Nevermind that a) collecting eggs is how you get some Pokemon and b) having to find, weaken and capture Pokemon often has you running back and forth in order to get the ones you want.

Yeah, weren't eggs introduced in Gen 2? And shinies, for that matter? Plenty of people go their whole gaming lives without shiny-grinding once.

I said collecting eggs isn't content, which is different from collecting pokemon which is content.

Content is not gameplay. Putting 2 pokemon in day care and riding your bike back and forth might be content but it sure isn't gameplay.

You literally called it content SPECIFICALLY like three pages ago, you goldfish.

No my pokerinos! Don't tell me how bad they are and I'm a man child! Just get hyped for the next game and pretend the series hasn't been a declining train wreck for decades! Pokemon go saved the series from collapsing.

I don't know how this has to do with you posting over 100 messages within 2 days but hey, we now can add illiterate to the list of things you are.

Given that we're in a bit of a post announcement lull I though maybe we could do something fun. If you were to make your personal favorite Pokémon team, what 6 would you pick? This can be based on any criteria you like, everything from their design to their competitive viability. Doesn't matter if they are all legendaries or all baby Pokémon. I'm just curious what kind of diversity we'll get in answers.

My 6 would be:

Spoiler: Pictures Included

Torterra

Blaziken

Heracross

Steelix

Gardevoir (Barely beats out Gallade)

Regigigas

Lame.

My dream team would consist of:

Blaziken (He's a personal ace of mine)

Jumpluff (one of my favorite Grass types next to victreebel, Cradily and Ferrothorn)

Beedrill (favorite bug type)

Banette (favorite ghost type)

Luxray (favorite Electric type and is a total beast with guts)

Slowking (my favorite psychic and water type)

 

[Love Machine]

Mega saybleye

Grimmsnarl

Hatreem

Beheeyem

Abomasnow

And zapdos.

Theme of the team is pretty obvious.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Hydreigon

Jolteon

Braviary

Milotic

Scolipede

Arcanine/Ninetales (can't decide which)
--
I really wish Pokemon let you have bigger teams.

 

[Disc]

Mine would be Weavile,

Volcarona,

Aggron,

Reuniclus,

Naganadel,

and either Leafeon or Shaymin

There's quite a few pokemon I could swap in here.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

I honestly don't know given my team changes practically every game/play-through, but I absolutely need to have an Azumarill on my team. Close second for a must-have may be a Bellossom or Vileplume, and Altaria. The other three can be whatever I want.

I like the choices, and they stand out from the others, but somehow this makes you sound like someone who always has to have an umbrella in your mocktail. It's a very fruity mix.

I don't get it.

 

[Reshiram Battle.mp3]

Ah, don't do this to me, I have too many favorites...

Serperior (first starter i ever took with me to hall of fame. cynthia was too much for my brainlet younger self but i did actually beat pkmn black)
Archeops (looks cool, is a dinosaur)
Dracozolt (it looks so fucking stupid i need to have this affront to god)
Flygon (one of my favorite designs, dragonflies are one of my favorite bugs and it takes it literally without an awful type)
Hydreigon (obligatory pseudo-legend)
Tyrantrum (it's a t rex, very cool)

tried to keep a lizard-y theme, runners-up outside of that are scizor, scolipede, and either golisopod or galvantula. bugs are neat but their type is absolute ass, unfortunately.

 

[likeacrackado]

Personal favorites team:

Spoiler: Team w/pics

Aggron

Torterra

Feraligatr

Butterfree

Tyanitar

Metagross

First three are very solid. The other could be substituted for about 10 others. I also like Charizard, but I'm tired of looking at it so I left it off.

 

[EnemyStand]

The Ultimate Dream Team I'd run:

Serperior- High King of the Smug
Skarmory- IT'S A BIRD MADE OF SWORDS!
Stoutland- The Best Boi With the Best Mustache
Magnezone- AKA the Only DP Pokemon That Matters
Alakazam- Mega pick With All The Beard AND All The Spoons
Gyarados- Big Snek, No Slouch in the 'Stache Department

EDIT: Honestly, not a bad aggro team. Skarmory as a lead,Contrary Serperior Special Sweeper, Gyarados can smash Special Walls, Magnezone traps Steel Types and checks Fairies, Alakazam as a revenge killer, AND STOUTLAND'S MUSTACHE IS UBER TIER DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS HE BEST BOI DOGGO!

Are people still divided on the chibi style lol

Probably, but the initial strong emotions are over, and now people are leaning in to it for gags.

Oh boy this is going to be interesting to see what weird fetish art smol dawn brings upon us.

It's mostly going to be impossible shortstacks/busty loli, I'm guessing.

X Files:pokemon would be pretty based.

Steel monotype is a personal favorite of mine. Unfortunately it doesn't have much leeway for team slot.

Heatran - I hate this thing, but flash fire is pretty much essential.
Skarmory and Celesteela - Dodge earthquake. I haven't play gen 8 so unfortunately no opinion on Corviknight.
Mawile - Intimidate and Fairy Steel is the best defensive typing so there's that. Decent mega to punch holes into teams before it inevitably got killed due to sucker punch being a shit priority move.
Necrozma DM - A very strong pokemon all around. This one is a little cheating since it's no longer steel type after it go ultra, but what gives. I like Lilie as a character so "Nebby" always got a spot on my team.
Aegislash - Personal favorite.
