What will your team be?

[Desert Stream~]

So there probably aren't enough pokemon to have a full team yet, But Which pokemon will you definitely have on your team? Will you use your starter, and/or legendaries?

I really want Nekoala on my team, as it 's ability is really cool. I will also use the legendaries, and of course #teampopplio

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Too early. I've only really got Rowlet as a possibility right now.

Maybe Nekkoala but it'll depend on it's evolution. My gut is telling me it won't be on my team though.

 

[Hikamaru]

I will definitely have Popplio as my starter and resident Water-type. Also, Nekkoala will be a possibility for my team especially since I am Australian and a koala would be an ideal Pokemon to use.

It's still too early to have my final team, because I'd rather see the whole Alola Dex first and hopefully there will be enough new Pokemon to win me over that I'd be convinced to use a team of only new Pokemon.

 

[L'Belle]

I will use rowlet, and I don't think I will use Nekkoala or the other dude.

 

[thedestinedblade]

lol, as of right it's something like this:

Starter: (undecided)
Regional bird
???
???
???
Hopefully not an HM Slave

 

[smocks]

Litten (and Iwanko, depends on its evolution) for sure :)

 

[Benermerut]

So far, just Rowlet.
I would love to raise an Iwanko, but, alas, he is not Grass.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

I am still not 100% sure yet. I would like to see more pokemon first before I choose. But I know I will not be using old pokemon and I will be doing a Rotation Team, which was EXTREMELY fun in Pokemon BW with all the new pokemon, even using all 3 starters on my first play through.

I really want to use Rowlet, but I want to see the regional bird first. If it looks nice and has a uncommon typing similar to Talonflame, I may use it instead of Rowlet.

 

[classiccartoonsftw]

So far, Litten is the only one confirmed for my SM team. As for other team members, I'm considering Nekkoala, Rotom, and Slowbro. I may use Iwanko if it gets a cool looking and awesome evolution, or if it can learn a lot of HM's.

 

[youngster_joey]

Litten and Iwanko, definitely. Other than that, I'm not sure.

 

[Rivvon]

Pokémon I've never used before; preferably all new Pokémon. Definitely Litten; maybe dog based on what it evolves into and what, if any, other new Rock-types there are.

 

[Hikamaru]

I knew a lot of Let's Players on YouTube who played XY using mostly only new Pokemon, and the small roster meant you mostly saw the same teams. If 7th Gen has more new Pokemon than 6th Gen I could actually see more diversity in those "new Pokemon only" rosters for this game, especially with the connecting themes the Pokemon designs have had so far.

XY's lack of new Pokémon definitely made making a team tough. And a lot of them were rarer than the overwhelming plethora of available older Pokémon, making finding what few news ones there were harder than it should have been. I genuinely hope SM doesn't share this trait with XY.

 

[novafire91]

Personally, I plan to use my old team from Poke'mon Y, which is:
1. * Rayquaza, Focus Sash.
2. Darkrai, Quick Claw.
3. * (F) Kangaskhan, Kangaskhanite.
4. * Arceus, Pixie Plate.
5. Zygarde, Earth Plate.
6. Volcanion, Leftovers.
I may use different items, depending on what new ones they create.
My name will be novafire.

 

[freakyladymoonbeam]

I'm probably going to go with Popplio because dang that thing is cuuuuuuuute. I might bring my Lopunny in from ORAS because <333333333333 Lopunny. Uh... LOL I'm probably just going to catch whatever Pokemon I see that I like, as long as they'll last me a while. I mean, I'll try to fill up the Pokedex ASAP, but... yeah. :P

 

[MrElephant]

Going to transfer all of my pokemon from the red and blue versions released from the 3ds store, so Blastoise, Venusaur, Hitmonlee, Charizard, Arcanine, and Ponyta.

That was what I didn't enjoy with XY, the fact that the new Pokemon were mostly harder to find. I hope Game Freak learned from their mistake and don't do this again in Sun & Moon, especially if we get a larger new Pokemon roster than XY had.

 

[Desert Stream~]

If we can use Rotom dex in battle, that's an instant spot on my team.

 

[khaozz]

So far, my planned team is Litten, a Water type, a Grass type, a Pokemon that can use Fly, and two other Pokemon.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

My team will likely be Rowlet, Iwanko, Nyakkoala, and three others (one of which will be a water type).
