Never used them, too weak and I'm not to fond of their designs.
 
I had my simisage with me,but i traded it for a leafeon :D

I left it in the day care.

I'm gonna owe them so much money for my level 100 Simisage...

I think I was gifted with Pansage... I only used the monkey to help me pass the first gym then it gradually collected dust in the PC Box. I like Pansear the most out of them, but not enough to use them in a team.

I used Simipour, but only because good Water-types (even though I hated them) were lacking in Gen 5. It was replaced by a Ludicolo I got from the Dream World.

Only for the first Gym Leader, when I couldn't be bothered to get my team (especially my starter) to a high enough level. Otherwise, there are often better choices, though the monkeys' stats are decent and well-balanced.

I don't use mine. I never really liked the monkeys.

My first run I used my Pansear, and I really liked it... but then I evolved it.
See, I was trying extra hard not to look at the pokemon before it got released because I wanted it to be a surprise, so I had no idea that when Pansear evolves, it gets a beer belly.
And evolving it didn't even make it more useful to the team either. x_x I think I dropped it right at the elite four in favor of Heatmor haha.

I loved my Simisage, and it became a huge part of my Black team.
Simipour on White, on the other hand.... I still used it and trained it against the Elite 4 on my journey, but it was not really a helpful asset in any way besides Surfing.

Yes, I've kept my Pansear and evolved him I believe prior to battling Skyla. I wanted a Fire-type, and I didn't really want to use Darumaka or Litwak. I wanted to try and stay away from rather popular choices from what I have seen/guessed.

What do I do now?
Nah, they were really annoying and didn't have a great moveset. I got past the first gym, realized how horrible it was, and then boxed it. That's about it.

Yes, it actually ended up making it onto my final team as my water type (I had Snivy as a starter so I got Panpour.)
It was extremely useful in battles with Cheren.
 

Lost Lore

On one particular playthrough of Black, I did indeed use my Pansear, Scorch...

...And he ended up being on my final team as a Simisear. I evolved him late since I wanted to get Crunch, but he held his own okay even then. I haven't actively used either of the other two, but I was recently training them on White 2 I think... I need to get back to training them, actually. They're not terrible, and they are rather cute.

Yeah, my Simisear's been pretty much a regular in the team since I got him. He's fallen behind the rest a bit level wise, (low 50s compared to mid-60s of the rest of the team) so he quite often gets left behind when I'm heading east or doing anything a bit challenging. But he gets slotted back in whenever I'm around the earlier routes and with a couple of reasonably high PP moves does a good job at sweeping away all those pesky low level Pokemon, (I'm too cheap to go buying loads of repels)

No, since using Pansear (picked Oshawott), that still didn't save me from an asskicking from Cilan. That monkey is just...terrible.

Where's Wally?
I used Pansage in my first playthrough but next time round after the first gym, he want straight into the PC.
