Whats better, powerful Pokémon or Pokémon you like?

[Zennyo Ryūō]

Pokémon that I like. Every pokémon has its uses. Well, every pokémon apart from Luvdisc.

 

[The Hack]

Hmmm, I like Über Pokemon, so how's that? ;D

 

[Caelus]

Considering that I like tough pokemon, this is quite a tough question so I took a minute or two to think.
Okay, so apparently I prefer pokemon I like over ones that are powerful; odd, but I actually do prefer the former.

 

[RedJ]

Well, you catch Pokemon you like...and raise them. But if by 'Pokemon you like or Powerful Pokemon' you mean Wild Pokemon and Pokemon raised by a Trainer, neither. Because a Pokemon raised by a Trainer is more disicplined but a wild Pokemon isnt, though that doesnt mean neither will be powerful.

 

[Euphoric Magikarp]

I love using pokemon I like more.

 

[Akeraz]

It's as Karen says in G/S/C..
You should try to win with the pokemon you like..

I enjoy using pokemon I like, it makes it alot more fun.
Hence why I normally end up with a rather weird team by the end of the game.

Anyway, as for Bellosom and Skiploom..
I think bellosom's quite a cool pokémon anyway, Though I do prefer skiploom.

I love Powerful Pokemon, But not TOO powerful,.. UBERS meh? I hate that, People call you losers by using Legendaries... I suggest you use FEAR. I, Rahter, Love OU/BL Pokemon. ^^

 

[EagleVision1999]

Of course I use Pokemon I like.
If used good, any Pokemon can get strong and win. Even if it's a bit weaker than another, you can still win (it'a all about types and strategy, isn't it?^^)
Besides it's just a fun game...it would seem strange to me, if someone would train a Pokemon just because it's going to be powerful (unless you really wanna join a competition, then maybe)
I always have weird teams in the end^^

That's really a loser who uses legendaries. I think that I'm too because I often train only starter pokemon and other 5 are usually much weaker. Then I just catch a legendary that I've 2 good pokemon in my team.

 

[jasonresno]

Pokemon I like, definitely. I can't tell you how boring I find legendaries and all of these uber Pokemon with no personality.

 

[CombatArmsWarrior]

I prefer training pokemon that are powerful, because the powerful pokemon that I raised are mostly The pokemon I like, Like Salemence.

 

[.Ozymandias]

A bit of both; sometimes I just dislike something, yet know it is necessary to have on my team, but othertimes, I pick something that I might not need on my team just because I like it.

 

[chubb-o-wub]

Well, I tend to use the Pokemon I like, otherwise this game would get boring in the matter of five minutes. And it's fun to win with the Pokemon I use (Walrein, Abomasnow, Ice types, etc..). Actually, I like the Pokemon that the majority doesn't use.

 

[Vernikova]

I would say that it would be pokémon that I like. The reason is because those pokémon that I like can become strong through training and other things. So I wouldn't see a reason for me to get a strong pokémon that I don't like instead of a pokémon that can become strong that I do like.

 

[LethalTexture]

I disagree personally. Some of the legendary Pokemon actually have an interesting story behind them, which makes them really intriguing for me.

It depends on how you define "power". Since I battle competitively (I'm mediocre at best, mind), You don't need a Sky High Speed and Attack stats to be "powerful", in the typical sense.

 

[True Reign]

Definitely Pokemon that I like. Skarmory is a good example. It's strong, while also having an awesome defense.

 

[Verguil13]

I just go for whatever pokemon i feel like training. once in a while i'll train pokemon ive never trained before.

 

[Fate Falls]

I think there's a good middle ground between Pokemon you like and Pokemon that can stand up for themselves. Of course, it all depends on what you're doing. If you're a Pokemon trainer, than it's your job to have good, strong Pokemon. If you're a breeder like Brock though, for example, then you'd need a variety of all types of Pokemon, especially those that are rare or that have good genetics, loving personalities, and no health issues.

 

[Haza]

I suggest the standard jumpluff. It reeks havoc and is cute. I have a shiny one. It and roserade are perfect examples of beautiful but deadly pokemon.

 

[Lynnx]

I'll always go with Pokemon I like over standard 'powerful' Pokemon, though if the Pokemon I like also happen to be powerful, well, it's a win-win situation. I'm an awful competetive battler, so I'll just make a team of my favorite Pokemon to use in-game.
