Anyways, currently playing W2. It's a bit of a struggle w/the graphics and whatnot, but it's cute. Just beat the second gym.

I love some of the Gen 6 designs, but I feel like they dropped the ball a bit with the final stages. I mean it's weird that I like Tyrunt, Pumpkaboo, Phantump, Bergmite, Noibat, Goomy, Litleo, Flabebe, Swirlix, Pancham, the starters etc better than their evolved formes when it was the complete opposite for all of the other Gens, and I've never really cared about first stages at all. Maybe that's just me, though.

I don't play competitively, so Idc about whether my Pokemon are balanced/going to slay the elites. I think it's cheap to almost always come across Pokemon like Hydreigon, Garchomp, Blissey, Skarmory, Lucario...I am sticking to my own guns and these are Alomomola, Mantine, Victreebel, Delcatty, and other underrated Pops like these. I like having my teams full of favourites like Corsola and Beautifly. Dc a/t Crobat and Dragonite. I find that these Pokemon have acquired a kind of "feeling." So many of them are distasteful to me now because they are overbearing. So many people use them. & they leave Pokemon like Vileplume, Cherrim, and Illumise out of the picture. It's cheap and ruins the point of having a variety of Pokemon. What's the point in having a team of overpowered, overused, & imperial Pops? I dont like it.

Most of us just use the pokemon we like in game tho. I understand what you're saying, and it is sad that causal players just want power, but it doesn't really apply with ATRL for the most part. (Unless you're AMIT  )

So much!!
They have lovely toned colours.The species are very nice too. My favs:
Quilladin
Froakie
Bunnelby
Litleo
Swrilix
Inkay
Clauncher
The fossils
Dedenne
The Grass/Ghosts duo
Volcanion is a babe too x
Kalos is so fresh in terms of Pokes & innovation. These characteristics tend to be overshadowed by the aura of the generation though. Gen 3/Hoenn remains my fav overall.

Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist look very Sinnoh to me for some reason.

I've grown to like ha now, but I was SO pressed when I first saw Gourgeist. Pumpkaboo is just the cutest thing and I was really disappointed that it evolved into.. that.

Honestly, i only dislike a few Gen VI designs. The Bibarable or whatever, the pre evo is a mess. I'm not the biggest Spritzee or Aromatisse fan, they're just okay. Same for Slurpuff and Sylveon, Carbink, Dedenne and the chespin line is meh too. Everything else is a slay, tho.
The Aegislash line is a slay, Clawitzer, Heliolisk, Tflame, Pangoro, Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Florges, Greninja, Furfrou, Gogoat, Diggersby, Dragalage (aka the best dragon design ever) Hawlucha, Pyroar, Meowstic, Trevenant, Gourgeist. Just a bunch a slays.

The three Gen 6 ghosts are actually kind of all really cool, and their signature moves make them really interesting use in-game. Might do a Ghost mono next in XY.

Suure lemme see ya'lls teams 
jk...Just generally tho. Even on DeviantArt and YouTube for example. I understand wanting to change teams and Poke slots when one plays their 4th time the same adventure, but where do I know when 1 uses their favs or power, as you say, -ridden Pokes? It shouldn't bother me, but, say, @ Serebii, it's hard to come across folk who don't use powerhouses. Even irl my mates (not that I have much) use Beys like Tyranitar, Swampert, and Metaboss. For me: no fun when I just like admirin my Pops' nice designs and sweet tactics. There aint so immersion with Shiny Haxoruses and glitched Mega Rayquazas
