>>38548207Yeah, I thought the same but it actually hurt me in SM. My entire team was a combination of Water, Bug, Grass, and Fairy. Totem Lurantis destroyed me and I had to replace a few members when I got to Poni. XY, however, are ridiculously easy, so you have a good point.
I usually use a team of all new Pokemon that I like, but there were so few new Pokemon to choose from that I liked. I literally picked up Trevenant in the forest before Victory Road. I ended up keeping Lucario because I hadn't used it before but tried to only use it sparingly because it was broken in a game that was already easy.
