    How many Pokemon do you like using in your party?
    I've noticed that it seems to be pretty hard to keep your Pokemon balanced, and yet strong, while using all 6 Pokemon.

    I tend to really only use 3 or 4 Pokemon or so. I'll use more if I like more and they would help, but if not, then nope.
     
    I will use 6 pokemon in party cause some of them may help when my awesome pokemon dead~
    or sometime i lose control and i juz choose 1 pokemon as my party, become a great solo-er challenger :)
     
    I like using two pokemon, but if there 're not available the pokemon that I want I may choose more.
     
    I always use 6 pokemon. It takes me a while to catch all 6 that I want for my team but always have 6 pokemon by the 3rd-4th gym usually. Wish I could have more. >__<
     
    I always have all six party slots filled, once I catch my sixth Pokémon early on in the game. Every so often, I would box an older Pokémon that I caught early on in my journey in favor of something I just caught that had been sent to the PC box. Of course, it's difficult to have a well-balanced team with the limit of six, especially now that there's 18 types (even back in Generation I, where there was just 15, it was still difficult). Among the types I usually would have in my party are: Flying, Electric, Rock/Ground, Water (or Water/Ice), and Grass.
     
    I use all six slots. I usually don't train all my Pokémon at once, though; I do them one-by-one. When I'm done training one Pokémon, I'll move onto the next. Once I'm done with that one, I'll move onto another.
     
    I plan out my team at the start of each of my playthroughs, and once I catch that sixth pokémon, I keep that team of six all the way through to the end.
     
    It depends for me. I usually use 6, but for my White version, I only had 5.
     
    Depends on the generation.

    In 4th Gen (namely Sinnoh) I tend to have one HM Slave (mainly a Bibarel) and the other five being main attackers. 5th and 6th Gen though, I pretty much kept all my party members being main battlers and not filling a specific HM purpose, by splitting the HMs between team members.
     
    I usually have a full party, but only really rely on a core group of about 4 with the other 2 being just filler.

    For example, In BW, my team was Chanduler, Stoutland, Conkeldur and Krookodile. I used those guys the most. The other guys where there because I needed them on me, which was Tranquil, and Vanilluxe. Tranquil, because I ALWAYS have a Flyer on my team.. and Vanilluxe because there was so many dragons to deal with. Granted I would swap one of them out for a "guest character" like I used a Druddigon for the Dragon Gym to assist Vanilli.. and a Ducklett for the Ground Gym.. as well as the occasional HM roadblock.

    Its funny, but it seems like I almost never carry my Starter all the way through anymore.. well, except in XY. After I get them fully evolved, I tend to mothball them.
     
    I use a lot of pokemon, sometimes i use all of my pokemon from the PC too and just swap. But i mostly use 12-18 pokemon, with 3 sets of 6 that i change from time to time.
     
    I try to always have six in my party, even if I don't regularly use all of them, since I don't like catching a weak Pokemon and having it there right away.
     
    Usually, in Generation III I would only use like 3-4 Pokémon on some occasions to zip through the game. Sometimes five.

    But in Generation IV I would often use five or six, five often in HGSS, six in DPPt. And in my early playthroughs of BW I usually used five, but when playing through BW2 I almost always had a full team of six.

    When I first played through X, I used quite a few different Pokémon but there were six I settled on in the end. That game just wants you to use tons of stuff.
     
    I tend to keep my party full, but I usually only use about 3 of the Pokemon in it, I don't usually have a team planned, I just go with what I get and swap out if I get something better. Like, I had a Butterfree in Y, but I ended up swapping it for Lapras which ended up being more essential (I had a pretty overpowered team at that point, mind you. Lucario, Blaziken, Venusaur, Delphox, and Pidgeot, so Butterfree became a place holder until I got something better, really.)
     
    I like using all 6 slots (or if there we more slots, fill them in). Even if I caught a Pokemon I don't mind going back to the Pokemon Center to check out info. Also per DowntownDumpling.
     
    Most games I try using the full party of 6 to my advantage by training them equally, though I did make use of an HM Slave in Platinum, and swapped it out for Uxie once I hit the Elite Four.

    I've tried a new strategy in Y though, where I've got 8 Pokemon that are interchangeable parts in my team, and are dependant on what Gym Leader I'm facing, etc. By the time I make it to the Elite Four, I'll expect to have figured out my top 6, based on both their typings, and how much I've liked using them.
