    I generally take it upon myself to use at least a few Pokemon from whichever generation of game I am playing. With Galar however, for some reason I didnt make any strong connections with any of the Pokemon in Galar. My team is set as of the completion of the 3rd gym, and I think it will remain the same, and as it stands I have no Pokemon from Galar on my team. To contrast, in Omega Ruby, I only used Pokemon from Hoenn in my playthrough.

    Have any of you ever felt the same way about a particular generation?, or even Galar?
     
    My team was only Galar Pokémon and I felt my team was okay at best. I wanted to say I starting using only new Pokémon (besides BW) in Kalos but I wasn't a fan of Pangoro and used Scrafty instead. I did do it in Alola though!

    Overall, Galar was a mixed bag for me. While there are a few Pokémon that became some of my favourites, many feel forgettable and even some are my least favourites.
     
    6, assuming Galarian Rapidash counts. I always try to build a team of new Pokemon. I can relate to not being able to make connections with Pokemon in a new generation - it takes time for them to start feeling like Pokemon - but there happened to be enough Pokemon in Galar I did immediately connect with for my own individual reasons. (Inteleon because I was drawn towards the underdog factor, Yamper because I've always wanted a corgi Pokemon, Alcremie because the flavor gimmick is so cool, G-Ponyta/Rapidash because Ponyta has always been one of my favorite underrated Pokemon, and Dracozolt - well, all the fossils, really - because I love weird Pokemon. Come to think of it, I did have some trouble deciding on a 6th slot...)

    In my current file all 3 of my Pokémon are Galar-mons (Scorbunny, Skwovet, Blipbug). I usually don't care about using Pokémon purley based on which region they were introduced in though, so the next 3 Pokémon on my team could be from previous regions.
     
    Everytime I play through the game for the first time I only use Pokemon that have first appeared in that game so I used all six to beat the game. However now I have beaten the game and can transfer from Home I am not using any.
