Could just vote based on types alone...create a general top 8 teams, set up seeds, and vote based on who you think would win a matchup.

Should just have a vote on what team is the coolest, because there are like 1,000,000 ways a pokemon battle could go lol. I remember beating almost the whole elite four in one of the games with just my Crobat (Crobat is a boss), but if someone sees a regular pokemon matched up against a mewtwo, they're gonna be like ohhh mewtwo wins just because it's mewtwo and legendary, even though the other pokemon could beat it in like a million ways. 

Should just vote on what team is the most well-rounded or balanced or which would look the coolest. 

Well, I've been targeting the strongest pokemon, not necessarily "the coolest"Apocalypse33

if i was targeting the coolest i woulda took like scyther, lickitung, bulbasaur, etc. 

Bellsprout is the coolest pokemon.

It's your pick, see the topic title. 

I choose Slowbro.

Then it should be by how well the teams are balanced I guess. Every other way would be pretty subjective because there are so many ways match ups could go. But like if someone has all fire pokemon, they are most likely gonna lose to someone with 1-2 strong water pokemon, because 1 water-type could sweep the whole team. 

I choose

Flareon

and

Pinsir

Edit: My bad, I just looked on the taken pokemon list and Starmie wasn't on it.

^^^

 starmie is gone brah

andyboiii got him

I choose Tauros

Raichu,

my team is swagged out

Other than Mewtwo my legendary Birds alone would wipe out your team.  Hell just Moltres alone.

mems would win ^... choosing two flying types was a bad choice lol. doens't matter if they have better stats, type weakness means a lot... it makes moves 2x-4x stronger. Both Moltres and Articuno could be 1 hit Ko'd by Kabutops because of their 4x weakness to rock and there goes the "strongest" parts of your team lol. Not to mention, kabutops is resistant to fire if I remember correcty... elpooz

Venusaur is extremely resistant to grass and is has high att. Raichu has low defense, which means Raichu would get 1 hit ko'd by it most likely. Mewtwo could also take it down quickly. So what do you do then lol? Telling you man, two flying types = bad move. Doesn't matter if they are legendary. Having two fire types doens't help you much either... Kabutops could take out your whole team besides Raichu, which will end up being half of your final team lol.

Raichu takes out kabutops, ninetails takes out venosaur, that leaves me the two legendary birds against Mewtwo if not maybe ninetails too.  Raichu is also probably one of the fastest pokemon so he has high evade.

also, aren't flying types supposed to have an advantage as you can't really hit them if they are all flying around and stuff?Apocalypse33

In that case the guy who picked Gengar wins by default because you can't hit a ghost either

the ghost types are tangible when they fight, no?  TBH I feel like no one can really beat Mew or Mewtwo unless you got a whole team against them.

This is correct.

That's assuming you get the match ups you want, like all of them in your favor. He could switch pokemon at any time and put you at a disadvantage lol. Who said he'd put out Kabutops first and you'd put out Raichu first? Doesn't work like that. Bottom line is, he has a clear advantage. Ghost pokemon have an immunity to normal attacks and maybe fighting, but they aren't any more evasive than other pokemon. Flying aren't either, they just usually have immunity to ground. 

I choose vaporeon
