Your Starting 6

[Khanastan]

*closes laptop screen*
A hell of a lot of Pokémon threads kicking about nowadays. There is probably no more vital a question in a Pokémon discussion than "what is your team?"
I impose, NS, this question unto you. From up to and including G3 Pokémon, one starter pokémon, no legendaries, who would you choose?

For me it is:

Typhlsion
Gardevoir
Pidgeot
Octilery
Lanturn
Hariyama

[Ifreann]

6 Magikarps.

[Mavorpen]

Fuck 6 Pokemon, I just need one Ditto.

[Yootwopia]

[Andrellian Isles]

I'd take the team I had when I beat the elite four
One level 100 Snorlax
and five other pokémons.

[Lambrinisia]

Depends on how region specific I'm being.

My current HG team is:

Crobat
Blissey
Meganium
Quagsire
Houndoom
Umbreon

[Call to power]

You' know after all these years I still remember my Pokemon-list-thing:

1) Venusaur
2) Raticate
3) Kangaskhan
4) Articuno
5) Mew 'shit on everything' two
6) A lv 232 Electrode you could catch from the cheat island

You memorise the most amazing things in school.

[Cosmopoles]

Its pretty nuts that I can still remember this -

Snorlax
Charizard
Zapdos
Alakazam
Omastar
Scyther

[Zottistan]

1. Alakazam
2. Pidgeot
3. Snorlax
4. Raichu
5. Blastoise
6. Rhydon

[Great Republicania]

I just happened to see this on the side of my screen.

[Serrland]

Pidgey lvl 2
Pidgey lvl 3
Pidgey lvl 4
Pidgey lvl 5
Pidgey lvl 6
Rattata lvl 3

[Capivara Group]

Up to G3? Boring. Here's my all time favorites.

- Dragonite
- Gardevoir
- Torterra
- Scizor
- Jellicent
- Raichu

Of course, I'll always have a spot in my heart for my very first Elite 4 beating team:
- Nidoqueen
- Articuno
- Charizard
- Pikachu
- Mr. Mime
- Victreebel

[North Wiedna]

Six pokemon I stole from the Battle Factory.

[Ovisterra]

6 Magikarps.

Close. 5 Magikarps and a Squirtle.

[Capivara Group]

6 Magikarps.

Close. 5 Magikarps and a Squirtle.

5 Luvdiscs and a Metapod.

[Edlichbury]

If allowed Gen V,

Roserade
Garchomp
Crobat
Blissey
Chandelure
Empoleon

I lean heavily on special effects and lots of poison.

Roserade brings Poison Point ability, move set Leech Seed, Extrasensory, Giga Drain, and Venoshock.

Garchomp brings Rough Skin ability, moveset Dragon Rush, Earthquake, Fire Fang, and Poison Jab because there is no such thing as to much poison.

Crobat brings Inner focus ability, moveset Zen Headbutt, Giga Drain, Hypnosis, and Sludge Bomb because poison again.

Blissey brings Serene Grace ability, using Toxic, Ice Beam, Thunder Bolt, and Psychic. Yes, poison again.

Chandelure brings Flame Body ability (I will burn you and poison you.), moveset Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Psychic, and Energy Ball.

Empoleon brings Defiant ability, moveset Ice Beam, Earthquake, Scald, and Flash Cannon. It's okay, it will burn instead of poisoning!

Otherwise, I have to find my Silver Game to look it up...

So Six Rattatta's OF DOOM!

[Blazedtown]

Level 96 Charizard
Leval 87 Venusaur
Level 74 Primeape
Level 87 Machamp
Level 78 Hitmonchan
Level 67 Golem

Kicking it old school.

[Coffee Cakes]

I roll with this team: 86 Venusaur, 87 Charizard, 84 Tyranitar, 100 Golem, 100 Pikachu, and 65 Dragonite.
That is my team on FireRed, with I've played the daylights out of.

[Samuraikoku]

I go classic:

Pikachu
Ivysaur
Charizard
Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee
Blastoise
Alakazam

[Aleckandor]

Scizor, Mudkip, Ditto, Porygon, Raichu, & Lucario. Not for any particular reason, just because.

[Crontor]

1). Sceptile
2). Huntail
3). Marcargo
4). Crobat
5). Salamence
6). Raichu

My best team, all level 100.

[Carsepolis]

What's with all the Shitachu love? Always found them pretty weak tbh.

[Parhe]

I do not really care for generations. I currently use in my most active game Vileplume, Exeggutor, Meganium, Ludicolo, Tropius, and Abomasnow. I have Black and White but I have not started them yet.

[Condunum]

I have no specific style for the first three generations, but I like having a Furret and a Pigeot.
If we were discussing later generations, having at least one Magicarp is necessary to ensure victory in any battle.
