Current Team?

If you are currently playing through a version post your team.

Zoroark
Magmar
Lucario
Serperior
Flygon
Basculin <- thought that would evolve, very bummed it doesn't.

Flying and Fighting care kind of a pain to battle but otherwise I tend to dominate. I'm actually happy to say that other than Basculin almost the entire team has been with me since the beginning of my play through.

Black 2 its Metagross, Garchomp, Tyranitar, Chandelure, Salamence, and Ludicolo. But Salamence isn't working to well for me atm :/ Trying to find a good substitute.

I played about 2 hours of Black 1 and turned it off because I hated it.
Is 2 better?

This is my only team right now!
Pikachu, Charmander, Pidgeotto, Nidoking and Cleffable

Why you no like Black 1?

I don't know,cause I've only played Black 2. I'd imagine they aren't very different. I think the pacing is much improved in these new games. When you get places your pokemon are actually close to the level they ought to be to take on trainers in the area so you don't have to grind as much.
Also if you were disappoint due to the lack of older/classic pokemon, they start showing up later in the game. Especially after the Elite 4. I was a little put off by the new pokemon myself but a journey later I was a fan. This was as close to experiencing pokemon for the first time again as I've ever come. I didn't know anything about 95% of the pokemon I encountered and I didn't have the people, places, or events memorized so ever experience was new and exciting.

lol yeah it's just a strange new world of Pokemon.
That's not what gets me, basically what gets me is the way they look and the new weird/awkward stats and types and what not. It's like re-learning everything you ever thought you knew, and having to put up with terrible Pokemon design while you do it.

Black 2: Triple battle team

Palkia
Lanturn
Vaporeon
Poliwrath
Gastrodon
Jellicent

I love my team so much for triple battles lol. Trick room water abuse team.

Currently my team is just eggies because I was breeding pokemon. Q_Q
So it's like five eggs and a Volcarona.

There isn't much re-learning as far as stats and stuff.
That's been the same since gen 2/3ish.
Also types haven't changed since gen 2 either.
Now the typing combos! Those are a bit weird and still trip me up in 5th gen. Especially bug steel and I have no idea why that is.
I wouldn't say most the designs are terrible. In fact I like a lot of the new designs. They just take a while to get use to.
At least they did for me.
Like I love lilligant!
I think it's just awkward to get use to the new pokemon, because when you first fight them you have no idea what they are.
Plus with the new meta game and stuff it's like you have to learn things you never really needed to know back in the first few gens. XD

Si because it has Flame Body! And it also can learn fly so I can just fly to sky arrow bridge and get them to hatch all quick!

Vroooooooooooooom! I haven't picked up my pokemon in a while, but battling can be fun. Breeding makes me cry though.

Oh man I love breeding! Haha it's one of my favorite parts, just "creating" the perfect pokemon.
I mean sometimes it's super frustrating but over all I enjoy it because then I get a cool pokemon~!

Difference of opinion. I think that is your maternal nature kicking in bahaha.

Exactly. Pokemon became more cerebral. Though a lot of it you don't have to participate in if you don't want to. There is a lot of dual or unusual typing but I think that's just this gen. It feels like they were trying to diversify.
I agree the design style pokemon wen is different from the original 150 but I also feel like most of the new pokemon are ok. You just have to spend more time looking for new pokemon you like.

No Niichan I just like the mechanics! Q_Q
Plus I've always liked making people things and giving them stuff so that's what makes breeding fun!

Yea I think they were trying to do a bit more with the typing this gen.
I agree on that one too. I think also this gens pokemon sort of had to grow on me.
At first I only liked a handful, now I like probably 2/3rds+.
