Honestly I don't think the wild Pokemon you run into/given to you are worth keeping in your party.

I have Pokemon White and I started with Oshawott and none of the Pokemon up until Route 4 (The route after Castelia) were worth keeping. Right now I only have a Dewott and a Darumaka, with my Watchog HMmule. I'm just curious as to everyone else's thoughts about this.
I'm not one who catches a Pokemon that I level up and don't keep in my party for good unless its for the Elite Four and I need a change.

What does everyone else think?

I caught a Deerling, tinking it was going to be awesome, but it wasn't, so I abandoned it. The next thing I had was an Unfezant, and it kept failing me in battle. Darmanitan was awesome, but I replaced it with a Chandelure since Candelure is , in opinion, better. The other one was Stoutland, which got replaced by Mienfoo, but Stoutland is really good! I replaced Unfezant with Haxorus and Sawsbuck with Elektross.

I think some Pokemon are definitely worth keeping for a while, but if something better comes up and you really want it on your team, I'd replace it.

I caught a Lillipup on Route 1, but took him out of my party around the 3rd/4th gym. The next pokemon I got that I kept was my Panpour, Monagua. I kept him until after I beat the E4, so he's now a Lv47 Panpour (I hate, hate, HATE the monkey trios' evolutions, so I don't plan on evolving any of them.)

I was thinking about getting Blitzle but I've seen/heard that Galvantula or Elektross were better depending on the way your team is built.
I tried lvling a Tympole when I had Tepig as my starter but he just seemed so weak.
Yeah I'm tempted by Eelecktross a lot, but I just love Zebstrika's design so much more, haha.

Um hmm. Well I used Samuwott up until after the Elite 4/N before I replaced it with Terrakion. My second Pokemon I kept was the Fire Monkey but I abandoned it at level 45 (so the 6th Gym for me) so I could start training an Axew.

So I guess the first and second Pokemon that I caught which are still currently in my party would have to be Scraggy and Sigilyph.

The first Pokemon I kept after Oshawott was my lovley Woobat, who is part of my final team <3 I had a tough decision between Woobat and Solosis, but by choosing Woobat I could have a six-party team instead of my usual five-party team.

For Black, it was my Purrloin. Biggest mistake of any of my Pokémon games. Liepard has horrible movepool (or at least with attacks it can, well, actually learn before the E4) and does NOT pull its own weight... ended up replacing with Reshiram. :/

For White, it was the Deino & Mienfoo that I bred and transferred over. =P

When I ran into my Petitlil in the wild. It's now an HP-sucking Liligant! :D
I love my Liligant! :D I still have it in my team - one of the best in there.

Anyways, getting back on track... ^^;

My 2nd pokemon originally was patrat, but i took him out after the 2nd gym because i needed more benefiting types T_T (normal types dont get enough credit imo) but Blitzle is still with me (had him in my team since I caught him). Although I'm thinking of switching him out for another pokemon - havent beaten the game yet, so I haven't established my true team D:

I have about ten Pokemon in rotation for my party, because there are too many awesome ones in Gen. V. The first one of these (after Snivy) was Simipour, which I received at the Dreamyard, and a Munna shortly followed. The Simipour is currently my primary water type and surfer, despite being about five levels lower than the rest of my team.
