What will your team be?

[Sabrewulf238]

Show of hands, who's going to nickname your Yungoose "Trump" and just make him your HM slave?

Possibily nobody if HMs have been removed in favour of service Pokemon.

 

[Mardovelin]

i'll most likey be using popplio, mimikkyu, lurantis. and if salandit, cutiefly and iwanko [idk its english name] get good evolutions, they'll earn a spot too.
i may swap out cutiefly for an alolan vulpix or exeggutor because yes.
i'd also like an alolan raichu but i'm not sure yet, maybe i'll get a shiny chu and evolve it post game..?

Make Hidden Machines great again!

Make Hidden Machines great again!

As if they were ever great. Honestly, the only "great" HM's are Surf, Waterfall, and to an extent Fly and Dive.

 

[xWolfiex]

Update:

Rowlet
Rockruff
Vikavolt
Salandit
Wishiwashi
?

 

[Thunderflare]

I'll be trying a wide variety of Pokemon, so I can't confirm my final team. But I will not be able to resist another Zubat. I always catch a Zubat.

 

[Mardovelin]

Iwanko's English name is Rockruff. :> It's really cute!

Also I'd love to see what a shiny Alolan Raichu would be like. o.o Hopefully it's not a gross colour.

ah, thanks. i don't really like its english name so that's why i forgot.

and knowing pokémon it'll probably get the slightest colour change like raichu. >->

 

[Rivvon]

Litten
Fomantis -> Lurantis
Pyukumuku (if it evolves, I really hope it stays cute...)
Cutiefly
Oricorio Baile -> Sensu
Rockruff (subject to change)
(all technically tentative)

 

[manfromjohto]

Rowlet
Mimikyu
Vikavolt
Mudsdale
Drampa
Ninetales
Exeggutor (Rotation)
Marowak (Rotation)
Sensu Oricorio (Rotation)
Persian (If we get an Alolan form, Rotation)


This will definitely change alot because I love most of these new designs. I'll probably love the ones yet to be revealed too

 

[Entermaid]

Okay Gamefreak. I am likely going to preorder both games and make two completely different teams. And, I am likely to use two grass pokemon per team, but at least lurantis appearance gives it a bug typing (plus it is mostly pink) so it will not seem like two grass pokemon will be on a team, the same goes for Bounsweet, who is mostly pink. Those two will be on different teams. Aside from having a grass, water, and fire type I like to have different colored pokemon. After those games, I will need to do an Alohan Forme Team.

Starters:
Popplio --> ??? --> Poppmaid
Rowlett --> ??? --> Robinhoot

Finalized:
Fomantis --> Lurantis
Mudbray --> Mudsdale
Bruxish

Depends on evolution(s):
Bounsweet --> ???
Pyukumuku --> ???
Rockruff --> ???
Cutiefly --> ???
Morelull --> ???
Comfey --> (only if it evolves!)

Alohan Team:
Ninetails
Raichu

I can see myself using a full team of Alola mons for my first run, but for my second playthrough I'll most definitely be using some of the new Alolan forms of the older Pokemon. It's crazy how much things change with each new reveal, it's like I've only got two spaces left and there is probably still more than half of the new Pokedex yet to see.

 

[Sgt. Heracross]

You know, I had always pictured Litten being on my team. But if it's evolution sucks, I'm going with Rowlet. Then again, with Litten potentially being cast out, I could try using Alolan Marowak or Salandit because those guys look awesome. And I might have to break my "No Legendaries" rule for my team this time because of Solgaleo. I mean, it's a freaking alchemy lion. How cool is that?! I can't pass that up.

I am sure Lurantis is a pure Grass-type, which I know some people are confused about but at least it won't have any nasty 4x weaknesses.

I feel the same way as you too, because every time there's a new reveal I always feel at least one new Pokemon in said reveals win me over and make me have to reconsider my team again, which the non-Rowlet Grass-types have been proving to me so far (I always use a Grass/Fire/Water trio when I can get it) and even then if I wasn't Team Popplio I would have almost considered Pyukumuku as an alternative Water-type.

 

[PokeHunterBlack]

Originally, i had the popplio line, pikipek line, salandit, mimmikyu, Vikivolt and one other, but with Alola forms it has become this;

Popplio line, Mimmikyu, Marowak, (The Majestic) Ninetales, Lurantis and the Pikipek line, as a final team of course.

I am playing with a different team each island but this is my final trial team (unless something else catches my eye).

 

[Rai]

There aren't enough Pokemon released yet for me to fully decide... I know for a fact that I am going to have two teams. One entirely made up of new Alola Pokemon and another composed of the Alola forms of older Pokemon.

But I am definitely going to make Rowlet my starter and have an Alola Raichu <3

 

[GayGayerson]

There's almost TOO many amazing Pokemon this time around. I don't dislike any of them so it's gonna be hard, especially since not all of them have even been revealed yet! But for now I'm leaning towards:

Popplio

Mimikyu

Oricorio (Pom Pom Style)

Drampa

Bewear

Shirodesuna

I'm also considering Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Exeggutor, Alolan Marowak and Alolan Raichu. Oh, and if the Chinese leak is true (which it almost definitely is) I'm pretty much positive I'm gonna have the ice/ghost snowman on my team.

 

[Hikamaru]

Kinda want to know what this supposed snowman would look like in design before considering it on my team. I wonder if it's just going to be just pure Ice type or something else with a fancy ability...

I know one of the major leaks said it was going to be an Ice/Ghost-type. I really hope that is true because I love Froslass already and I know how interesting of a type combination it is.

 

[90210]

Since I am getting both versions I now plan to use a team of gen 7 only Pokemon on one and a team of alolan forms on the other.

Exactly what I am thinking right now. I mean why not

 

[blue]

If they reveal a Dolphin Pokemon then it will be going straight on my team. I'm choosing Litten as my starter, I already have Lurantis planned as a Grass-type member so I'm just waiting for a viable Water-type to complete that type trio. 8)

 

[classiccartoonsftw]

Speaking of dolphins, when I was younger, I though Gulpin looked like a dolphin.
