The selection of early pokemon is just awful. I try to avoid reusing pokemon that I've already raised, so I picked turtwig, which in turn further restricts my choices, since grass types are a bad enough idea without having two on your team. I planned on hacking to catch dongle/swarm pokemon, but even then you only have like one decent team possible, and a substantial chunk are grass (and I don't need more grass) or bug (which is to say made of suck and fail) so even if you could have the type on your team, you still can't make a whole team out of your early options.
Hacking in general is looking good, though. I managed to find a site with codes by pokemon players who happen to be hackers, rather than the usual set by hackers who happen to play pokemon, which means rather than just endless variations on walking through walls, immortal pokemon and automatic one-hit KOs, I now have a working shiny code, max IV code, and pokemon encounter hack that governs pokemon, level and nature. All running together. All I need now is to get a code that substitutes "hatched from an egg" in place of "encountered at Route Whatever" and my life will become perfect.
In the meantime, my intended team is going to be nidoranM (because shiny nidoqueen is hideous), pineco, vulpix, slowpoke and aerodactyl.
