5th Gen Did you find your Monkey useful?

[Tyrantrum]

I intended on using mine (Panpour) on my main team, and I wasn't going to evolve it until it learned Crunch. But then I got a bit bored trying to train it until then, and ended up finding and using Pokémon that were better for my team. So, I just evolved it and boxed it, occasionally I'd take it out for Surf/Dive/Waterfall.

 

[Wateria]

I haven't even picked up my Pansear from the Dreamyard yet I was going to use it but kinda forgot to collect it.

 

[Cypher DS]

No use whatsoever. Mine went straight to the box.

 

[Synerjee]

Nope. I didn't know the first time I played White and tried using Pansear, but very quickly found it close to useless. BOOM. Boxed.

 

[Ice Car]

No. I don't really like the elemental monkeys. They were only good for the first gym, really.

 

[The Nightmare]

my pansage was useful for a few battles but then i boxed.

 

[rizoph]

Kinda. I used it to beat the gym leader, then evolved it. I've almost forgotten about him now! (I think it's rigged so you can't beat the leaders no matter what unless you get one monkey. Did I guess correctly?)

 

[Drgons90]

I picked Oshawott, and I didn't find Pansear useful. I just caught a Darumaka instead.

 

[Gdamatov77]

I found it to be the only useful Water-Type, (Chooses Snivy anyday), because I can't seem to find a good enough water Pokemon, though I do intend to make it become an HM slave like others after this second White 1 Runthrough.

 

[Meganium]

I got Pansear, and it was useful during the battle with Burgh. Then I evolved it to Simisear...then traded it away for a Cottonee, just to complete my Pokedex. xD

 

[Volcanix769]

I chose Panpour last year, and I only used it for the 1st gym. After that I replaced it with Tympole and it's way more useful than just a Panpour.

 

[Correspondence]

I found Simisage pretty useful.I taught it various typed moves so thats probably why.

 

[amberfunk]

My panpour was only useful for cut.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

I pretty much kicked my mokey out fairly quickly. My first play through in pokemon white I had all three starters the whole game. When I played my pokemon Black a few times,I didn't even really need the type I got.
