Gaming Tradition!

[Remorso]

I.E. the things you do over and over again no matter what version.
For me, I always pick the fire type in memory of my very first Pokemon game, Red Version. I that game ,I picked charmander. <3

So what do you do over and over again in pokemon games?

 

[Regiruler]

I always use the master ball on the box legendary.

 

[PlatinumDude]

-I always have the box legend in my final team
-My starter is always the highest leveled Pokemon
-I EV train and soft-reset for IVs
-I always rotate between Pokemon during battles
-I tend to catch every different Pokemon I can in an area before moving on

 

[Gligar13]

I tend to use many many revives during gym battles or elite 4 battles.

 

[flaming infernape]

The only thing that might count for me is never using the standard bird (Pidgey, Starly, etc.) as my team's flier. The only exception was when I found a shiny Pidgey.

 

[Marowak]

I will use Pokemon that no-one uses.
Ex. Stantler and Furret

 

[Battaman]

I always try to have all my Pokemon at the exact same level. If I capture a new member I give it the Exp.Share until it have reached the same level as the rest of my team.
I always battle all the trainers in the game.

 

[IslandWalker]

I always choose the grass starter.

 

[Evil SandSlash98]

I alway's also choose either The Water Type Starter or the Grass Type Starter in the beginning of the game. And when I played the old games I always faced the Elite Four over and over again.

 

[ares5566]

i always pick the water start and dont use it unless its squirtle

also i usually only lvl 2 Pokemon throughout the game since it'd be worthless to lvl em all since they're worthless for competitive play

 

[Luroberto]

Pick the starter I like, capture the first 5 pokemon I see, starter is power house, with another a few levels behind him (EXP share and double battles), go to elite 4, go to champion, fail, GRIND!
And then win.

 

[Amewsment]

I play the game with minimal faints and aim for none, if a pokemon faints early or more than one faints I will reload. I aim for perfection

 

[pigmonkeyandsuzi]

i always keep the pokemon i used at the start of the game (the ones you use until something you want comes up) in my party box.

I never use them again, but they are there as some sort of stupid monument to helping at the beginning at the game. lol .O.

 

[kawatan]

I always choose the Fire starter.

I always end up with a Geodude/Graveler/Golem on my team.

I always fight every trainer.

 

[Spiffee]

I will use Pokemon that no-one uses.
Ex. Stantler and Furret

Aw, I love Stantler! (Not so much Furret though. :B)

-I always have a Golbat/Crobat on my team. Don't know why, but I always use 'em.
-I (used to) always use the Water starter. I broke this tradition when I got Pearl though 'cause Piplup is retarded. I picked Turtwig instead.

 

[Delrihuzz]

- I always choose the fire starter in my first run through. Water starter in the next, grass after careful consideration if it's worth it on my third.

- I always try to faint every wild Zubat I see, just because they are that annoying.

- I try not to use any legendaries before the E4, but sometimes use them after

- I have to have a Milotic on my team

- I never have an electric type on my team for longer than two minutes, stemming from my hatred of Uberchu.

- I tend to use Pokémon no one uses for a long time, which is Furret currently. Furret is awesome by the way.

- I always start off with the resident bird (except Hoothoot for some reason), train it until it's fully evolved, then teach fly to a different pokémon capable of flying.

- In D/P/Pt, I tend to run from wild Bidoofs and Bibarels, because they're not worth losing PP's to.

 

[Takoto]

Most of the time, the starter I picked at the beginning will be my highest level Pokémon until I beat the Elite Four (then I trade over all my level 100's).

When going through the game I tend to nickname every single Pokémon I capture, unless I don't plan on using it ever for anything.

Until I beat the Elite Four, I do not bother with Natures, IV's, or EV-training. However, sometimes I do soft-reset until I get a starter Pokémon with the nature I want.

I usually try to have a fire type, a grass type and a water type on my team when going through the game (however this was hard in D/P/P as the only fire-type ever was Ponyta or the retarted-looking fire monkey starter Chimchar).

My starter Pokémon must always have a human (nick)name. Not like "Fluffy" or anything. It must be a name like "John", "Jayne", "Dahlia", "Danny", ect.

 

[Umbreon Freak]

Recently, I've been trying to keep all of my Pokemon's levels even, so I guess it's becoming a bit of a tradition for me. Also, I always start with the fire starter (except in Red, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen, where I would always start with Squirtle) and name my rival Asshole. And, ever since I first started playing, I would go to the Pokemon Center and heal my Pokemon before fighting a gym leader and after fighting all the gym trainers. Yes, even if that meant doing the gym puzzle all over again.

 

[TeraDyne]

My only real "traditions" are...

- In GSC, and now HGSS, I always name my rival "???". I've broken it once, and named him Momo.

- I always keep an eye on any berries I'm growing. If I'm training, I keep a notebook with notes on where I planted them and at what time.

- My starter must ALWAYS be nicknamed. Others don't matter as much, but my starter has to have one.

 

[woops]

Amulet Coin. Money. Max Ultra Balls.

Oh, and get Pokémon that never have the same main type.
And get a Marowak. Soon. Very. Need False Swipe.
