Why do people even do this? Don't you want a balanced team of 6 pokemon? And HMs weren't even that necessary in his gen.

You don't need a balanced team of 6 for a playthrough of pokemon and a HM slave is always useful.

I personally like exploring every nook and cranny that I can get to. HMs might of not been necessary to progress story wise this gen but they were still used in a lot of places.

Who doesn't do this? I figured that was the default. I have 6 main pokes, one which I always rotate out to level up while the HM slave takes the 6th spot always. Then once you reach where you want put away the slave and get your 6 together.

My party always consisted of:
>My starter, overleveled throughout the entire game
>3 other Pokemon I like who are not underleveled
>an HM slave and a Fly slave.

This setup always got me past the E4 without grinding or revive/potion spamming.
I do feel bad when I sack the slaves to revive others tho

It sucks, in the new Gens I have a habit of making it to the Elite four with about 2 mid 60s-70s pokemon and the rest 30s... I remember Emerald and every game before that, I always came to the Elite Four with all 60s-70s... what the hell happened?

True... though I've restarted Firered and Platinum... and so far everyone is leveling evenly.

It only happened in Platinum and White where I had three underleveled ones. Maybe I just enjoyed Crystal, Firered, Emerald, and SS more.

I had never heard of HM slaves until I got back into Pokemon when Platinum came out. Tried it with an HM Slave. Quite useful, but something just felt wrong not having a full team of usable Pokemon.

Hence, team of six with an HM slave swapping with one of them whenever it is required.

I use HM slaves but I have 6 Pokémon that I rotate through as I travel, swapping the highest level out every now and then and keeping them all fairly even. When I'm in a town (for gym/story) I swap out slave for core.

Do people normally do this?
I find that leads to way too much grinding, whereas a team of 3 seems to work perfectly for most games.

You know, i've done mostly solo runs for my whole life, and I recently did a 6 team in black 2(and I was horribly underlevelled for the e4)
But I am going to do a team of 3 when X and Y comes out.

It is only viable to have a full team in Gen 5 thanks to the new exp system. Any other gen, and you are infinitely better off soloing with your starter.

I've only felt that way in gen 1 and a little bit in BW1. 2,3,4 all had an OP starter and everything else was garbage in comparison. Like all the good mons were post game or hard to get like Milotic.

You're definitely right. I am going to try not to look at pokedex spoilers this time around and have a full team again. Despite the rough and toughness of grinding a 6 teamer, it gave me more time to bond with muh bros.

If I really like a starter, like Feraligatr or Venasaur, I might keep them for my entire run.
But generally I like other Pokemon more and they limit the amount of freedom I have when making a team. Especially on reruns where I like to use an entire new set of Pokemon.

In Pearl I ran with just a fucking Kricketune until I hit the swamp and got some other Pokemon I liked.
