Am I the only one who tries to follow a team building pattern in every Pokemon game?
>Always have one Fire, Water and Grass type each in the team (One of them is always the starter)
>Always have at least one early game poke, usually the first one I catch (ex. Lillipup, Caterpie, Bidoof, Pidgey, etc.)
>Always have at least one rare and/or tough endgame poke, usually either a strong monoevo or a pseudolegendary (ex. Snorlax, Hitmon-, Dratini, Beldum, Larvesta, etc.)
>Last slot is a freebie, usually someone I like from the last gen
>Secondarily, try to have Flying, Rock/Ground and Psychic in the team as secondary types, but it's not a priority like the other points
I was probably influenced by Blue's endgame team in RBY. I like to keep a balance.
I hate that I always have to have some stupid bird on my team just so I can have a flier. I wish there was more variety in the shit that can learn fly
>Am I the only one on /vp/ with crippling OCD?
Probably not.

My only thing is that I go out of my way to avoid using any Pokemon I've used before, which after you've played through any given game a few times results in some weird teams. I highly recommend it if you find yourself reusing the same Pokemon over and over again.
>>26667702
I like to do FWG or FWE or FIE in each run, unless I'm doing a theme run
>>26667702
No you're of course not the only person who does that. But it's autistic for sure.
No, but that sounds extremely boring and limited.

>strong monoevo
>Hitmonshit
lol
Yes, I am sure you're the only one who is aware that you should take type weaknesses and resistances in account when building a team. What a clever boy you are.

They used to be monoevos, before you were even born.
>>26667746
He's saying that they aren't strong not that they aren't/weren't single stage Pokemon. And with the exception of Hitmonlee, it's hard to disagree.
>>26667768
>Hitmons aren't strong
Fuck off.
>>26667702
Yes

Totally.
though some of the birds are boss like Starraptor, Talonflame and Braviary (but he's not a region bird).
Golurk is based for this reason,
>>26667776
They fucking aren't.
>>26668237
You're a shit trainer.
>>26668248
Sure thing pal.
>>26668275
I'm not your pal, buddy.
Yes. Yes you are you tremendous pattern fagging piece of shit.
>>26667776
Hitmonlee and Hitmontop are both RU, and Hitmonchan is NU.

>Smogon tiers
Fuck off.
