I didnt in the original game because they are reallt weak, but I dont mind fighting them whenever someone else have them.
 
If they have pseudo-starters in the next generation, I'd like them to be useful. The elemental monkeys were good to have around during the first few gyms, but they lose their usefulness by the time you get around the fifth gym because, by then, you already have better Pokémon. I really liked their designs, though. They looked pretty cute to me. =)

I think Simisage is the only decent looking of the final evolutions in my opinion. Simipour's eyes look odd and Simisear looks like it's gotten high off of marijuana.

They were included in the game as a means to counter Cilan/Cress/Chili for Trio Badge, but their usefulness diminishes as you progress through the game.
 
Honestly, I had a BITTER hatred for all of them except for Pansage, who was mediocre if that. The Simis are horrible, not very good move sets and unbearably ugly. The Pans are a little less ugly, Pansage being the exception, who is decent. I was mad these Pokemon even saw the light of day.
 
I loved them :) Specially Pansage and Simisear. Note the Simi and Pan differences.
 
I personally hated the idea. Don't get me wrong, psudo-starters are not a bad idea, and I love how Gen 6 are making Gen 1 starters into Gen 6-Psudo starters. But these monkeys are kinda lame, and I don't feel that they don't belong in the Pokemon world except to make a game that's already easy even easier. Lose the monkeys, gimme better Pokemon!
 
I think it was really neat that they did something like this. I'm not too crazy about them, though. I don't know, it's probably just their designs and the fact that I see them as mediocre.
 
I enjoyed these monkeys. although I never used them,I liked the fact that you get some aid with the first gym.
 
Hated them, but I'm glad they refined the idea in X&Y.
 
I personally found these pokémon to be very weak, and after beating the first gym I gave up on them, and stored them in a box.I do like the concept, but the designs and the overall weakness (or maybe I just suck.) of the pokémon drives me away from using them.
 
I loved Pansage in the anime, and I admit it solely defeated Cress in White, when my Tepig couldn't quite cut it. But other than that, I'm not a huge fan. I think they could have made them less cartoon-like.

The speak/see/hear no evil theme is pretty cool though, and the gym leader trio changing and using them is also a cool thing. I just don't use the monkey I get much after that city.
 
No. They're all messes imo.
Weak, ugly design, and overall just pointless except for an HM slave
 
I'm using Simipour in my current run of White, and I really love it so far. It has really nice attacking stats and is also very fast for in game use. In my first run of White, I tried using Simisage. I honestly didn't like it very much. It was very defensive/stall based and I just couldn't find a place for it in my in game team. Overall, I do quite like the idea of them. It helps you complete the Fire/Grass/Water defensive core very early on in the game and they're also all adorable XD
 
The general idea wasn't bad at all!
I just wasn't fond of the actual Pokémon at all. I'm generally not too fond of Monkeys and neither of these three appealed to me.
Didn't use mine during the story mode and I doubt I'll ever use them at any later time. : (
