Ah, yes, Fairy...well, the thing is...I haven't actually trained any Fairy types yet. It turns out I haven't even trained any Pokemon that were later retconned to Fairy type. This bothers me. I definitely will train Fairy types in the future, not just so I can have an awesome counter for Dragons, but also because I want to try out several of them. Mega Gardevoir looks pretty cool, and Diantha did give me one in Y, so I have that on stand-by. I also kind of like Carbink and Klefki, so I've been debating trying them out. I keep flip-flopping on Sylveon, though... Well, those are all the major Pokemon I've put effort into training thus far. The list will most certainly grow, as I have no intention of quitting my Pokemon journey...so, now I sit and wait for Z. Or...XX and XY...or whatever they're going to do next.

-Lapras ("Lap") -Kyurem (White) -Aurorus ("Celsius") My relationship with Ice is weird. I like the Ice type, but I don't really like a whole lot of Ice Pokemon enough to try them out. You may notice that of the three Pokemon listed above, two of them are given to you for free and the other is a mascot. That's how little I feel like going out of my way for Ice types. Still, I want to change that and train more Ice types. Avalugg looks pretty cool, and I want to give a chance to Abomasnow and even Vanilluxe. Maybe Cryogonal? I've also kind of wanted to train a Cloyster for a while. But that's something to be decided later. As for my current favorite...well, I think I would have to go with Aurorus. Refrigerate combined with Hyper Beam makes for one heck of a Pokemon. Ghost and Fairy are tied for rarest type, so I'll do Ghost next and save Fairy for last.

-Giratina ("Vezon") -Spiritomb -Chandelure ("Lumiere") -Golurk ("Ralph") -Aegislash ("Ultima") I actually really, really like the Ghost type. The weird thing is, I haven't really trained all that many Ghost Pokemon...still, the ones that I have trained have been among the best Pokemon on their respective teams. We've got a legendary, a Pokemon (previously) without a weakness, a chandelier with massive special attack, a golem that can tear Dragons apart with its bare fists, and a haunted sword and shield with several stats through the roof. I definitely want to train more Ghost types, and there is absolutely no way I can pick a favorite among all these awesome Pokemon. Last but certainly not least, the newcomer: Fairy type. Coming up next!

-Dialga ("Vahi") -Garchomp ("Chomper", "Takea") -Giratina ("Vezon") -Zekrom -Kyurem (White) Dragon. The type everyone wants to use and no one wants to fight. Well less so now that we have Fairy type. I definitely like having a Dragon on my team, but since you usually need to go out of your way to acquire one (or they don't show up until late in the game when you already have a team together), most of the Dragons I've used are mascots, who have had spots reserved for them. The only real exception is Garchomp, since Garchomp is completely awesome. There's also the issue of Dragon not being super-effective against anything aside from Dragon, but dual typing helps cope with that, right? Dragon is definitely a type I want to get more use out of in the future. Though it could be a little more difficult to do so now that they have a new weakness. Getting close to the end. Ice is next.

-Scrafty -Spiritomb -Umbreon ("Umbra") -Bisharp ("Muramasa") -Greninja ("Gali") -Yveltal I actually rather like the Dark type. It frustrates me that it's still the only type that doesn't have a Gym. (They must have noticed this by now, especially when they were arranging the World Championship in Black 2/White 2, so I have to believe that this is on purpose.) Most of these Pokemon were really great (with exception(s)), and Scrafty in particular was a big surprise--I never would have caught one if it hadn't been recommended, but it became a real star on my White team. I'm also glad I got to use Spiritomb before they gave it a weakness (which I can't help but find a little disappointing...). I don't know that I can pick a favorite, but since I'm just coming off of playing Y, my memories of training Gali the Greninja from a little Froakie are particularly fresh in my mind. Coming up next: Steel.

-Lucario ("Aki", "Akamai") -Bronzong ("Bronz") -Dialga ("Vahi") -Empoleon ("Kowalski") -Genesect -Bisharp ("Muramasa") -Aegislash ("Ultima") I've had mixed experience with Steel. Sometimes, despite its many resistances, one of my Steel Pokemon just won't have a talent for lasting very long in battle. But other times they're just plain awesome. I like Steel as a type overall, and I definitely hope to use more of it--especially now that it has a type advantage over Fairy to add to its usefulness. Picking a favorite is rather difficult, but I am absolutely loving my Aegislash right now... Next up is Dragon.

-Ampharos ("Reeper", no nickname) -Raichu ("Pika", "Minnie") -Luxray ("Shin") -Zekrom Hm, not a whole lot of diversity amongst my Electric types, huh? Yes, I trained some Pikachu. You're darn right I evolved them! It's a fun type to have, although sometimes it can be difficult keeping them alive in battle. If I had to pick a favorite...well, I might actually go with Luxray. My Platinum Luxray is really, really awesome. I'm sure I'll train more Electric types in the future, but I'm not really sure who or when... Dark will be next.

-Primeape ("Mayumi") -Poliwrath ("Paul") -Lucario ("Aki," "Akamai") -Infernape ("Sarutobi") -Heracross -Gallade ("Lancelot") -Scrafty -Keldeo -Emboar ("Recoome") -Blaziken (Mega) Shoot, I never realized I trained so many Fighting types! I never really gave much thought to the type as a whole, one way or the other, but I guess a lot of the Pokemon designs really catch my eye or something. Looking back, most of these Pokemon were very dependable. There were some exceptions, yes, but overall I'd say I've had a very positive experience with the Fighting type. Lucario was a favorite at one point, but after hatching, evolving, raising, and getting a lot of use out of two of them, I'm...well, not exactly sick of it, but I don't want to train another one any time soon. (Though when Pokemon Bank comes out, I'm definitely letting one or both of them spend some time as a Mega Lucario.) Next up: Electric.

-Gigalith (2, neither have nicknames) -Aurorus ("Celsius") I never realized how few Rock types I've trained. I suppose they do have a lot of weaknesses, don't they? Hm. Well anyway, Gigalith is one of the few Generation V Pokemon that I liked right away, and it became my absolute favorite Pokemon for a time. Of course, now that I have an ice dino that can use a Hyper Beam that causes super effective damage to Dragons, Gigalith has some stiff competition. So I can't decide. I'd definitely like to use more Rock types in the future, because, quite frankly...they rock. (*Pelted with Rock Blast*) Next, I'll list my Fighting Pokemon.

-Venusaur ("Saur", "Triffid" (Mega)) -Nidoking ("Arthur") I'll be frank: I don't like Poison. I'm perfectly fine with it having two Gyms and no legendaries, and I never had any real reason to put it on my team. Of course, now that it has a type advantage over Fairy, it's infinitely more useful, so maybe I'll get more use out of it in the future. All that being said, the Pokemon listed above were all absolutely phenomenal parts of my team. My LeafGreen Venusaur was able to defeat my rival's Charizard. My Mega Venusaur can obliterate Water types with Petal Blizzard and Fairy types with a Toxic/Venoshock combo. My Nidoking, on top of the aforementioned Dragon-slaying duties, can decimate enemies with Earthquake and Poison Jab. I love them all so much...but they are exceptions to the rule. Though there are a small number of other Poison types I may like to use in the future. Rock is coming up next.

-Typhlosion ("Blaze," "Blaze Jr.") -Ho-Oh ("Rudy") -Infernape ("Sarutobi") -Charizard -Magmortar -Victini -Chandelure ("Lumiere") -Emboar ("Recoome") -Blaziken (Mega) I like Fire. Who doesn't like Fire? Most of my teams tend to have Fire Pokemon on them, because there's nothing quite like incinerating your opponent's Pokemon to smoldering ash. Although, I think I've already used most of the Fire Pokemon I've actually wanted to train. Might be difficult to fill the spot in the future...well, I have a few more candidates. My Typhlosion from Gold was the first Pokemon I really bonded with, so it definitely has a special place in my heart, but my Chandelure was also simply amazing...this is why I'm not listing my favorites. As I said yesterday, next is Poison.

-Sandslash ("Slasher") -Donphan ("Phanphare") -Torterra ("Sprout") -Garchomp ("Chomper", "Takea") -Nidoking ("Arthur") -Golurk ("Ralph") I think Ground is a smart type to have on your team, what with it being the only weakness of pure Electric Pokemon. Not only that, it has a lot of other useful advantages, and a lot of Ground Pokemon are just plain cool. How cool, you ask? The Nidoking and Golurk listed above were given the task of taking down Dragon Pokemon (Avalanche and Ice Punch, respectively), and they both excelled in that task. Also, both Garchomps were capable of demolishing Flint's team by spamming Earthquakes before the enemy could even take their first turn. I love them all so much... Well, going by rarity of types, Fire and Poison are tied. Fire will be next, Poison will be after that.

-Butterfree ("Cat") -Heracross -Genesect As you may be able to guess, I'm not a huge fan of the Bug type either. Might have something to do with my phobias. Also, there aren't a whole lot of Bug Pokemon I find really interesting, and I've never thought of it as being a particularly powerful type. I trained Butterfree because I felt like I should, but it didn't do me a whole lot of good. Heracross and Genesect, though, were just fantastic, and it's impossible to choose which one I love more. There are a few Bug Pokemon I've been thinking of trying out (Pinsir, Scyther/Scizor, maybe Scoliopede), but we'll have to wait and see if I get around to them. Ground is on the way.

-Bronzong ("Bronz") -Gallade ("Lancelot") -Victini -Mewtwo -Reuniclus ("Cell") Psychic is an interesting case. I've always thought the type and a lot of the Pokemon were pretty cool, but they don't seem to find their way onto my team with any great frequency. I thought maybe this was because they were rare, but turns out Psychic is actually a very common type, so...I don't know. Of the Psychic types I have trained, though, they've all been absolutely wonderful (though it should be noted that two of them are legendaries ), so I'd love to have more Psychic types in the future (which they can probably see). Bug type is up next.

-Venusaur ("Saur", "Triffid" (Mega)) -Torterra ("Sprout") -Meganium ("Megaman") -Serperior (no name, "Randall") Huh, I guess the only Grass types I've ever used have been starters...I never noticed. I like Grass types, but they have a lot of weaknesses, and their advantages can be covered by other things, so maybe that's why I don't train them as often. That being said, possessing a Serperior in Black 2/White 2 makes Humilau City Gym a complete joke. Definitely too tough to pick a favorite here, what with the bond one forms with their starter being special and all. Psychic is next.

Well, let's see... -Pidgeot ("Tori") -Butterfree ("Cat") -Gyarados ("Berserker" (shiny)) -Ho-Oh ("Rudy") -Charizard -Yveltal Flying isn't high on my "must have in team list," since their main use in my opinion is learning Fly, and that send you right to a Pokemon Center where you can put them back in the box anyway. In most cases, a Flying type will only make it onto my team if they have another type that I'm looking for, or if they're a mascot or just a Pokemon I feel like giving a try. I'm sure I'll be using more Flying types in the future, but I remain neutral on the type overall. Next post: Grass types.
-
Well, this is a short entry. -Pidgeot ("Tori") Yep, that's it. I can't say I'm a fan of Normal type, since Normal Pokémon don't really strike me as interesting that often. There are some that I like the design of, but not enough to include them on my team--I'd prefer that slot be used by a Pokémon that can get STAB on a move that will actually cause super-effective damage. I'd guess there's probably not a high chance of me using Normal types frequently on future teams either. Anywho, next up will be Flying.

With Squishy doing favorite Pokémon of each type, I kind of wanted to do the same thing. But it very quickly became extremely difficult for me to pick favorites, and because I avoid decision-making, I decided to just list all the Pokémon of each type I've actually used in my games. Going from most common to least common (thanks to Bulbapedia), so the first one is Water. -Lapras ("Lap") -Poliwrath ("Paul") -Gyarados ("Berserker" (shiny)) -Floatzel ("Zel", "Zelda") -Samurott ("Zenkai", "Masamune") -Keldeo -Empoleon ("Kowalski") -Greninja ("Gali") Water is one type I usually try to put on my team. Not so much because I love the type itself, but because I like having Surf on my main team so I don't have to use up a slot for an HM Slave as often. Luckily, it's not usually difficult to find a really awesome Water type! (Though I felt Generation V had a small problem with this, hence two Samurotts and a Keldeo.) I think Samurott, Greninja, and Floatzel stand out, but I don't know if I can narrow it down any further than that. Next up, the second most common type: Normal.
