Question of the Day

[Wicked3DS]

I used two Sharpedos on a team in Ruby before. For whatever reason, I was able to beat the Elite Four when I added the second one, so I guess that worked out :P

 

[pkmin3033]

Have you ever used more than one of the same Pokemon on your team?

Yes! I actually ran through SoulSilver using a team made up entirely of Rattata once. I was very bored, and I'd literally NEVER used Rattata before, not even in Red when I didn't know that it wasn't a good idea to try using Pidgeotto in Lt. Surge's Gym. Hyper Fang, Quick Attack and the fact that Team Rocket used them always put me off. But I had a "why the hell not?" moment and caught six of the little buggers to use. That playthrough was in the top percentage of all my playthroughs.

Have you ever used more than one of the same Pokemon on your team?

Nope! But a team of Giratina is the dream.

 

[Winter]

Nah I've never. I always like to treat my Pokemon as though they are the most special and unique gems in the universe so I wouldn't want more doppelgängers of them. Exception to Ditto since it doesn't count xD

Maybe I'll go make a team of Dittos lol

 

[GilliTheFabulous]

Hmm...No. Never used the same pokemon on my team.

If I did, well let's just say that my team would be super weak against water, ghost, and dark types. And since that bothers me, no team of six Chandelures for me. T.T

Wait, does a team of level 100 Linoones with pickup, all the hms(well most of them), and is only used during the post game count?

 

[Crystal Berry]

Had a team of all Pikachu's because that thing is just too adorable. :3

 

[Raskolnikov]

Current Question:

Have you ever used more than one of the same Pokemon on your team?

Nope, I haven't. Seriously, I just thought about it and realized I've never use same pokémon more than one in any party.
But except special games on Showdown of course. ex: Metronome Battle or Wobbuffet Challenge.

 

[KetsuekiR]

Have you ever used more than one of the same Pokemon on your team?
Never :o I like having diversity and honestly, unless it's a specific challenge, why would you? xD There are a ton of Pokemon so that you can have a ton of Pokemon! :P

 

[Sopheria]

Now that I'm thinking about it, going through the game with six of the same Pokemon seems like it would make a fun challenge! If I did that and had to choose one, it'd be either Mawile or Florges, of course :3

 

[Shukawariosenpai]

Have you ever used more than one of the same Pokemon on your team?

Nah. I find it tacky.

 

[esperance]

Have you ever used more than one of the same Pokemon on your team?

I don't think I could ever use more than one of a Pokémon. When I play the games I like to make very specifically diverse teams, and using two or more of a species has never even crossed out my mind. (Yes, I'm the type to plan out my entire team before playing the game.)

 

[Otamajakushi]

Have you ever used more than one of the same Pokemon on your team?

Absolutely. I once thought it was a good idea to have 3 Wailord on my team for when I was grinding in Restaurant Le Wow. (It was)

 

[Sylphiel]

» Have you ever used more than one of the same Pokemon on your team?

Not that I recall at all. I don't think the thought of doing so has ever come to my mind. :X I just...don't really see the point of it, at least not with how I play (wanting different types on my team and all that). Maybe for training purposes if I have a "better" one and I want to replace the one I already have on my team, but other than that...I got nothin'.

Oh man, did you do the triple battles? I'm just imagining 3 Wailords in one tiny little restaurant xD

Question of the Day

Would you like the main series games any more/less if they were on consoles instead of handhelds?

[pkmin3033]

Would you like the main series games any more/less if they were on consoles instead of handhelds?

Less. I have always been a handheld gamer first and foremost - due in no small part to Pokemon. Pokemon Colosseum and XD weren't bad games by any means, but they were awful compared to the handheld titles, because they cut so many corners. They COULD have given us a proper version, but instead they watered it right down and made it a linear, thoroughly-dull story driven experience. Sure, it'd look prettier, but who cares? The 3D models they're using in the 3DS games are flat and ugly and overly polished; the sprites were rougher but had a lot more charm; they fit Pokemon perfectly.

But let's assume for a wild moment that they wouldn't do that again, and they'd make a proper mothership title on the Wii U, with routes and badges and everything else that makes Pokemon...Pokemon. You wouldn't be able to trade between your versions unless you had two consoles, for starters. You wouldn't be able to take it outside and battle with your friends; as bad as Streetpass is, it's a lot better than Miiverse. Portable connectivity is a huge part of Pokemon and, of course, that'd be taken out if you put it on a console.

In short, Pokemon is a series that I feel is betst suited to handhelds, and I can't see a console version ever being very satisfying.

 

[Hikamaru]

Would you like the main series games any more/less if they were on consoles instead of handhelds?

I would probably like the main games less if they were on console considering I did not grow up as a Nintendo gamer plus it kinda defeats the purpose of Pokemon's meaning. It's supposed to be monsters you store in your pocket, and a typical handheld console can fit in the pocket so it's explainable and to have it on a console wouldn't make it so "pocket" anymore.

 

[Sun]

Would you like the main series games any more/less if they were on consoles instead of handhelds?

Less. I like taking my Pokémon with me wherever I go. :) As Nichole said, it isn't Pocket Monsters if the core games aren't handheld consoles exclusive anymore.

 

[Crystal Berry]

Less, the main Pokemon games are meant for handhelds in my opinion.

 

[DraconianWing]

I would most likely like the series the same of the games were on console, but there would be a smaller time frame for me to be able to play them. Pokemon is great in the sense that it's mainly developed for handhelds; it's convenient especially of you travel/like to move around a lot. That mobility is something that home consoles simply cannot match, despite having better hardware to compensate for it. On console, the time you have to play the game could be limited by a number of factors, like sharing the TV, how much time you actually spend in your living room etc.

 

[Sopheria]

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, being on consoles would mean they'd have improved graphics and would in general be on a more powerful platform. On the other hand, being on handhelds means you can play them on the go (which as Hika and Sun said, fits with Pokemon being Pocket Monsters and all). All in all I'd rather see the main series games remain handhelds, because it's a tried and true formula, but I'd also still like to see more spin-offs on consoles a-la Pokemon Coliseum ^^
