this is probably still far too many and i would be better off if i just stuck to like, six or eight, but:
1) oftentimes the mons i like the most take a while to get to, so it’s good to have others until you get to that point
2) there are over a thousand pokémon so if i only used six i would simply not be able to use a great many of them
3) i would have a very hard time deciding on six without using a bunch of them and seeing which i like the vibes of the best
