So final pokemon thoughts

Ampharos was bad ass, TOO bad ass even. It sucked having to cut him but I felt I needed more variation. But he DID get to meet the new members because I had to traverse a few caves and he still knew flash

Fergrater ...wasn't too great. I dunno, maybe I'm biased, I LOVE Blastoise, but he didn't impress me too much. NOW, it might have something to do with him eventually becoming an HM whore. I even said in the last topic that a starter becoming an HM whore. I promised him it wouldn't happen and then it happened. He probably detests me now. I broke his dreams and my promise. He wasn't any good until he got Waterfall. and Slash never crit'd once

Bellossom was adorbs and I enjoyed having her on my team. Unfortunately..she wasn't a fighter. Everytime I play I always have a plant to teach cut, and to have a drain attack to help stall, and to have stun spore and sleeping powder to catch pokemon.

Steelix sucked

Gyarados is one of my favorite pokemon, so making him take a back seat to be another HM whore was a weird yet different take. As I said, I had to justify having him on my team again.

Houndoom ...just sucked man. The thing is, I chose him over Honchkrow for the fire element....but if I had any idea how bad ass Scizor was, ESPECIALLY with that badass technician ability, Rock Smash WAS ACTUALLY VIABLE (as far as how I used him)
but I digress. Houndoom was just too slow. He had a nature that supported Special attack but it still wasn't anything significant. and he had a glass jaw too. I should've seriously stuck to Honchkrow like I planned. Then that brings up another bunch of problems like having a 2nd bird. but again I digress. Doom was disappointing

Togekiss was a delight to use and I'm glad the game just give him to you. Its just HORRIBLE you can only get him post game. That medium togepi was just kinda meh. Kiss with Air cutter was awesome (thanks for that suggestion)

then Finally Manoswine was awesome. He was slow, fat, can't jump high, but hes one helluva guy :D
Its what Doom SHOULD have been. He was just wrecking bitches and he could take hits. His weaknesses are just dumb though. I went over it but His Ice element does not protect him against grass or water. Even though Ice beats grass >_>. And water doesn't beat ice either. I DUNNO MAN WTF. I guess they had to balance him SOMEHOW. Like giving a Gyarados flying type that he can't really use just so electrics can destroy him. But I digress.

SCIZOR

SCIZOR WAS THE MVP BABY. As I've said, I ALWAYS Wanted to train A scyther. Scythers are cool IMO. But I dunno, I don't think they were GOOD in RBY. I apparently could've made him work with agility and slash but meh. But thanks to Steel type and X scissor, he was incredible. AND HE WAS THE HARDEST HITTER ON THE TEAM, even harder than Manoswine. Yall never had anything good to say about Rock Smash, so I taught it to him without saying anything. MAN it got me out of so many jams. It makes him viable against ice and other steels. See? Makes Houndoom redundant a bit.

But yea, I did not regret training up more people.
