Description I beat my White a couple of days ago. I must say I love that game. Personally I think it's one of the best Pokemon games out there. Those who don't like the new generation and refuse to give it a try, I think you should try it anyway, you migth be surprised. When I started the game there were a lot of pokemon I didn't even sneeze at but now many of them are suprisingly nice.
Especially the ones in my awesome team!

This is the team I beat the E4 with.

Sarosh (Samurott) - male - I picked Oshawott as my starter and I never regretted it. Sarosh hits hard although he isn't the fastest. However, he has never let me down and I can always count on him.
Castor (Zebstrika) - male - Holy. Shit. What can I say? Castor is one of my most reliable - if not the most reliable - battler. He's damn fast and his electric attacks always hit the target with a massive amount of damage. When Castor was still a Blitzle I wondered if he was really worth raising - and then he evolved. Castor has definitely proven himself and deserves the spot in the team.
Arathorn (Haxorus) - male - Originally I caught an Axew because I wanted a dragon type until I caught a Deino. However, Arathorn never left the team. His massive attack stat and awesome moves quaranteed the spot in the team. I really like Haxorus and Arathorn is one top Pokemon.
Pandora (Carracosta) - female - I got Pandora accidentally. I intended on getting an Archen because he could learn Fly but I kept pressing A until I got the other fossil. I hadn't saved for a while so I though I'd just settle with that. I planned to box the Tirtouga I received but when I was Pandora the first time I completely fell in love. Tirtouga is one of the most adorable pokemon there is! (sea turtles ftw!) So Pandora stayed. I really, really love her and her huge physical power.
Astaroth (Volcarona) - male - Now this is the pokemon I wanted to have since the first time I saw the sprite. Volcarona is inevitably one of the coolest, most beautiful and most awesome pokemon there is. Astaroth (I spent half an hour trying to figure out a name for him) was awesome when he hatched from his egg. Even as a Larvesta he was very powerful - and so cute as well! When Astaroth finally evolved I was so happy, I finally had my very own Volcarona! Astaroth's Special Attack needs to be praised, it's monstrous. Not only is Astaroth one of the coolest pokemon he is also one of the strongest pokemon I've known. I love him.
And the last but not the least
Shiegtur (Hydreigon) - male - Training Shiegtur was a real pain in the ass. Deino was, to put it simple, useless. Luckily Audino prowide great exp. ridiculously easily and Shiegtur grew up fast. He was fully evolved when I challenged the E4 and I think he could've taken them all by himself if I let him to. Ghestis was a joke, he didn't stand a chance. It took me some time to realize that those two other heads are actually Hydreigon's hands. The degisn is still cool and the type, oh, the type, is the definition to awesome. Dark/dragon. Oh love. Shiegtur is awesome. He's still stronger than anyone else although I've trained them all. If nothing goes as planned, he's always there to help me out, I can always trust him.

There, my lovely team! I though they deserved a proper picture, they're all so awesome.
I'm currently grinding for Cynthia. I got a heart attack when I was randomly barging in people's houses and ran into her. Luckily I didn't have to battle her right away, and now I'm avoiding that house until my pokemon are strong enough.
Just you wait, bitch, you're going down very soon!

Oh, and tell me if the picture is too dark. Laptop screen really isn't ideal for adjusting contrasts.

Such an awesome team/drawing! I always choose Oshawott and would love to use some some of these but never have the patience to raise the tougher ones and end up going for easier pokemon like scrafty or gigalith.

I've got some patience in raising Pokemon along the way so if it's worth all the trouble I'd raise six Hydreigons!

I love this picture. You have a very good team and I like the fact that you have a Zebstrika on your team. Zebstrika needs some love. On my new game I choose Oshawott again and I am thinking of this team: Samurott, Zebstrika, Sigilyph, Scrafty, Druddigon, and Darmanitan. I used Haxorus in my last game and it was amazing, but I want to use Druddigon for a little fun and lolz.

ShadeofShinon In reply to konthelion [2012-03-30 23:09:29 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad to hear you like it! :>
Zebstrika is awesome: it hits hard and fast but it could use a more diverse movepool to reach its full potential.
That sounds like a great team! Sigilyph is so annoying to battle but I can imagine it being a great Pokemon to have. Scrafty and Druddigon are Pokemon I should raise one day, they both seem great. I really dislike Druddigon's sprite, though. I might actually try to draw one and make it look...less like a Lego toy.

And sure! I'm open for commissions so if you're interested in commissioning me that'd be great. May I ask you to send the details via a note? It would help me to organize things better.

I am jealous. Majorly jealous. <- Can't draw Pokemon or realism.

Yay, someone else who started with Oshawott! I ended up with a team of Samurott, Galvantula, Archeops, Lilligant/Hydreigon (switched out as needed), Chandelure, and Scrafty. It's one of the things I love about the Pokemon games--there's a zillion ways to beat it, and you can do it with your favorites. :3

Personally, I think the picture's a bit dark, but given the way the characters are drawn and the wonderful dramatic lighting, it looks great.

ShadeofShinon In reply to Liangnui [2012-03-19 14:45:42 +0000 UTC]

All it takes is some practise. :>

Sounds like an awesome team! I would've wanted to train those Pokemon as well but with a team size limited to six I couldn't. Sure you could cycle them but with so many Pokemon it would've been quite difficult. 'D

Apparently some screens view this picture darker than others. On my screen it's okay. I'll try not to make my pictures too dark, though.

Yes, ages ago. :> My team completely crushed her even though they were severely underleveled. I can thank my Volcarona for bringing most of them down (including that Garchomp) by himself.

Triple wow! I love how well you translated all their appearances into realism.

I have Zebstrika and Haxorus on my final team along with Zekrom, Serperior, Krookodile, and Swanna. That was my dream team since before I got White.

ShadeofShinon In reply to Erix19 [2012-02-15 21:39:06 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! :>

I also trained a Krookodile at first but I boxed it after I got Axew, I think. Swanna is one of those Pokemon I really wanted to train but because a team can only contain six Pokemon I had to just box my Ducklett. One day, though. One day. I love Swans.

Erix19 In reply to ShadeofShinon [2012-02-15 22:25:03 +0000 UTC]

I usually interchange my team members if my main team doesn't have a type advantage over a particular Gym, like the Opelucid Gym. I have to box one of my members to make way for a Beartic. After that particular Gym, I box the temporary member for my main member. I also have to box one for a Fighting type against one of E4 but other than that, my team remains pretty constant and it's more diverse than my SS team.

ShadeofShinon In reply to Erix19 [2012-02-19 15:30:39 +0000 UTC]

Sounds like an effective strategy. I've never done that, though. I've always had about six Pokemon that go with me the whole way.

that's a very cool picture oh and when your pokemon are at lv 100 you'll sweep Cynthia like it's nothing but me i had a very hard time with ghestis BTW did you have the option to put reshiram or zekrom in your pc just wondering but anyway the picture nice

I actually beat Cynthia severely underleveled (too lazy to grind) and it was ridiculously easy. My Volcarona did the most.
If I remember correct I had the option to put Zekrom in my PC. I'm not exactly sure because I finished the main storyline ages ago.

Deino's are truly hard to raise! but I beat the E4 also only with my Hydreigon Sephirtoth! He could take care of most of them escept by grimsley

Deino sure take their time to level up and they're rather frail, too. Zweilous as well. But they're definitely worth raising since Hydreigon is a BEAST.

potatotter In reply to ShadeofShinon [2011-12-30 15:37:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I even had to spend a lot of time breeding for a Dark pulse Deino. I was tempted many times to change it for a stronger physical attack!
and yes HYDREIGONS RULE!!!

2 dragon AND 2 water?!?!?!?!? You MUST be trolling! Just kidding of course. I read your description and I know how it feels to have a Pokemon that you never want to move from your team. My pride and joy is Shockman. An Ampharos I raised from a Mareep on Gold version, my first Pokemon game ever
