Post Your Pokemon Dream Team!

[BanthaFodder]

Greetings fellow Escapists! I've been working on a Pokemon Dream Team (kinda moot since B&W comes out in 2 months, but still) and I was looking for some feedback.
So far, my team will consist of:
Aggron ("Sergei")- knows Head Smash, also has Rock Head
Slowking ("King Hippo")- knows Trick Room
Porygon Z ("Flynn")- general annoyance (ie. Ice Beam, Recover, other troll moves)
Hitmonlee ("Kato")- just a fighting type

this is all I've got so far. I'm attempting to cover as many types as I can. I'm thinking of maybe Gengar or Nidoking along with maybe Salamence.
Feedback and advice greatly appreciated.
Anyone else have a dream team they'd like to share with the class?

 

[Shock and Awe]

I only use Gen 1!

Charizard
Gyarados
Venusaur
Jolteon
Onyx
Gengar

 

[Arehexes]

Well I'm doing a LP right now and I've mostly used a Squrtle(and it's evos and Nidoran(and it's evos), I just got a growlthie and jolteon. But my dream team must have Skitty in it >:O

 

[mynameisphil]

I only really need two Pokemon for my dream team. The rest are whatever I feel like at the moment. But it must include squirtle (no evolution, just squirtle) and Garydos.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I only use Gen 1!

Charizard
Gyarados
Venusaur
Jolteon
Onyx
Gengar

With only first gen moves? Or are you not that shallow?

OT: My dream team is my actual team and this is excluding Gen V cause I havent gotten to use any yet, but I'm kinda scared to because its so switched that my convetional teams now will be rendered useless. But here's my A team. The other two are just my back ups and stuff to keep things fresh.

Vaporeon Bold Nature
-surf
-Ice beam
-Wish
-Toxic

Typhlosion Rash Nature
-Flamethrower
-thunderpunch (I cheated to get it, but its a legal move)
-Earthquake
-Focus Blast

Dragonite Rash Nature
-Outrage
-Earthquae
-Ice Beam
-Flamethrower (though I may make this Thunderbolt, kinda depends on who I battle)

Lucario Mild Nature
-Stone Edge
-Dark Pulse
-Psychic
-Close Combat

Venasuar Modest Nature
-Petal Dance
-Energy Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Earthquake

Weavile Jolly Nature
-Ice Punch
-Brick Break
-Night Slash
-Aerial Ace

 

[TerranReaper]

Tyranitar with Sand Stream and Leftovers.
Level 1 Aron with Gen 5 Sturdy and Shell Bell, the moves would be Endeavour and Taunt.

The Aron will absolutely sweep your Level 100 team. =P

In all seriousness though, my team would probably be a Gen 5 Rain Dance team. Too lazy to construct one though, much less a half decent one.

I'll post mine tomorrow. However, you've instantly got a problem - Salamence and Nidoking are both very weak to stuff like Ice, Water etc.

Ah, true... hm... well I've got Slowbro as a partner with Aggron (Trick Room+Head Smash+Rock Head=Maximum Damage), I've got Porygon and Hitmonlee as general backup (Hitmonlee would have moves like Fire Kick, Porygon would know Ice Beam and such), so they can handle a variety of stuff... I'm thinking of poison... maybe a poison type with some fire moves (can't Nidoking learn Fireblast or something?) and also maybe a Froslass or Sabeleye...

 

[FutureEnergy60]

My Team would consist of:
Flygon
Ampharos
Reuniclus
Milotic
Porygon-Z
Chandelure

Of course, I'm definatley more of a non-legendary person.

My favorite team is the one I had from my Pokemon Yellow days, without legendaries:

If legendaries count, then I'd substitute Blastoise for Mewtwo.

Are you doing imports from other games or not?

If they're allowed, there is no reason why Garchomp shouldn't be on this team.
Also, starmie- surf, ice beam, t-bolt, psychic/grass knot/recover

If you're going with the whole slow pokemon thing (a bad idea btw) I recommend both conkeldurr and scrafty. Also, something like magneton that throws t-wave around

Not a huge fan of the games (combat is immensely slow, even for a turn based game) but I might pick em up again.

really? If you know what you're doing you can run through most encounters in one turn per enemy pokemon. Only the Gym battles take long and that's because they're boss fights.

Hell, the only time it seems slow is during some competitive matches, where people switch a ton or use stall teams.

 

[Tanis]

TEAM EEVEE!

One of the best things to happen with Pokemon is the new EEVEE evolution.

It's magical!

It's just watching the drawn out attack animations (the bigger attacks take forever) waiting for the HP bar to go down (if they have a big health bar, it goes down very slowly) and after that, flip through text telling you your opponent is dead (thanks captain obvious, never would have guessed) and then you see your experience bar go up.

It's tedious, I guess I am used to Shin Megami Tensei turn based combat (Devil Survivor in particular features lightning fast turn based combat)

Oh that. It would be nice to have an animations off button or something. I'm just used to the more streamlined competitive stuff.

Am I the only person on the planet that saw the option to turn off attack animations in the options menu of Pokemon games?

haha. I guess so.

I agree with Tizzy though. Shorter animations would be nice. Like with what pokemon show down does. It still keeps all the animations, but they're more streamlined.

I think I made it clear that it is really just my personal preference. I like how the health bar goes down because it creates a sort of tension: I don't see the number of damage I do but only a percentage, it can be a surprise when I get a critical strike or it can be even better when I expect the stone edge to do only ~30% damage when it suddenly hits and the bar goes down and down and down for over 40% and I have to realise: Fuck, it is choice banded...

The flow of Pokemon battles is slower, yeah, but it creates just another level of immersion for me. Even in comparison with your video I have the feeling that the combat is just more fluent for me.

Personal preference... I don't even want to imply that you are wrong on your stance, you aren't.

personally, I'd like the Pokemon battles to have an option that looked like this:

[Rylee Fox]

The best team I ever had was way back in Gold Version. Not Heart Gold, the original Gold.

Lugia
Venusaur
Blastoise
Flareon
Jolteon
Aerodactyl

In my many, many, many battles with that team vs both CPU opponents (Stadium 2, when they can actually be difficult) and players, I never lost once. Much of the time I could just open with Lugia and sweep my opponents entire team. Even freezing it solid wasn't good enough, its leftovers kept it alive long enough to thaw out and take you down.

My rule when battling was only 1 legendary allowed on your team. Too many players would just have teams with nothing but legends and that doesn't show if you are good as a trainer or not, only that you use the strongest ones you can find. Using pokemon that aren't legends are the real test. Everyone hates Flareon because it doesn't have the best stats but you will never see me without one on my main team.

 

[Euryalus]

I only use Gen 1!

Hipster XD Gen 2 and 3 are fine too. Never played Gen 4 and Gen 5 was meh for at least half of them...

OT: I like having

Gengar
Raichu
Marowak
Feraligator
Umbreon
Raticate

This would only be my ideal team if we're not talking about in-game stats. I just like how they look

Everyone hates Flareon because it doesn't have the best stats.

I hate Flareon because it means I passed up the chance to have the infinitely superior Umbreon
Seriously though, Flareon's alright. It is a shame its stats are so awful for what it is

 

[Euryalus]

My Team would consist of:
Flygon
Ampharos
Reuniclus
Milotic
Porygon-Z
Chandelure

Hey you're new! Welcome! avoid the basement yadda yadda... May I ask why porygon-2? Most people I know think porygon and p2 are stupid looking

[sub][sub][sub] I like how he looks though [/sub][/sub][/sub]
