>>32173210Yeah, I don't like the idea of using so many pokemon that were given to me (Jolteon, Charizard, and Hitmonlee), but I didn't realise it until I kinda stopped and thought for a sec about how half of my team wasn't even caught by me.
To be honest though I partly blame the bullshit distribution of Pokemon in FR, early on the Pokemon available are boring as fuck. I never wanted to use Jolteon either, but realistically what better electric types are there? I considered Magneton, but I'd just handicapping myself for longer until I can find or train one, and then the movepool isn't even better than Jolteon's so really what's the point. As far as water types are concerned, it was hard enough just catching and training Psyduck so late in the game (dat 1% catch rate)
Also I wanted a fighting type but who is there other than 'Lee? Machoke? Fuck that. Primeape? I considered it but fuck that as well, I've played a few runs before with Primeape.
Next run I'll probably replace my starter early on and opt out of using pokemon that are gifted to me
