While I believe that Pokemon Games were intended to let the player collect, battle, and trade I also believe that they were also intended to let the player create a powerful team based off there own personal taste. [Thats what got me into Pokemon] However, I've seen many people create teams based solely on a popular strategy with the same pokemon. So I wonder if pokemon fans would rather... A. Have a team of Pokemon they Love but only win sometimes or B. Have a team of Pokemon they Hate and win all the time? ;428;
 
That's a very good question. I decided not to vote because I'm kind of torn between the two. While I do prefer to mainly choose Pokemon that will work best in the team I'm building, I take any chance I get to use faves, like Shedinja or an Eeveelution, and I would NEVER use Infernape or (maybe) Machamp if my team depended on it.
 
Kinda both. I tend to get good pokemon that are also my favorites.(They are good by coincedance, though they might not be the absolute best. Such as Golem.)
 
I like all pokemon.

So there.
 
fortunatly for me most of the pokemon i like are very useable and are often misunderstood, my drifblim for example...no expects it, it helps also when i use a set not on smogon ;)
 
With me most of the ones I use to EV are all my faves; However with Starter Pokemon and beginning Pokemon, they may not be evd trained but they'll always have a place in my heart. (I used all of the Pokemon I started with to beat Red in HG)
 
No EVs for me. No competitive battling. I just play the blasted game. I would never use a Pokemon I don't like for the sole purpose of winning.
 
Pokemon that I've never used/like I use, not pokemon I hate.
 
I believe in using Pokemon I love, becuase then I know how to use them well in battle. It also makes it feel more natural to have the ones you love.
 
I use pokemon that I love and they seem to do fairly well together if trained right with a nice balance of moves. I barely use pokemon that I hate, I only use them for fun matches, but not for matches that "count"
 
I use Pokemon I like, as long as they fit with the team. I would never consider raising any random Pokemon, but I'll make the ones I use as good as they can be without going into hardcore. And occasionally I do go into hardcore when I feel like it. But EVs and natures only, not Ivs.
 
I use the ones I like, and Smogon and everyone else be d*mned. In fact, I don't even know where my pokémon rank on Smogon's 'tiers'.

I know that there are a lot of weaknesses for the ones I like, and I know poison types aren't very good, but I don't care. I use the ones I like, and nothing can budge me from it. It's like Karen says ".....Truely gifted trainers should try to win with their favorites..."

What's the point of winning if you have to use pokémon you don't like?

My team are the pokémon in the Team Pose in my signature, by the way. I love my babies. (Sertorius the Hitmonchan, Effie the Medicham, Diomedes the Hitmonlee, Ariadné the Breloom, Metellus the Hitmontop, and Mephitas the Croagunk.)

I use my favourites.

The Pokémon that I don't like are usually ugly and I don't like using ugly Pokémon. Besides, in-game you can use any Pokémon you like, they can all be effective
 
I don't play competitive.

I play the damned game, And I use every pokemon.
 
I use the Pokemon I like, and most of them are from the OU and UU tier lists. The only problem about using my favorites is that because I have so many favorites, I have to choose only one favorite for each type in order to balance my team type wise.
 
I would much rather have Pokemon I love and win only sometimes than Pokemon I don't like and always win. I ONLY use the Pokemon I love, so. :D Some of my favorites also happen to be popular choices that people might use for competitive battles or whatever, but their strength isn't why I like them.

So yeah, I am and always have been someone who battles with and trains only her favorites. :)
 
I'd rather use the Pokemon I love and win sometimes.

Although at some point in my boredom, I screw around and train random Pokemon in my PC.
 
Where's the I would rather win all the time with my favorites option? Well, its not realistic. I usually use Pokemon that are good competevely, but so as long as I like them in any sort of way. And don't really hate any Pokemon but, I usually go for speedy "glass cannons". But I mostly always put my Sceptile into battle even though his Speed and Attack barely passes the 300 margin. So while I use Pokemon that aren't my favorites, I never use those that I can't stand.
