Pokemon

Correct me if I’m wrong but is Dawn the first character who has different full teams depending on your starter?



Just something I noticed. I know there’s a lot of smaller teams I.e. all first rival battles and the optional second rival battle in emerald but I’m wondering if these are the first large (like 5-6 mons) teams that change depending on their starter that has no overlap between members. If there’s someone I forgot, please inform me. Also if you’re wondering why Lucas also doesn’t have this, it’s because he uses a rotom in his three battles (different forms but technically the same pokemon).

    Yeah she has a good team type coverage too.

  2. StreetReporter

    The Empoleon team is a reference to her anime team.

  3. Gaias_Minion

    It’s not quite the same but in BW2 N has a different team for each in-game season

  4. Froeleveld

    If i’m not mistaken her empoleon team is based on her anime team, but where did the bellosom come from?

  5. Sassy-irish-lassy

    Does Lucas have different teams than dawn does?

  6. Maliciouslemon

    Meanwhile Brendan and May final battle:

    Numel, Wailmer, 2nd stage starter, Regional Bird

    Lol

  7. I think so.

    Leon changes two of three of his pokemon, and even going back to RBG, Blue always had a fire water and grass type. But I can’t think of another trainer who swaps out all 6.

    Her Empoleon team is nearly aligned with her anime team 😳

    That Bellossom irritates me so much! Just make it Ambipom or Pachirisu!!!

    I think so?

    Rivals usually only switch one or two pokemon. Same with Kukui, Leon, and Clavell

  11. No_Arm3883

    But at least the third team is almost accurate based on her anime team though. Except she doesn’t have pachirisu though sadly. Pachirisu is my favorite because I love squirrels in real life.

    Gen 1 your rival had a different team depending on your starter also

  13. OneCactusintheDesert

    Wait, huh? Where do you battle those teams?

  14. SheepInWolfsAnus

    Whoa whoa whoa, I never knew she got a Sceptile later in the game???

    Edit: I’m so stupid, I just noticed Typhlosion and Blastoise too!

  15. ___Beaugardes___

    Meanwhile, Silver’s team stays exactly the same except for the starter.

  16. I believe Nemona’s team has 3 rotating entries (starter + 2 others)

  17. I_kill_giant

    Pokémon stadium on N64. Rival battle in round 2 has an entirely different team if you have a rental team vs one pulled from a R/B/Y cartridge.

  18. AnakinsAngstFace

    I wish I could have Chimchar with Dawn having Piplup tbh

  19. myfacealadiesplace

    Since when can crobat learn super fang?

  20. CultureJumpy2787

    Dawn/Lucas I believe so yeah. Also love that her Empoleon team is an anime reference

  21. frogtotem

    Putting arcanine in same tier of gorebyss and bellosom seems cruel hahaha

    And then, you have mamoswine completely superior to froslass and mr. mime

    You have a clear easier win against middle team

  22. creeps_Jr

    This proves the best starters for the respective gens are blastoise Sceptile and typhlosion and I couldn’t agree more
