In a similar situation. Playing liquid crystal right now and can't decide on my last two members.

My planed team.
Typhlosion
Poliwhirl
Heracross
Shuckle

There so many pokemon I want to pick but I don't know what to pick. With poliwhirl it's kinda like your situation, it's my favorite pokemon and I'd rather just keep it a poliwhirl instead of evolving it. Maybe try using pokemon you never really would use normally, could find a soft spot for a new pokemon.

That's almost the exact pickle I'm in. Typhlosion always has a spot on the team & I picked up a Poliwag for Poliwhirl who is also my favorite pokemon. What a small world. I'm thinking of taking mine to Poliwrath though.

As for the rest, maybe you're right & using pokemon I haven't in the past will help to shake it up. I was thinking about training up the Togepi you get because I've never gone through with it but then I remembered this is pre-Fairy type & for some reason that took a little of the wind out of that sail. IDK.

A man of impeccable taste.

My problem with togepi is a pain in the ass tp train and doesn't really justify it as togetic is nothing special. Not stoping you but expect a real pain in the ass.

Feels good man.

As for togepi, that's a bummer. I'll probably press on towards the bug gym with poliwag & quilava & see what happens I guess. Thanks for responding

Usually I plan out my team ahead of time, though I wanna play Black again with mons I've never used before.

I need to find a game to use a Poliwrath in. I used Politoed in my old HG run and he was a fun bro, so it'd be fun to use the other half.

> Tfw no more split evos

Last time I played through HG decided to try out Ambipom. Can't recommend him enough, he's the shit. Mismagius, Politoed, Heracross, and Sudowoodo are all pretty good/fun to use too.
