(Edit: I hadn't realized my image in my last post was so big! Sorry! Images never display accurately on my home PC, so I don't see their true size until I see the post on my work machine.)
I wanna be the very best... but I just don't like any of these pokemon.
For the first time in many years, I'm replaying a Pokemon game. Emerald (picked at random, if I had seen a Red or Blue rom I would have snatched that up instead). I'm having the same issue I have whenever I played any non-Red/Blue game: My team is tiny because I don't like any of the new pokemon.
I'm in my third gym, and I have a grand total of three pokemon.
Sableye. Dark/ghost. My first time ever using it, and I love it.
Swellow. Normal/flying. Meh. I'd much much rather have a Spearow/Fearow, but I'm going to need a flying and this is the only one I saw.
Wartortle. Water. My starter. If I had found anything I liked better, I would have replaced it.
I also have a poochyena, but it's level 15 and all the others are around 23. It was going to be my dark pokemon, until I tried the sableye. I also have some level 6 bug pokemon, just as a HM user.
I've been doing fine with just three so far, except this gym is electric. Water pokemon. Flying. Against electric. Worse yet, all the electric types must have some secondary type because sableye's ghost moves aren't effective (or ghost is weak to electric, I totally don't remember these things anymore).
I saw an abra once, but I had forgotten how to catch them and didn't Google it, so I wasted my try by attempting to fight it. (How can I have forgotten so much? But on the other hand, I think that's why I'm enjoying the game now. It's all new!)
I really should have found a Red or Blue rom, then I'd have a team of six and wouldn't have this issue.
Oh well, back to walking through the grass for me!
Edit: Oops, ha ha. I decided to try to find a cheat so I could use the pokemon I wanted. (Not changing levels or power or number of pokeballs or anything else.) Somehow it glitched my game so I encounter nothing but charmander in the wild! No other wild pokemon ever. Guess I'll find a Red or Blue and start over.
