Definitely keep thumbs. Ground types are awesome. Biollante is a given being the starter. Baron makes things easier but could also become a bit of a weak link. Jango and Haddock... meh, not very interested. One of them or Jack, should give. Fire types have good coverage and thumbs + biollante means that Jack is pretty redundant.
Edit: Evee is okay I guess. Good if you miss a chance at a solid water type for surf.

Me! Because Mommy loves me!
I'm a master of the sky girl, your puny pokemon won't match me!
Then don't challenge me to a battle.
And give me meds!
I have one if you want to try. I'm curious myself. Nah I think I like them as they are. But thanks though.
Yay censorship!
What big chance Thumbs curbstomped you!
Um you should probably try to get into a addiction councilor
Huh? I wonder what we can find in there?
Ooohhh! Ohhh can I chop it up Mommy?
Sure Biollante!
Yarrr!!!
Who are you?
The name's Sunspot miss! Do you like fire!?
Um.... why?
Because fire's so pretty, but all my friends they hate me for setting the grass on fire.
Well you can come with us, I promise there will be plenty of things to burn.
Yay!
erif drazah, erif drazah
No, no go away you hurt me!
Arceus Damn it! Screw this place.
Bring it.
Maybe if we give the next pokemon medication they will want to join us.
Aren't most of your medication's side effects death? Corpses won't really be useful.
Don't worry I hate her also.
Um okay.
I'm pretty certain twins don't work that way.
Is useless
Um okay.
Good for you?
Good job Jango, killing it before it can go boom.
Do you not understand that I hate you! My high crit rate is fueled by hate!
Oh I know, I also don't care because you have to listen to me.
Great. I've become an after school special.
This air isn't fresh?
This will be easy.
Because you sent out a poison type against a psychic type. Seriously seems like a pretty big tactical error.
You mean like the time you sent out your poison type against ground types. Go to battor.
Hey don't insult Biollante like that!
Um.... a cat girl not killed by D&D physics?
Well aren't we just the greatest fluffy, warm heart druid ever.
I just assumed it was that guy's harem.
I just... I just needed... I'm stuck.
Brutally beat them, but at least they aren't dead.
Why aren't you allowed in, anyway?
Wow! Settle down!
Don't you dare threaten Mommy!
Yeah I am.
Can I think I'm special for other reasons?
Um I don't know how to fix it.
*Hurk* I don't feel well.
It's just poison. I'll heal it after the battle.
That's what you get for fighting a grass type.
By game you mean battle, right?
Mommy!! I feel so hyper!!!!!! WHEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Um... is that good?
Oh. I'm evolving again!
Good for you!
Yay! I'm bigger than you Mommy!
Yeah you are.
Well it was 86. If it's still be graded then probably a NC
Good for you.
Mommy can we play in the grass?
Sure just let me get something in Celadon city.
Oh no, oh no not you guys again!
Oh you're the little dog that tried to flee last time. Pestilence don't kill him, but he needs to be punished
Good! I'll make sure to make him suffer.
I win! Pestilence had done a number on him. Broke bones and dislocated joints, nothing fatal, but painful enough that he was sobbing even under sleep.
zzzzz *sob* It hurts. It hurts, please stop beating me, please, I'll be good.
I was wandering about Celadon, without aim. When we found a little something.
Miss, wait are you a trainer. Take me with you.
An Eevee? Nice. Sure you can come with.
Showers Oh. Everything's been so boring this past 100 years, there was a brief period of happiness 25 years ago, when I felt Kyogre awaken, but that was only for a few hours.
Eif Oh wait trainer. I have to tell you something, Lorelei only got her position by sleeping with Lance
Really. I guess that makes Lance a hero. And if I'm bringing you along, I need to know all of you.
Bolt Heheh Heroes want redheads. My names Bolt miss.
Black outI'm Blackout, and stop referencing tv tropes you idiot, life was so much more productive before that was made.
Hot shot My names Hot shot, if I set you aflame would you scream?
Well come aboard. I'll name you Rainbow
Okay what I think the majority want me to do with the team is that I box RedBaron and Haddock for Sunspot and Rainbow, and evolve Rainbow to a Vaporeon. Is that correct.
From the game corner I will be getting Porygon. The votes for it and Scyther are equal, and there is a slim chance of getting Scyther later.
In addition should Melinda tackle the gym first? Or an evil criminal organization?
Level-wise I'd say get everyone to 35 at the very least - maybe 37 just to be safe. I would tackle the game corner before Erika - lots of low-level Rockets to use as grinding fuel for the main team.
Poor Sunspot, offers to join up, so Melinda decides to beat him. Well, at least we will be seeing more of him.
I'd say do Team Rocket first, and gun for level 33 or 34 for grinding. Biollante can take on most of Giovanni's team on her own, what with that x4 typing advantage and all. Only problem is the kangaskan. As for Erika, just go with plan "Spam STAB and Supereffectives" until her plants are burned to death.
Ch 17 Now... does it count as one death, or several deaths?
Spoiler
I decided to box Red Baron and Haddock. I didn't need a flier, and Jango had fighting type attacks. In exchange I took out Sunspot and Rainbow.
I'll be good. I'll be good. So no need to beat me again, right?
Hot Shot You're a fire type. Man up kid! Burn her down if she's a threat!
Um. Neither of you can actually do that.
Bolt Not without heroic willpower at least.
Right, and none of us are heroes.
Sunspot this will be your first test. Burn it up!
Right away Mistress. The meowth had gotten a few good swipes in, but eventually it succumbed to the flame. Sunspot don't hold back next time, we're here to win, not make friends!
Yes mistress!
Sunspot remember don't hold back!
Yeah! Like that Sunspot!
This will be easy for you! Get it!
Sunspot
*whimper* Sorry Mistress. The Oddish's plant like body burned easily in the face of Sunspot's attack
Yeah! Like that! More force, make him burn!
I'll do my best mistress! She'll kill you. You only need to fail once, and she beat you, beat you to death!
No, no *sob* please stop.
Sunspot shut it up!
Don't rely on that attack too much Sunspot, It'll kill you.
Okay Mistress
Okay not bad, not bad.
Thank you Mistress!
Could be better, but you'll probably need to evolve to get better.
Sorry Mistress
Okay Sunspot. I'll see what I can do about getting you a Fire stone. Rainbow it's your turn
Rainbow I'll do my best, as long as you make the voices stop.
Okay Rainbow....
Mommy is she going to be my wifey?
Sorry Biollante. I have an oddish already. Rainbow show me your stuff!
Rainbow Urr. I don't feel so well.
Great you got yourself poisoned. I mean sure you were okay offensively, but now I have to walk all the way to the pokemon center and all the way back.
Show that cat's who's boss.
Hot Shot Burn it alive!
Showers Drown it, make it breathe it's last.
Yeah like that! Unleash your anger!
Rainbow!
I.. told... you I didn't feel well! The Nidoran's kicks hammered her skull, turning her head into a mutilated mess. The poison the nurse said was cured, made him void his bowels, but it couldn't escape his mouth the acid ate away at it's brain.
Well Rainbow this is it. Kinda wanted a Vaporeon, not going to lie. Having a water type with decent Sp.atk would have been nice. Well at least you experienced the great outdoors one more time before you died.
She's dead because of the great outdoors! And your ineptitude.
Red Baron. You're back on the team.
Finally realized the wisdom of having a flier did you?
Not so much, your replacement kinda went off and got herself killed.
Oh. I was attacked by some Rocket scum, while wandering the city streets.
Now I know I blew up your little operation in Mt.Moon. I also don't care. You will show me where your stronghold in this town is. Or I'll have Sunspot here burn you alive! Out of fear for his life, he led me to the game corner. I guess it was controlled by the rockets. Or that they knew someone high up. It did not take much searching to find the switch
I'm not stupid enough to tell you that.
By a master!
Well one of your members wanted my pokemon, and I didn't want him to have them.
I'll show you I have the skills to back up that nerve!
And I also have those skills!
The best pilots learn from past combats!
Um none of your pokemon knew self destruct buddy.
Empirical evidence suggests otherwise
Um, you can see ghost without them too, idiot.
Sunspot this is your first test in trainer battles, show me what you got.
Yes mistress.
Good job Sunspot!
Thank you mistress.
If what I've seen so far is any indication sure!
Oh no I'm so scared
Not bad Sunspot.
Isn't it a fire safety hazard, to only have a room accessible by elevator. Seriously, what's preventing me from torching the place!
Frustration. That be the prefect move for you Jango!
Yeah it would.
Bring it!
Yeah by Mommy's might!
I didn't ask, frankly the thing sounds useless.
Meh not a big fan of this move.
Oh no. I've been spotted, whatever will I do.
Mommy's love empowers me!
Can't do what?
No why would you need to give me a answer?
Oh another one!
Again isn't that a safety hazard!
Wow. You are just incompetent. Yoink
I'm not a mouse!
If she was a mouse. I would not serve her.
That made no sense.
Very observant
You attacked me first!
Because your evil's not a succubus, or Incubus as the case may be.
Apparently their boss is a succubus. I'm going to need to make a few preparations before fighting her.
Well I know Incubus are supposed to be the one's taking male forms, but there's really nothing preventing a succubi from doing so. So are you a Incubus or a Succubus?
Giovanni ...What?
Decline to answer? Doesn't matter either why? ...Why did you throw water in my face?
..Huh? No burning sensation? So you're not a demon
Bring it! A three on three battle!
Go Biollante Onix crush her!
Biollante razor leaf! The onix crumbled instantly, a liquid substance pooling from where the leaves cut. Rhyhorn charge!
Biollante again! This one crumbled also. Screaming as the leaves cut it. Fine then. Kangaskhan
Jango go!
Jango break brick! Kangaskhan bite it! They traded blows. Jango swift sudden attacks had trouble piercing the foe's tough hide, while the teeth of the mother had a hard time getting a good grip! Come on Jango get angry, remember how I lied to you, about having a dream eater Tm. Break brick again! Kangaskhan mega punch! This time there blows were more solid, Jango scored a solid blow to the creature's head, as she punched in the ribs Wait I got it! Jango take the little baby, and threaten to kill it if it continues. Rip it out of there if you have to!
You're horrible!
That's an order Jango! Of course that didn't stop Giovanni from making it attack, but killing it provided enough of a shock for Jango to score the killing blow. Good job Jango!
Shut up!
See you even leveled. And it worked out for everybody.
Except for the mother, how about I kill Biollante. Pull a two-fer on dead children.
...Talk about that again, or act on that. And I will make you forget dream eater.
Roll a will save then.
...I hate you both,
Okay say that again, but use less creepy words this time
How is this useful again?

Morbid title for the win.
Comments are appreciated.
Now I need to know what level to use a Fire stone on Sunspot. The choices are now, level 37 where he learns Helping hand, level 43 where he learns Agility, and level 49 where he learns Flamethrower.
Also you may vote on what reserves I grind after Erika to level 29. The choices are Karp karp, Pestilence, Scep, Bumbles, Dee-darr, Fluffles, Zephyr, Pcebro, and Endo.
In addition do I evolve Dee-darr now or later. The choices are now, level 35 when he learns Moonlight, or wait for Bellossom. (Both Gloom and Vileplume learn Petal dance)
Also should I evolve Fluffles, or let him keep his ability
Hm, you could just give him the TM for Flamethrower. Otherwise it's going to get difficult for him to keep up.
Wait for Moonlight and then go for Vileplume. Staying a Gloom until post-game is way too long.
I wanted a Vaporeon
Yeah for 80000 dollars I don't have and are currently being tied up for Porygon. (I will get the money before it learns it though) So what level do you think I should evolve Sunspot?
For Dee-darr remember as a reserve it doesn't really matter what his skill level is.
For Sunspot, I'd say evolve sooner rather than later. You can always TM flamethrower. If memory serves, helping hand isn't all that useful, and agility, while helpful, might not be best if it means waiting for level 43. Honestly don't know the moveset Growlithe/Arcanine have in gen III, I ended up going straight from Gold to Heart Gold, they get any decent physical fire attacks this gen?
For backups, I'd say train up Karp Karp, Bumbles, Endo, and Zephyr.
Honestly forget who Fluffles is, so cannot comment on that one.
I have no preference for Dee-darr, though seeing its fully evolved form obsessed with nothing but skittles could be cute. Forget which evolution that is though...
Well I tend to be swimming in money in any run, Nuzlocke or not, so I think just evolving now would be one of the better ideas, and after Porygon go for a Flamethrower TM. I also would just suck it up and use the slots, however, so your mileage may vary. You could cheat and make the game run slow while you're at the slots, as well.

Fire attacks are always special in this gen. The only attack Arcanine can learn is extreme speed. Which it does at level 49 anyway. So that has no relevance.
Fluffles is the Meowth.
You have two more votes, do you wish to use them (Remember the first post comes with a cast list)

Okay. Do you wish to use your reserve grinding votes?
A friend is running an Arcanine with Dig, Bite, Aerial Ace, and Flamethrower. Forget which tms you've used but its a pretty solid set up. Might want to throw extreme speed in for one of them though.

I used Dig, (But can always get another one) and need to wait for the move relearner to learn Bite. (Sunspot was too high a level at first.)

Huh, never noticed the cast list before. Guess I should check the first post more often then.
Ok then, yeah, just evolve Sunspot, as an Arcanine has far more survivability than a Growlithe.
Other team members to train? I say Fluffles, though don't evolve him for now at least, and Dee-Darr as my last pick.
Yes I want a fire stone. To evolve my Growlithe
Yay! The power boost will make it easier to fulfill Mistress's wishes
Here you go Sunspot. Let's see your full power.
Arcanine the loyal pokemon. Arcanine's are very devoted to their trainers, Whether it is true loyalty or fear is unknown.
What are you doing staring in the gym?
Perv.
But doesn't Erika have a duty to accept all challenges, even if the challenger is male?
*sigh* Not touching.
I doubt it.
I'll do you a favor and assume you were talking about a battle.
You know plants are really good at producing substances for medication.
Um.... oh no?
I know this.
Um no. Even if I were that perverted, I don't swing that way.
Um.... In what way?
...You know what. Fine I was looking in here you caught me!
Um. Okay.
Um. All pokemon have non-combat uses.
If anything I'm over estimating how tough you'll be.
There's not going to be a next time.
Sunspot will have fun.
I...I did good right Mistress!
Yes Sunspot you did.
She's famous all around Kanto, and some areas of Johto.
Hobby, not talent.
How does politeness and battle intersect at all?
Erika. I ….
Erika Wow! You're pretty! I would...
Sorry don't swing that way. ... pah. Stupid sexy straight girl.
I challenge you to a three on three battle. Victreebel you're up first
Sunspot go.
Sunspot burn her to the ground! Flame wheel Sunspot charged at the Victreebel surrounded by an aura of flame. The charge instantly burn though the thing, leaving it in pieces on the floor. Huh. Not bad. Tangela your turn!
Sunspot burn this one up to. Flame wheel.
Yeah! That's the way. The Tangela never stood a chance, the instant Sunspot touched it. It ignited, it screamed in agony, the few tentacles un-burned flailing. Arceus you're violent, you may want to calm down a bit miss. Vileplume go!
Sunspot let's finish this! Flame wheel! It'll take more then your savagery to fell my Vileplume, Stunspore! Sunspot had attacked this one just like the first one, but unlike that one it had managed to resist the attack, and unleashed a cloud of particles into the air. Sunspot.... Finish her now!
Yes Mistress! Vileplume here's a hyper potion.
*yelp* I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Sunspot finish it! Vileplume acid!
Sunspot. Now's your chance. Vileplume acid again. You brutish thug.
... Do you have a sadistic streak?
First person to get the title gets approval from me!
Comments are appreciated.
You may still vote on reserve grinding. I can't promise I will accept it. But up to the point I actually start grinding, I will accept votes.
Sunspot looks prettier now!
"Sorry, I don't swing that way"
Also got a nice stat boost.
My thinking about Melinda's oration went like this.
Tons of things can be interpreted as les-yay in Kanto. It could come across as mary-sueish if Melinda was interested in girls. Because either Kanto's a hot-spot for lesbians and bi chicks, or Melinda can make even straight girls crush on her.
Meanwhile if she clearly does not want it, it becomes funny.
I decided to spend some time training the pokemon I don't normally use again. I don't want Gary beating me in the pokedex. Pestilence we'll start with you. I want to say thank you for beating obedience into Sunspot.
Can I beat obedience into any of your other pokemon?
If they start getting disobedient. Except Jango, I have a much better control system in place.
*****
Mommy that meat-shield scares me!
Okay Biollante, we'll let the rest of the team handle protecting him. Okay?
Yay! Thank you Mommy
Arceus. I don't think you should handle this Pestilence, Let Red Baron take it.
Hey Meowth! Can you live without your whiskers?
Meowth Wait what? Pestilence had ripped off Meowth's whiskers after it bit it
Huh I would have let you live, if you hadn't bit me.
Don't get any gore on me.
...Yum. I was feeling peckish
Oddish Ahhhhhh!!!! Stop You sadistic freak!
Make me.
Eh. No offense but your only good for high accuracy sleep powders.
At least they can't fight back while they are sleeping.
Yup another thing you can't handle, let Red baron handle it. I'll burn you alive, you'll scream in agony!!!!
I guess turnabout is fair play.
Really?
Does supersonic ever actually hit when you need it?
Point.
Okay Pestilence. I think we're done for now.
Okay Melinda.
Fluffles it's your turn.
Let's see how many things we can see today.
You won't have any issue fighting your own kind right?
Not at all!
See no problem.
...No problem. You sprayed me in gore!!!!! I'm going to have to put this though so many cycles!
Well, why don't you take this and get some new clothes, my treat.
No because that would be a waste of my time. You're cleaning my clothes tonight,
Be careful about it status effects.
...Or you can ignore it I guess.
Yum! Pidgey's are tasty!!!!
Beats carrying food for you.
No one will evade me!
Arceus I swear grinding with you, is like having a horn of plenty.
Yeah I'm pretty awesome.
Red Baron, why did I ever box you.
Because Eevee's are masters of adaptability, and you thought adaptability was better than the sky.
Also you don't care for us.
Not true! I care for Biollante!
I... I don't feel well!
Oh awesome. You're probably evolving,.
Nice.
... What?
I... I dunno. When I was in town ready to box Fluffles, and work with someone else. A girl insisted on letting me talk to her,
Passerby girl You're the girl that crushed team rocket, right?
Um, why? i had Sunspot's ball at the ready. Well I was working there....
Well I'm sorry for your job but.... No, no, no you don't understand, I hated working for team rocket, but as soon as I realized what was happening they threatened my family. I'm happy you wrecked Giovanni.
Um. Some private company took us over, and now I don't have to watch dozens of pokemon being kept in tiny cages. Thank you.
You're welcome
But but....
Jango shut up. Here. I'd like to give you this, I know you're a trainer, and I figured a artificial pokemon could help you.
Oh. Wow Thank you really. It's fine, Seriously thank you. Now what personality should he start with? I thought for a moment Um could... could he be like a old guy always complaining about how things were better when he was a kid. Uh yeah sure if you want. What's his name?
Grumbles 2. Okay. Here you go.
Grumbles, Grumbles... do you remember me?
Lady is not contained in data banks. What shall I call you?
... Oh. Uh Melinda will be fine. What did you want to say Jango?
You didn't help that lady. At least not intentionally. Helping her was inconsequential to beating them up for attack you.
I know that. But still it was nice. I don't get many gifts. Or at least not many that aren't blatant attempts to sleep with me.
Um... how do you know she didn't want to sleep with you?
*snerk* I'm very good at telling when people want to sleep with me. If not over sensitive. I don't think she did. I think she was just thanking me for helping her. It was nice. Really nice.
