Nope, I'm not really a huge ampharos fan, although I used one originally, it just seems as of recently, it kinda bores me, single typed pokemon are so restricted, therefore, I plan to teach thunderbolt to my mix moved Wigglytuff :D

I used a Raichu when i played through my Japanese Copy of Soulsilver.
I'll probably use a Chinchou or something in my playthrough of the english game.
I used Ampharos way too much back in the day.

I always use one for some reason, maybe because its strong against both legendaries, and about a quarter of the gyms. And because of the dragon trainers in the game + the fact that I choose Cyndaquil so it is also effective against my rivals totadile :)

I have this weird thing about not using the Pokemon every else uses during my playthrough. I don't even understand what's so great about Ampharos to begin with (In design, and power). I'll probably choose Chikorita as my starter, since Cyndaquil seems to be really popular this time.

I don't care how many people are using a specific pokemon. The trailer says "travel with your favorite Pokemon" and Ampharos happens to be one of my favorite electric types that I haven't trained since the days of GSC. I don't care how many people are using it. I'm not going to deprive myself of using a Pokemon that I like just because a lot of other people are using it. I loved Ampharos ever since I saw Jasmine's Amphy. (And Flaaffy is adorable. ^_^) So, tl;dr version: I'm traveling with my favorite Pokemon! Who's with me? =D

(Along with Amphy, I'd like to use Smoochum, Gligar, Sneasel, Sandshrew, Teddiursa, Crobat, Ariados, Phanpy, Ledian, starters, and more. I love the Kanto Pokemon overworlds as well as the Johto Pokemon overworlds.)

You make a good point, and when I look back HeartGold and SoulSilver take place in Johto, the origin of Elekid, which happens to be my favorite Electric type Pokémon. Earlier in my first post here, I was uncertain if I would use Ampharos or not seeing as so many others were going for it. When I took a look at Elekid I noticed I wouldn't receive it without breeding it later on in the game.

In short, once I'm eligible to make trades between DPPt and HG/SS I'm just going to trade over an Elekid egg into my game so I can raise it early. It'll be my Electric Type Pokémon for my team and I'll still keep my originality as far as in-game teams go.

You can get a level 11 Elekid from the PokéWalker courses after you've walked a bit, just as a helpful hit.

Yup! I personally like the Mareep Evos. Ampharos will make a good powerhouse depending on it's nature and moves(I'm obsessed with power :) lol)

An electric type Pokemon you can catch very early in the game that evolves into quite a useful Pokemon?

Yeah, I got one.

Nope.Don't like them.

I'll either use Pikachu (Evolve solely for the E4), or Lanturn, or, if it's not got good IVs, Raikou

Sorry guys, but please don't revive threads over a month old. :\ Make sure to take a look at the date of the last post made before posting so we won't have any old and dead discussions coming back up. It's best for you to start a new topic on it if this is the case. However, with that being said, please feel free to use the What's Your Team? thread to list all or a majority of your team that you will be using in HG/SS, thank you.
