Pokémon teams

Brandt

For all the teams used by Brandt and further information, see Brandt

In March 2018, I have started to record all my Pokémon teams on each of my playthrough. Brandt is the original persona that I have been using for my first playthroughs since then. He typically catches Pokémon that are introduced in the generation of its game. For example, he would use only Generation V Pokémon in any Generation V game. The exception is when the Pokémon has an evolution or a new form that are introduced in that generation. The most remarkable example being Mega Evolutions being introduced in Generation VI.

Brandy

Brandy is the female counterpart to Brandt. She typically follows the same rules as Brandt while making her teams. Additionally, she tends to ignore the Pokémon that Brandt has trained already, and instead she chooses different species. She is typically chosen when the same version has been played before, and I play the same game for a second time.

Games

• My first game is one of original Hoenn games that I started playing in 2005, but I don't remember which version it was. I stopped playing the game very early, because I didn't like the region back then.

• My longest Pokémon battle has been against Champion Wallace in Emerald Version, lasting around 1 hour.

Gameplay

• I never leave my starter Pokémon.
• I catch the "national bird" Pokémon and keep them on my team until the end unless I already had trained one in another version before.
• There are no types that I never trained.*
  • My most trained types are Flying and Normal, with 21.
  • My least trained type is Steel, with 5.
  • I never trained mono Ghost-type Pokémon.
  • Sun has the only team in which the same type repeats more than twice at the same time: Fairy-type, three times.
    • Omega Ruby also contains three Dragon-type if Mega Sceptile counts.
• I only play with the Pokémon that debut in the generation of its game, unless the generation introduces a new evolution or form to the species.
• Until Generation VI games, I would have my Pokémon either with a beneficial or ineffective nature. This rule is broken from Pokémon X and onwards due to arguably easiness of the games.
• I keep the level of my Pokémon on my team as close as possible.
• There are so far 20 Pokémon I have with nicknames.
  • Venusaur, Blastoise, Clefable, Ninetales, Primeape, Hitmonlee, Flareon, Dragonite, Sceptile, Altaria, Ludicolo, Audino and Decidueye are named after their or their evolutions' Japanese names, or based on their Japanese names.
  • Raichu is nicknamed "Foudre", French for Thunder.
  • Jynx is nicknamed "Zynx", a nickname non-player character has given and cannot be changed.
  • Torterra is nicknamed "Alaska", the name of my pet kitten which I adopted one day after the release of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
  • Xerneas is nicknamed "Nature", based on its concept.
  • Incineroar is nicknamed "Pootsmann", referring to an Estonian singer, Jüri Pootsmann, due to his dark performance at Eurovision Song Contest 2016.
  • Corviknight is nicknamed "Hopperhawk", referring to Edward Hopper's painting Nighthawks.
  • Sirfetch'd is nicknamed "Siegfried", referring to Richard Wager's opera character from Götterdämmerung.
• Alpha Sapphire has the only team which defeated the league first time with less than 6 Pokémon in the party.
  • Alpha Sapphire is also the only team which contains a Mythical Pokémon in the regular party.
• I don't necessarily choose the gender of a specific Pokémon.
  • X and HeartGold (Alternative) has the only team that coincidentally consists of the same gender Pokémon.
  • Out of 18 starter Pokémon, only 3, Charizard, Blastoise and Decidueye, are female.
  • So far, 10 teams of mine are male-oriented, 4 teams are female-oriented, 4 teams are equally distributed.
  • Out of 108 Pokémon, 61 are male, 37 are female, 10 are genderless.
    • 7 genderless Pokémon are Legendary.
    • 1 genderless Pokémon is Mythical.
    • 1 genderless Pokémon is an Ultra Beast.
• Charizard and Blastoise are the only Pokémon that I trained for more than one party.
  • Typhlosion and its pre-evolutions are also trained twice, but the final evolutions have different forms.
