I respect you for putting up with that since that can take a extremely long time and multiple re-trys to get everything right.

What do you mean by "you agree with me" I just want to point out that one pokemon is more efficient and less tedious for people who want to finish the game quickly. That was the main point that i was trying say. It has been done in every pokemon game i played. from red/blue/yellow to now yellow was kind of different i use the Squirtle instead right after i got it and finished it that way.

I use one or two overpower pokemon to finish the story and the whole team is for battling online or whatever I never said it was a sin your just twisting my words, i said it was just a waste of time when you do it with just one pokemon. You don't watch Tv? Okay then but i am pretty sure that you have done other things while trying to train your pokemon maybe browsing the internet or maybe right now when trying to responding to this post. For the game all you need is one maybe two. Since the computers aren't smart enough to setup. The story is not fun i try to finish it fast as possible since i played gold and silver in the past before so i knew what was going to happen. I do this because i want to play my friend thats the only fun part i get in pokemon. PS When diamond and pearl came out i was excited but when i got it i realized it was the same thing just better looking and got bored of it quickly before i got to the first gym i wanted to quit but i finished the game in 2 days and it ended there. Do you actually like building a team or just the idea of one? by building a team i mean doing the necessary training done like EV training and getting the perfect IV and egg moves the right nature and all that.

I know not everybody picks the gatr but you asked what i used so don't go turning it around and making it into something else. Also of course gyrados is better than the gatr but i don't want to go around training another pokemon that i am going to replace once i finish the game. Also Isn't it common sense that i would use something more suited for catching a pokemon. Rather than a pokemon i use for battling, i also don't catch much pokemon during the whole game until i finished the game that is when i started catching. furthermore i never mentioned "having a team of 6 is ineffective" and who actually enjoys making these teams you keep battling seeing the same thing over see a pokemon kill it and repeat over again, its so boring that you find yourself training your pokemon while doing other things like watching TV. Don't lie to me i know you been through that and atleast looked away from the ds while training. But still continued because it was a easy task. They like the idea of making a team for a pokemon journey not actually doing the actual training.

HG/SS is not just johto its kanto as well. since you can explore the land of kanto and battle their gym leaders and receive a actual badge after defeating them.

I have a geodude but i only use it for HM moves i rather use my gatr then that magikarp rather wait for that shiny gyardos as you said early EV training? You sort of contradicted yourself, that actually takes a longer time than and makes the game not challenging like you mention earlier sort of like your over leveled. as for catching lavrvitar i can catch it with a scyther with false swipe or trade with a friend. or i can sleep it then catch it. but i already have a tyranitar I use a Feraligatr with waterfall, ice punch superpower and crunch when Feraligatr reached its max level i use a raikou that i caught with discharge thunderbolt extrasenory and crunch i think thats all i use No i thought kanto gym leaders had some higher level pokemon like 50+

no i say geodude isn't as a good and magikarp is even worst. there are better options Its not hard to catch pokemon all you have to do is just use weaker moves i don't have problems in that area.

Well i am the type of person that finishes the game then focuses, working on a team since i find it more difficult and would require more time to build a team as your progress through the story since you don't have all the best resources available. Most of the good pokemon you can get are in late game anyways or after you finish the game. As for improving gym leaders? the game should have the gym leader match up the level of the highest level pokemon in your party or an average of what your have in your party, so people (like me) can be over leveled for the match, that would be challenging.

Nah the gym leaders are easy, i can one hit everything, the problem with your pokemon is that you guys focus on more than one pokemon, i see people on youtube with like 5 pokemon that they trained. Why waste your time when you get to victory road there are already pokemon in the wild at that level, your just wasting time. All you need is one fully trained pokemon to finish the game without cheating.

i only needed 2 pokemon my Feraligatr and Raikou they weren't EV trained this was just used to finish the game legally.
