Advice?

I just bought Pokemon Emerald and I wanted some advice of what Pokemon my team should consist of. What Pokemon should I train? I have already decided some Pokemon but if you think I shouldn't get train convince me. :P Alright here are the ones I am getting:

Torchic
Ralts
Trapinch
Lotad
Aaron

*I don't care about Natures so please don't give me advice on that*

Again if you think I should train one of the Pokemon listed above tell me which I should train instead. I need a well rounded team that will be for Frontier, Gyms, and all that good stuff. (Several diffirent types like Water, Grass, Fire, Electric, etc.)

Edit: Alright now I have a decision. Starmie or Milotic?

Ludicolo will help you the most in the Frontier.

Blaziken, Flygon, and Gardevoir are also very good.

Pelipper sucks, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Others that are good are Slaking (for the Frontier only), Gyarados, Alakazam, Milotic, Dusclops, Breloom, Skarmory, Starmie, Metagross, Salamence, Machamp, Muk, and Weezing.

Salamence, Metagross, Milotic, Starmie, and Dusclops can't be obtained until later on in the game, but they are very good for the Elite 4 and the Frontier. The team of Blaziken, Ludicolo, Flygon, and Gardevoir should be good enough to beat all the gyms.
 
I love Pelipper though. :( I guess I could give him up.

Now I need a water Pokemon. I was thinking Gyarados? I don't really know. I also need an electric to though. -.-'

Apparently Starmie is a pretty good Water-type.

I take it the Frontier doesn't allow legendaries...?
 
no but they do allwo the trios suicune entie raikou regis and zapdos
articuno and moltres
 
The Frontier allows Lati@s, the legendary birds, and the legendary dogs, but none else. It should be noted as well that the Soul Dew doesn't work in it.

And yes, Starmie is one of the best Water-types. Gyarados is okay as a DD'er. And for an Electric-type, Magneton is imo the best...but he needs a decent Hidden Power to be at his best. I'd say to go with Sub/EncorePunching Raichu, or even Manectric.

Regardless of what anyone says, you should never give up a pokemon you want because of what someone else tells you, Not unless YOU want to. My advice to you, no books are nothing. Just go with what you like and with what you think you will benifit most with.

You dont need another trainer to tell you that, You have to gain experience for yourself, other wise you wont learn what being a trainer is all about.
 
It's not like I am new to Pokemon. I know what Pokemon work and what ones don't. I was asking what was the best Pokemon was for Emerald for the frontier/gyms. :)
 
beacuse of its freaky type set.

beaing both water and grass prevents super effecticve hits from his fire weakness, being grass prevents his electric weakness and so on.....
 
Magneton and Starmie ftw

You answered your own question. You wouldn't know, as you have "very little experience of the frontier."

Ludicolo is an excellent Special wall with 100 base Sp. Def and no Special weaknesses. He's a great staller as well, with Leech Seed and a decent Defense stat at his disposal. AND he can also sweep averagely.

An overall cool Pokemon.
 
Going through the forum I have found that many many many people like Starmie as their water Pokemon. What is up with this Pokemon? Should I use it instead of an electric Pokemon?
 
I think a good team is Salamence, Ludicolo, Heracross, and Metagross but thats for like BF
 
Starmie is best use as a Special Sweeper. It is best known for the classic combo of "BoltBeaming" or, having Ice Beam and Thunderbolt in the same moveset. It also has access to Recover to make it last longer, Confuse Ray, if your in a pinch, and Psychic and Surf. Starmie is one of the few water types that can learn an Electric type move to take down other Water types (Gyarados learns Thunder, Lapras and Lanturn learn Thunderbolt and Thunder, ect.)

Ocerall, Starmie is a great Pokemon. You won't go wrong without it.
