  • This question has probably been asked before, but I'm so curious.

    Anyways, my question is...have you ever had a baby/cute pokemon (igglybuff, pichu, mime jr, etc.) on your in-game team?

    Do you judge pokemon on there looks too?

    Feel free to express your opinion!

  • The only "cute" Pokemon I ever had were Dragonite (if that counts) and Flareon. I mainly use cool-looking Pokemon on my teams.

    I have never used a cute Pokemon on my team. But I do care about appearance. Some back sprites are just horrid to me, like Feraligatr's in Gen III. It looked like a blob, and I'd feel stupid commanding a blob.

    I play with Gorebyss and Maquerain and I think both of them are "Cute".

    Yes I do judge some pokemon based on their looks but not very often. There are some pokemon that I get shiny simply because they look better shiny where as there are some pokemon that I think are uglier as shiny.
    Shiny Gorebyss = Awesome
    Shiny Masquerain = Ugly

    Also if I have a set of choices I'll pick whichever one I think is the best looking.
    For example when designing my Drizzle team I wanted one Water Ground type.
    Choices: Quagsire, Seismitoad, and Gastrodon.
    I ended up picking Gastrodon because I think it looks better, especially with it's pink design. (There was some strategy reasons why I picked it as well, but I do like it's pink blobby looks. Like a cute slug... if slugs were capable of being cute. lol

  • Well, I'll take a cute Pokemon on my team, as long as it does some work and does its part to participate and became strong. I don't mind having any Pokemon on my team(as long a they're not insanely ugly like a Gyarados or a Gastrodon), but they have to be able to help me in some way. I never just catch a Pokemon just because it's cute. I actually always ditch the Togepi I get in the S/G/C games. But in White I caught an Emolga. It worked great for Clay and Skyla's gyms. :)

  • I use Pokemon that are attractive to me. Attractive does not always mean cute, and I always use the final evolutionary stage of my Pokemon - I don't keep them in unevolved states. That's just not how I play, and some ingame "bosses" coughcoughREDcoughcough *REALLY* need to learn from that example.

  • If Butterfree is considered cute, they yes, I have. Other than that, I used impressive and cool-looking pokemon. And never babies. That is child abuse.

    I choose and use Pokemon that I like. For instance in my Diamond play through at the moment my team consists of Pachirisu, Roselia, Piplup, Croagunk, Drifblim and Altaria, and I beat the league with this team. Piplup, Roselia and Croagunk will never be evolved because I love them too much as they are now, and they're still just as strong and used just as much in battle as the two evolved Pokemon. ^^

  • I remembered playing with a Lv100 Roselia in Ruby.

    My team then consisted of Roselia, Pelipper, Linoone, Golduck, Breloom and Manectric. Very odd to be using the early-route Normal-type but still beat the Elite Four.

    Pretty odd team, huh?

    Yes, I ever have Pikachu as a part of my in game team. Pikachu is considered as cute, right? Since I was always prefer one hit kill (lazy for long battle), I found Pikachu was useful in game. I do judge Pokemon by looks, but I'm not regard appearance as the most important thing.

    I feel this way, except I hold no active enmity for bits of code in the game, lol.

    If it's my first playthrough of a game, I go into it blind so I just pick stuff that looks cool/cute or is a type I need and go through with it. But the second or third time when I know what's good and what isn't I may go seek out a better type and disregard looks. But after I know there are better Pokemon out there it's much harder for me to make room for the weaker but cuter ones :(
