>>43236415Okay, so it's more i'm a rotation oriented trainer and having a starter means that taking a second ace means that your rotating team is smaller, especially in the late game when I start solidifying picks.
Right now, my late game team in AS is looking like
>M-Garde>Milotic>Altariawhich adding sceptile into the mix means that I only have 2 rotating slots. 1 of which is linoone sweeping up the extra TMs i can't use.
It's not that they don't fit, more that they make replaying difficult because 1 member of your team is chosen for you.
I don't exactly have a solution beyond not being a fag and actually boxing the damn thing but it just seems wrong.
My gen 5 playthrough has this problem too. Oshawatt was an obligatory pick because its W1 and cheren and bianca need snivy and tepig respectively. Herdier has already taken my 2nd team slot because he's based as fuck and I have a yorkie back home. In some hope of actually having fun with Samurott i'm only playing him as a physical attacker, SR'd for adamant just for that reason. So now my team already has 2 bulky physical attackers and I'm wanting to play with some mons i don't normally and my team is getting a bit clogged.
At least I'm not aching for one of the throwaway fishmons or anything because that would make it much worse but even just that has got in the way of my teambuilding.
