the much better (in my opinion) Oshawott line.
Flabebe is my favorite Fairy type so far, and hopefully it evolves well. If it doesn't I may go for Swirlix/Spritzee, all depending on evolutions. If I dislike all of their evo's I'll probably go for a retconned Fairy.
Talonflame seems like an awesome fire and flying type, and I like it a lot better than Litleo.
I like Clauncher and Skrelp pretty much equally, so whichever one I choose will likely depend on the version I play which will also depend on their evolutions.
Malamar looks awesome, and Inkay is just so adorable (not to mention their awesome typing!) so as long as their stats match my play style they will likely be on my team.
Not really sure about Helioptile, though it seems promising.

The Local Joke July 23rd, 2013 2:32 PM

Clauncher and Honedge, so far.

billyjoseph July 23rd, 2013 3:10 PM

Fennekin
Skrelp
Maika
Honedge
Gogoat
Noivern

....so far but i think i'll have trouble deciding on just 6 this gen.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 23rd, 2013 4:21 PM

Fennekin
Helioptile
Eevee (if we can get one early on) and evolve it into Sylveon
Pancham
Gogoat
and the 6th is undetermined yet.

Boilurn July 23rd, 2013 7:50 PM

Great topic idea!

- Honedge
- Noivern
- Talonflame
- Skrelp
- Malamar
- Pangoro

This should make great type synergy both offensively and defensively.

norbyotter July 23rd, 2013 8:26 PM

Hmm well, I'll do the same; using gen 6 pokes only for in-game stuff.

As always, with my first run, I'll go more with the looks than the stats for my party! But I'll change it up if some Pokemon really doesn't cut it for me xD

1- Chespin, evos.
2- Helioptile, evos.
3- Litleo, evos.
4- Sylveon.
5- Honedge, and it's evos if it has any, for sure.
6- Pancham, maybe... I don't like Pangoro at all, but I love Pancham's design ;w;

Jake♫ July 23rd, 2013 8:39 PM

I totally read this title as "Pokemon X and Y Partying So Far" and was severely confused.

As of now, I'm thinking Chespin, Clauncher, and Malamar. The other three are still up for debate. I have no idea what I'll fill them with, but hopefully it won't require an HM Slave seeing as they weren't totally necessary last generation. I'd definitely prefer to get a Fire type (Maybe Talonflame, but I'm not sure), an Electric type, and for the third one it'd pretty much be a wild card.

Entermaid July 23rd, 2013 10:06 PM

Hmm... I will update this each reveal, as always, but for now this is my plan.

Spoiler:
I need to have a grass, fire, and water pokemon. Also, I rarely use pokemon that don't have a color palette of the trio's typing. So...I won't go with Gogoat; therefore, for now I have to go with the Chespin. I am equally diggin' him and Fennekin anyway. Fire pokemon...well, no Fennekin, unless a new grass is revealed that I like. Other than than there is Talonflame and Litleo. I like talonflame, but it doesn't go any further than like. Litleo on the other hand may not be red/orange predominately in its palette, but I am assuming that he will grow a large fiery mane. The potential for the Litleo line outweighs the already revealed information on Talonflame, which likely will not evolve. So I am going with Litleo, for now. Lastly, we have water. Froakie could be a really amazing toad king with a white crown and bubbly robe, but for now, I can't assume anything, and the Froakie design is just lukewarm for me. The two option I have are Skrelp and Clauncher. I generally don't use pokemon that are more on the ugly or brutish side. I prefer elegant or regal pokemon over anything else, and I am not getting any of those vibes from these pokemon yet (though Skrelp has more potential). Further they are X and Y exclusive, so, for now, I will put this idea on the backburner and go to other version exclusives. Swirlix is the X-version exclusive and Spritzee is the Y-version exclusive. I really like both of them a lot, but I really want Swirlix, and I am predicting that it will evolve into a standard french poodle, which would be insanely amazing. Though, spritzee could very well be a plauge doctor, as many have speculated, I am sensing it will be more of a flamingo, which I would likely have to pass on. Therefore, by default I will go with Clauncher, but I will most likely change this soon! Beyond the elemental trio, I also prefer an electric type. I love Helioptile, and have high expectations on its evolutions. I was sold after watching the gameplay video in which it reveals its frills. Lastly, I could go with Malimar, Pangoro, Noivern, or Villion. I like all of them. Though, I bug-types are my favorite, and I am glad to see that the butterfly scales (of which all butterflies possess) have finally been featured in a design.

Tentative Line-up:

Kanzler July 23rd, 2013 10:39 PM

Noivern, Talonflame and Pangoro so far... I'm waiting for the starter evo's to be revealed before I make any further moves.

Nolafus July 23rd, 2013 10:47 PM

So far my team is shaping up to be like this:
Chespin
Malamar
Talonflame
Clauncher

These pokemon have just piqued my interest.

Treecko July 24th, 2013 12:28 AM

I really never have a full team planned out but this time I already have some I'm considering. I'm thinking of have either Fennekin or Chespin as my starter and Talonflame and Pangoro. If I pick Fennekin I might also have Gogoat as a Grass type. My starter choice depends on which has the better final evolution. The rest of the team depends on what Pokemon are revealed next or which previous Pokemon are in the game. If some previous gen Pokemon that I really like are in the game I might use them. I really like having mixed generation teams.

Hikamaru July 24th, 2013 1:51 AM

This is my planned team at this point, may change upon further reveals:

- Froakie (gotta have Water starter as always lol)
- Helioptile (Or maybe Malamar if my thoughts change)
- Sylveon (or Swirlix, I want to give the Fairy-type a shot)
- A Flying-type (Talonflame's type doesn't appeal to me so I'm hoping a good one gets revealed)
- A Fire-type (Maybe Litleo but I'm not sure)
- A Grass-type (Again, waiting for a good Grass Pokemon)

I'm still continuing my usual triangle of the three starter types present in my team, although since I'll eventually get both versions I might give some other Pokemon a shot in my other version. My main version is not decided until all version exclusives are revealed. Now that team listed above is assuming I use a 6th Gen-only team, but using old Pokemon wouldn't hurt either.

MarioManH July 24th, 2013 3:01 AM

I have no idea what my partying will be. For my game run through I usually just catch different type diversities and Pokemon that appeal to me. As for my competitive team, this is a different story since w/ this new type coming out, I will have to see what pairs best/worst with it so I can maintain a solid team.

Palkia July 24th, 2013 5:27 AM

I only really know one thing about my party right now. I won't be using a starter pokémon due to how disappointing gen 5's starters where.

Iceshadow3317 July 24th, 2013 5:36 AM

Let's see. I will most definitely have Pangoro and Talonflame as they are my two favorite of the ones revealed. I am also thinking of Honedge because I love swords. I am not into competitive battling so I usually only have pokemon I like.

I will probably switch between a lot of pokemon though. I think I used 10 to 15 different pokemon in Black and White. I love basically every pokemon this generation that has been shown.

PokeChris123 July 24th, 2013 6:53 AM

For me, it's too early to plan my team since I don't think there is enough Pokemon revealed, but if anything, I'll travel through Kalos catching new generation Pokemon only (with the exception of Eevee, because I want a Sylveon).
http://leviathyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Sylveon.png

Z25 July 24th, 2013 8:28 AM

Chespin
pangoro
swirlix
litleo
novierion and
sylveon are my team so far

HollowQueen July 24th, 2013 10:23 AM

I think for my first run, I would want to use a team of only Gen VI Pokemon. This'll probably change as time goes on, but right now, my team will be:
~ Chespin (I always get the Grass starter. ^_^)
~ Spritzee (Gotta have a Fairy!)
~ Vivillon (I need a Bug)
~ Clauncher (It's super-cute and I really really hope its evo(s) get Electric as well)
~ Malamar (Dark/Psychic squid? YES PLEASE!)
~ Oorotto (Don't know it's typing yet, but it looks badass, so why not? :D)
