  • I always keep my Emploeon with me. He's such a powerful edition to my all water team & he's awsome looking to boot

  • I don't take my starter with me...

    sure.. it's 100 but i got my 7 boxes ful of EV trained Pokemon for Duelltower or Wifi fights, so i can't take it with me...

    it's not as strong as only one of my others.. because it is senseless to have his starter EV trained...

    My starter has to be in my party for right now. I am doing some chaining for a shiny, and I need it to help me beat the pokemon I am chaining for. I have other pokemon that could help, but my starter was with me already so I decided to use it instead of heading back to the PC to get the others.

    The starters are some of the highest stat pokemon
    there are. So I don't see the point of dissposing them.
    Plus I would hate to raise it so far just to take it out
    of my team. It would feel like a waste to me.

  • I would love to keep my Infernape in my Diamond Team but because it isn´t as good as it could be I´m going to replace it with a new Infernape. I also have Empoleon and Torterra that I use a lot but I´m going to replace them as well. XD In Pearl I end up starting with Piplup that has already evolved into Empoleon and I gotta say that it is worth keeping. : DD

  • I always do have my Empoleon on my team. Because i think it's the strongest one. Because you raised it from its starter level up to high level. And it's becoming stronger and stronger than any pokemon of your team. ^^.

  • When it comes to traveling my Torterra is my friend. In fact I take him practically everywhere. After all he was my first and was responsible for helping me catch at least half the Pokemon I have now. Although we do to battle other people once in a while, my Torterra isn't as active in the competitive setting. Instead, I'll usually take Roserade or Abomisnow.

  • I don't normally have my starter in my party just because I haven't trained him all that much since after the Pokemon League.

    However, I do use him (infernape) in the battle hall and he does pretty well there
    Moves: shadow claw, blast burn, thunder punch, and mach punch

    Yes, because if I wished to replace it then I would have to level up a replacement... :/ [is lazy.]
