Your first Hoenn Team
 
I don't know if there is already a topic on this but I wanted to make something for people who played RSE when it first came out. The question I want to ask is, what was everyone's first team on their VERY first playthrough of RS. What was the first Pokemon you captured and did you keep his/her til the end of the game?

For me, I remember I chose Torchic as my starter and the first Pokemon I caught was Wingull. I liked Wingull so much and I purposely didn't try to catch other Pokemon on that route where you battle May/Haruka because I wanted so much to believe Wingull was rare :D I kept Wingull and turned it into a Pelipper. It actually helped me a ton during Norman's battle.

I also caught a whismur because I thought it was pink and cute when I first got it (I like fairy-looking Pokemon even before it became an official typing). I remember being so happy when it evolved into a Loudred but I was a bit unhappy when it evolved into Exploud because I thought it looked butt-ugly like that. What happened to the little cutie I caught :p

That's all that I can remember but my very first time playing through the game but I remember also falling in love with Minun because it was the first Pikachu clone I got (when Pika clones were still a new concept) and it actually had some good defense and helped against my elite four battles.

So what about everyone else's first team or first few Pokemon caught that hold a special place in your heart?

FifePokemon July 14th, 2014 10:55 AM

From the first playthrough of my sapphire version, I seem to remember my team being something like: Blaziken, Swellow, Aggron, Walrein, Tropius and Hariyama.

The first pokemon i caught was a Taillow, he was especially useful against Brawly and fairly easy to level up so i kept him in my team all the way, despite catching a Tropius which can also learn Fly.

Pretty sure Aggron was the staple of my team, he was definitely the strongest level, high 80's in the end.

I distinctly remember catching a Spheal because i thought it looked kinda ridiculous but cool, before that i was using a Pelliper for the 'water' slot, but i guess i just liked the idea of having a Walrein more.

Pretty sure I wiped the elite 4 and champion first time with this team, it was definitely one of my favourites.

Lusus July 14th, 2014 12:39 PM

I don't really remember. I just know i never evolved Grovyle into Sceptile because i thought Grovyle looked way cooler.

And i probably used a Swellow, that's as far as i remember.

Altairis July 15th, 2014 6:15 AM

My first one? Just Sceptile. I didn't get the whole "team" thing and didn't bother training anyone else. Worked out pretty well in the the end, though, because I took the same route the second way through and only used Blaziken. I guess this means that for ORAS I should stay with tradition and only use Swampert?

Apollo July 16th, 2014 5:56 PM

Sceptile, Azumarill, Delcatty, Pelipper and Jigglypuff. :3 I recently found a question on Yahoo Answers by my 9 year old self, and asked people if my team was ready for the Elite Four. Eventually I either got a Ninetales or a Crawdaunt - probably after I posted the question.

MathewCS July 16th, 2014 7:24 PM

I remember it was : Swampert, Swellow, Linoone, Mightyena, Camerupt and i believe Flygon
I always thought that Taillow was the best pokemon ever, the same thing happened with Linoone (not a bad catch, it can learn almost every move in the game), Mightyena was just the best for me, i think i ended up having him at level 63 i think and the at 45 or 46 XD, Camerupt was like a 'meh, i have pokiballz' so i captured one and was it. Also i liked a lot Trapinch and captured one because i saw it in a video

Synerjee July 17th, 2014 1:25 AM

I believe I had with me Swampert, Swellow, Gardevoir, Salamence, Camerupt and Manectric. Pretty strong and solid team imo. I had no means of trading, so I made do with the best I could get.

Danny0317 July 17th, 2014 11:08 AM

I don't remember much, but I know for sure I had a Blaziken and a Rayquaza. I never got a Swalot but I remembering wanting to get one cuz it looked really cool.

Hiatus July 17th, 2014 2:12 PM

My first consisted of Blaziken, and two other Pokémon (that I can't remember the names of) for HM purposes. Blaziken was my main focus here, and was the only thing I used when battling, mostly.

chidzz July 17th, 2014 3:56 PM

A Grovyle who I gave up on half way through. He became my HM slave
A Gardevoir who was like my favourite Poekmon ever
A Delcatty who swept Flannery and Norman as a Skitty then evolved just before Winnona
A Pelipper who had Surf, Fly, Shock Wave and Protect (can't believe I still remember!)
A Dustox who was my precious. No one could bad mouth him
A Linoone who literally wrecked with Headbutt... and sometimes Dig too

Pendraflare July 17th, 2014 5:50 PM

I do still sort of remember my first team from Ruby, 11 years ago. I had like Swampert, Manectric, Camerupt, Pelipper (which was a late addition that hardly did anything), Walrein and I forget what my last one was, been a long time since x_x It was nice, but not super memorable for such.

EmeraldLover July 28th, 2014 8:50 PM

Honestly I don't remember much of my first team.
I do, however, remember that I was a novice at first and had the worst team ever in mankind.
I used to (and still do) love Blaziken so that was a pokemon I enjoyed training. Other than that I remember a swablu and a Tropius on my team. I remember I was extremely bad with training my pokemon and I never trained them in the grass.
That also meant my swablu and my Tropius never grew in level. So I literally beat every gym leader with just a Blaziken and I went against the elite 4 and I always lost to Steven.
Still pretty impressive with just a Blaziken at the time.
Now I am much much better at Pokemon lol!

Zeturic July 28th, 2014 10:12 PM

Blaziken and Flygon. I can't remember their names anymore (hey, this was a long time ago), but I can remember getting really mad at my cousin, because I temporarily traded them over to him (I think I wanted to restart my game or something) and he ended up losing his game, and thus my Pokemon.

The Serious Table July 29th, 2014 9:29 AM

Wow that was a loooong time ago. Back in Sapphire, my final team after beating the game was..

Sceptile Lvl 83
Aggron (shiny) Lvl 80
Altaria Lvl 79
Machamp Lvl 81
Ludicolo Lvl 84
Claydol Lvl 84

Pepperton July 29th, 2014 2:11 PM

I remember having Swampert, Magneton, Swellow, and Aggron but I can't really remember the other two. Which is odd because I loved the Pokemon I had on my first playthrough, I think I kept transferring them to new games until HGSS.

Raging Umbreon July 29th, 2014 2:23 PM

I remember having Swampert, Aggron, Flygon, Gardevoir, Absol and I think my last pokemon was Zangoose.

Haha, this was my basically my team as well, minus Zangoose, plus Gengar I got in a trade from FR.

CJoE July 29th, 2014 9:43 PM

I didn't remember it clearly...but i'm sure this is my team :

~Flygon
~Scizor
~Blaziken
~Corphish
~Torkoal
~Aggron

Vinny Vidi Vici July 30th, 2014 3:47 AM

I can't remember exactly what my team was for the whole game, but I do distinctly remember being beaten by Roxanne a couple of times as the only pokes as I tried beating her with a Torchic and Wingull. I know I had a Manectric as it was basically the Hoenn Jolteon, but I can't think of who else I had. I think I had Aggron too, as it was around that time that I realised slow pokemon are annoying as hell for an ingame team unless they have set-up. I also remember teaching him Surf and instantly regretting it.

dresden_88 July 31st, 2014 2:16 AM

lets see, my first hoenn team, i believe i ended up with....

treeko
beautifly
poochyena
zigzagoon
ralts
wingull

i would later raise them all up big and strong, and became champ with them after they all grew up :D

Imperator161 August 5th, 2014 6:38 PM

I changed my team some (added Salamence, Blaziken, Sceptile, and Gardevoir near the end), but I think I originally used Swampert, Linoone, Tropius, Camerupt, and Manectric, and had a spare space for training. My team wasn't nearly as set in RSE as it was in some of my other games, though.

fon August 6th, 2014 3:50 PM

When I first played Sapphire I was 10 and didn't care about teambuilding, lol. My team was just a Sceptile, Linoone and Altaria. I managed to do just fine though. Less Pokemon meant levelling up faster which sounded good to me at the time.

EXCUSE ME ARE YOU ME??? I did the same thing! lol I was goofing off with Torchic and Wingull then I saw the Petalburg Gym and was like "WHOA ALREADY?!?!?!" and then started getting serious. I buffed up, went in...and...yeah. We know how that went. lol

My first Sapphire team looked something like this: Blaziken, Pelipper, Sableye, Bellossom, Gardevoir, Crobat/Ludicolo (I swapped them often idk why cause I never swap like that now). I hope to replicate this team in AlphaSapphire! n___n

Bounsweet August 10th, 2014 2:08 PM

I can't remember exactly what my team was, because I got Sapphire when it first came out back in 2003... n_n;

But, I do remember it had Swampert, Breloom, Swellow, and I think Manectric. The last two (if I even had two more) are unknown to me, though.

Gulpin August 10th, 2014 2:12 PM

I don't remember the exact team that I used in Sapphire, but I know it included Blaziken, Swellow, Gardevoir, Azumarill, and Crobat. However, Azumarill and Crobat may have actually been on the Ruby cartridge that I had lost - I don't exactly remember. I'm pretty sure that I also used Kyogre to take on the Elite Four because wynaut.

Bill Cipher August 10th, 2014 3:51 PM

Swampert.
Flygon.
Sableye.
Skarmory
Golem.

I tried to be cool, and only have 5.

diamondeyes August 16th, 2014 8:29 PM

my starter was torchic!
the rest I think were minun, swalot, breloom, aggron, and azumarill.
my minun was awesome! it had thunder and flash, took hits all over the place and I think 1hko'd glacia's walrein.

LucaLunar August 19th, 2014 6:08 PM

I haven't played my original Sapphire game in almost 8 years, but the team I beat the elite four with was:

Blaziken (Nekizalb) lvl 100
Dodrio lvl 60
Tentacruel lvl 66
Gyarados lvl 33
Skitty (Skitit) lvl 88
Kyogre lvl 50

As you can tell, I relied on my Blaziken a lot.
