  • Let me try to recall my original in-game team.

    Ampharos
    Scizor
    Typhlosion
    Tyranitar

    Aaaand that's all I can remember. I'll be keeping all of them, I think.

    Wow, seems like everyone that has a Typhlosion needs an Ampharos also.
    I really thought I was the only one.

    ...Creepy.

  • I honestly don't know. I'll just wait till I get the game. And when I do, I'll just adapt my team to the gameplay. But I'll try to get my old Crystal team and aim to get those Pokemon in SoulSilver.
    -Typhlosion
    -Lugia
    -Suicune
    -Raikou
    -Dragonite
    -Gyarados (Shiny)
    I just hope they didn't remove that Shiny Gyarados. It was so fun catching it and owning Red at the end with it. =D

  • It depends on what starter I choose.

    If I choose Chikorita:
    Politoad (or Corsola), Houndoom, Noctowl, Ampharos, Espeon.

    If I choose Cyndaquil:
    Jumpluff, Umbreon, Noctowl, Lanturn, Sneasel.

    If I choose Tododile:
    Houndoom, Jumpluff (or Bellossom or Sunflora), Noctowl, Ampharos, Espeon.


    (Since my Azumarill, Gyarados, Vaporeon, Mr. Mime, Gengar, and Dragonite are all level 80 or higher in my Platinum, I won't be using these in Heart Gold or Soul Silver.)

    Alternate Pokemon: Stantler (Never have used him.) Aipom (maybe), Larvitar (idk), Sudowoodo (B/c Rock moves are super effective against Ice Types.)

    Pidgeot
    Marowak
    Raichu
    Victreebel
    Nidoking

  • I don't know about the rest of the team, but I'll definitely be starting out with Cyndaquil. I used it in G/S/C and will never bother with either of the other two starters. It's not that I think they're no good or anything, but Cyndaquil is hands down my favorite starter ever.

    Me + Cyndaquil = BFFs. Totally.

  • I'm thinking of just letting my team build itself with what I catch as I progress but I might add certain ones from my original save file (that still exists(Go me!)) and maybe just add some of my favourites like Gligar/Gliscor.

    So it will probably be something along the lines of:
    -Typhlosion
    -Gliscor
    -Reddy (Shiny Gyarados) Yes, I'm going to give it the same nickname as the original.
    -Ross (Ho-oh)
    -
    -

    Not sure on last two places yet. Tyranitar, Venusaur, something from Ice Path are all possibilities.

  • i think I'm going to start with a Typhlosion. My team would be:

    Typhlosion- Starter
    Noctowl- Flyer (I always need it for my team)
    Scizor- with false swipe (catcher, though)
    Ambipom/ Gliscor/ Weavile- (if the 4th gen will be included) or Tauros
    Octillery- Surfer (essential to a team)
    Crobat- (of course, my all time fave pokemon)

    It's just from scratch.

    I am personally not to excited about HG/SS. The only reason I'm getting it is so I can say I now conquered all the regions with my Hoenn team. i started with Hoenn. So, I'll continue with Hoenn.

    But I guess I could add a Houndoom. He's my fav Johto, but I rarely use him.

  • Mm, definitely a Gatr boy here. ^^

    Feraligatr
    Crobat (instead of Noctowl, whom I used on my main DPP team due to my dislike of Staraptor)
    Red Gyarados (maybe)
    Poliwhirl/Politoed (If I don't use Red Gyara)
    Espeon
    Ampharos
    Donphan or Pilo(Mamo?)swine
