I'll go ahead and post all the cards I've made, with a bit of explanation for each one.
:
The first team I ever beat a Pokemon game with, on Yellow version. I remember switching out the Dugtrio for Pidgeot every now and then. I did and always will prefer Hypno over Alakazam.
:
I use this team almost every time I play through 2nd gen or its remakes(in which case I evolve Togetic and Sneasel). I actually did find a shiny Sneasel on my first copy of Gold, hence its placement here.
:
The usual Sapphire team. This is where I started naming my trainer "Catz" for some reason. Delcatty proved to be quite the champ despite its horrible stats, and I loved my idea of using 3 water types with a different secondary type. I sometimes switched out Swellow for a legendary, but he is easily my fave early-game bird Pokemon. So much more awesome than Starraptor IMO.
Team for my most recent run of Platinum, my favorite Pokemon game. On my original run, I hacked in a Mantine to get him early and didn't use any fire-types. That Flareon saved my ass multiple times in this run, and Noctowl was pretty sweet too.
:
White may have been my least favorite in the series, but I like this little team I assembled. Excadrill plowed through most things that gave me trouble. Sigilyph is my favorite flying type, and Emboar is just awesome.
:
I liked Emboar enough to use it again in the 5th gen's superior sequel. This was also my first time using Ampharos, Banette, and Skarmory. Shoehorning the latter two in posed a problem, as none of these guys could Surf, so I had to box one of them whenever I needed to do so.
:
I was originally going to use only Kalos Pokemon for my run of X, but Raichu sort of shoehorned itself in early, and I had to pick up Delcatty after using it successfully in 2 other games. I'd say Clawitzer is my fave.
:
Last and certainly not least, my "main" competitive team as of right now. It may look like a questionable choice, but I've won quite a bit with these guys. Using underrated Pokemon is my specialty, after all. Sandslash in particular came all the way from my Sapphire version to join me.
Anyways, sorry for the long post, but I figured it'd ultimately be more organized than eight separate posts.
