Is this the default teams for each game?>only new pokemon>no trade evolution mons like gengar for gen 1 because it was too hard to get it back then>trying to take into account the accessibility of the pokemon in game and not just popularity, for example salamence was kind of a bitch to know how to catch one>unique encounters are obviously more likely to be on one's team>i didn’t take into account megas or legendaryThoughts? I tried to be as unbiased as possible and without taking my personal taste into account. And also tried to go for each popular starter, idk how true that is because for some gen they are tied but I wanted to pick one for the sake of it.
I feel like many people had Espurr/Meowstic on their team in gen 6 due to its availability. The gen 6 team also lacks a mega evolved Pokemon which I think there'd be at least one. Is that because you didn't want to repeat older mon! If so I understand.
>>58483403Have never seen anyone with a Cetitan on their team. Clodsire should be there instead. Swampert is definitely the most common Hoenn starter
No one used milotic in their general hoenn playthrough. It should be something like Wailmer or Pelipper
>>58483452I used one but i am probably not the best example as i had access to internet very early to check how to get feebas
>>58483403Red Gyarados over Heracross for gen 2. You won't find hera without a guide and gyarados is a mandatory encounter
>>58483403No
>>58483446You are right I should swap them>>58483444Yeah unfortunately the only gen 6 mon was diancie otherwise the most used were probably lucario or blaziken as it was free. I also agree on meowstic actually I do think many people used one but idk how many kept it until the league.
>>58483461If we look at the perspective of the games being released a lot of the common teams today are wrong. Like I doubt most people used Garchomp in their sinnoh playthrough because thay cave was genuinely not suppose to be easy to find vs now everyone knows where it is.
>>58483403Popularity is split between gatr and typh on gen 2 tho id argue gatr was more popular in gen 2 based on my unbiased personal experience in my school playgrounds.Blaziken and Swampert were both more popular than Sceptile, Sceptile is simply a failed shillmon like Meganium, if I go by my own personal experience again then Swampert was more popular than Blaziken.I’d popularity is also pretty split on gens 4 and 5 amongst all three starters the rest are fine.
>no darm or exca in bwhuh?
>>58483403Milotic is too rare to be default for Hoenn, honestly most people used HM slaves as kids for their Surf slot there if they didn’t pick Swampert. There’s really not a good answer to the question because Ludicolo was version exclusive and an older player would probably just use whatever, maybe Wailord.Samurott is more popular for Gen 5 and the team also lacks a Fly user, which would be Unfezant most of the time
>>58483403Only DP has a "default team" because of its dogshit dex variety.
>>58483569Oh and everyone and their mom used Mudsdale in SM, lots of gushing over how good Stamina was
>>58483582No every game has a default team given that a lot of people flock towards the same options
No game has a “default team” except gen 4. These threads are always just a cope for sinnoh fanboys.
>>58483594Johto also has a default team because 90% of the dex is in Kanto or shitmons
Every game has default teams because Pokèmon fans have very basic bitch taste. Not a bad thing inherently but it is what it is.
>>58483403>nowe got red's team in gsc
>>58483616I mean its just how the games are designed. Every team has a:>starter>surf user>fly userThats 3 minimum samemons. Every team will gravitate towards regional bird. Some birds like talonflame/staraptor/pidgeot are just more popular vs like Unfeasant so people dont go out of their way to find another flymon. And its fine. If GF didnt want people to use it, they wouldnt make it so accessible or good to use
>>58483594>gen 4No. Even OP's and the meme'd template are different. I would never pick up Garchomp or Lucario and Luxray is overrated.
>>58483604this, heracross/ampharos/espeon are on every team lol.
>>58483637Well duh anon anyone could tell you why they have certain mons on their team. No one’s using Bibarel for its power. Doesn’t take away the fact that there are more options to Fly or Surf but people will gravitate to the same stuff which, like I said, is fine.
>>58483403>Thoughts?I'm invalidating your gens 4 and 5 teams because you didn't include a Surf user or a Fly user in gen 5. Swap Roserade out for Floatzel, Serperior out for Samurott, and Scolipede out for Braviary.
>>58483403>charizardYou fucked up right at the beginning lmao
>>58483697>RoseradeNo. It’s Garchomp
>>58483661Johto is worse for me. Yes the DP meme team is real but that's literally because all 6 of those people are popular, many of them are available early route, and gift mon (riolu). That does not stop people from using Gastrodon instead of Floatzle, Hippowdon instead of Garchomp or even Gliscor, Leafeon/Abomasnow instead of Roserade etc.... All good decent options for playthrough. But those mons in the meme are easy to get and strong to use so of course people are going to use it.Meanwhile everytime I or I watch other people play Johto, their team always has Starter/Ampharos/Eeveelution/Gyarados/Crobat because your only other options are using more Kanto mons or just complete trash. Not that I don't want to use different pokemon, but the options are geniunely so much worse why would I even bother
>>58483716no one surfs with garchomp nigga.
>>58483403Honestly outside of gen 1 i don’t see why you think theres a default starter pick.For the rest you got a lot of them right but also a lot of them wrong
>>58483716???Who the fuck surfs with Garchomp? DumbassIt's Floatzel, Gastrodon, or Bibarel.
>>58483403I haven't even played some of the gens but based on how often I've seen most of them in the gameplays, this seems more or less on point. Good job anon
>>58483403I think there’s really only a “default team” for Gens 1-4. After 5 the variety becomes too impressive to predict. The only change I’d make to Gens 1-4 is maybe Primeape or a Hitmon instead of Butterfree, and Red Gyarados definitely needs to be on Johto. For Hoenn I’d say Swampert is more popular than Sceptile, and then you can swap Milotic for Breloom. Gen 4 everyone knows that’s the team lol. But yeah Gen 5+ there isn’t really a default. Gen 6 people definitely used the Kanto starter plus Lucario. 6 on, nobody but /vp/ nerds went out of their way to use strictly new mons, that’s just our own autism speaking.
>>58483403No idea whether you're correct or not and I feel too lazy to think about it, but I appreciate the effort put into this anon
>>58483813I wouldn't say so. At least Gen 5 still has this problem but to a lessor degree. It doesn't matter if your dex is large, people will still gravitate towards popular pokemon. BW2 has most players using starter - lucario - ampharos - flygon and Im pretty sure there was even a poll that proved this correct
>>58483446shame, Cetitan is cool
>>58483845Fair point about BW2, but original BW is still tough — normally people gravitate towards giftmons and regional bird, but NOBODY liked Unfezant and the elemonkeys. Much more likely to go with Stoutland. Then it’s a toss-up whether people kept Leavanny vs Scolipede, and even then lots of people will have held out for Crustle or Galvantula. That’s already a fair amount of variety for the 3rd slot. The desert is packed with popular mons, Krookodile might have the edge over Scrafty and Darmanitan, but again it’s close. After that it’s just a mess. Chandelure may be most popular in polls, but I see people rock Reuniclus or Jellicent over him all the time. Most people still need a flyer by now so it’ll be version-dependent on Braviary vs Mandibuzz, and you can say Haxorus takes the last slot but you and I both know there’s plenty of autists who waited the whole game for Bisharp or Hydreigon. This game is literally default-team-proof, there’s too many solid popular choices. I didn’t even touch on popular cutemons like Whimsicott or Cinccino.
>>58484176Braviary and Mandibuzz are definitely tied for flymons but if we are talking about BW, then it's not possible because those two are locked at the 8th gym. There's no way you would go that long without a flymon even if it's for fodder only. Like I'm one of those autists that waited for Braviary but use Unfezant even if I didn't like it. There was simply no choice and Swanna is equally unimpressive esp since Samurott is likely the more popular starter people choose
>>58483403Nobody uses Milotic and Absol in R/S/E.Milotic is the hardest Pokemon to get in the game (catching Feebas + tedious evo method) and Absol is uncommon, late game and sucks before the phys/spec split.
>>58484279Manetric and Breloom would be better pick for a generic Hoenn team.
>>58483403The XY team isn't accurate either.Noivern is popular but it is almost unusable in a playthrough because of how late it appears.XY is starter/talonflame/raichu/kanto starter/lucario/lapras or snorlax
>>58484195I guess that’s fair, the average joe will just have left Unfezant on their team as a Fly slave and not bother to change it up that late. The only exception I’ll stand by is Bisharp. Even normies will wait all game for an edgemon of that level
