I don't get attached to Pokemon species, I get attached to individual Pokemon. I don't want to use an Excadrill, I want to use MY Excadrill from White 2. I don't want to use a Feraligatr, I want to use the Feraligatr that beat Red in Soul Silver. So no, when I play a new Pokemon game, I go out of my way to use mons that I haven't trained before.
