This is pretty much the way I play, bar the starter bit. I choose what to use as I play the game, catching and training anything that looks interesting, but I always try not to re-use anything just for the sake of avoiding repetition. I love using certain Pokémon in every team (ie Sandslash <3) but for the most part I aim to use completely different members each time to get some diversity going. As for starters, I usually end up abandoning them because they're all very samey too, but I occasionally choose to use them if they take my fancy at the time haha. Usually the cuties like Cyndaquil :D
Same here, my team gets put together as I play, and I don't reuse Pokemon on different runs. I try not to duplicate types, and more importantly have a diverse team when it comes stats, so I can have a both physical and special attackers, fast Pokemon and bulky Pokemon, you get the gist. As for their roles, I always have a Surfer, but I can live without a Flyer and other HM users before I beat the game. I change my lead Pokemon often, I don't like to solo my runs, so I try to keep my team at an even level. And when it comes to starters, I haven't used the same starter in different games yet, so I've used Snivy, Oshawott and Tepig, in this order. The first two made it in my final teams, as a Serperior and Samurott, but I stopped using Tepig after he evolved into Pignite, I just didn't like him that much and I wanted to use other Pokemon as well.
Woo update time! If you're expecting me to have done loads, then you're wrong. I've done basically nothing. Almost done with Black 2 though, I beat Marlon the other day and am currently looking for Route 21. I have no idea where that is though, go me. Have a rather overleveled and underleveled team at the same time, I don't even know how that happens.
Well, the weekend's here! Finally {XD} I don't have much time to play during workdays, so if you're anything like me, maybe now's the time to venture on to Rt 21? I know I'll try to get some training done :)

I started off the day by beating my rival. His Pokemon didn't give me too much trouble, and afterwards I went off to Goldenrod City.
After arriving there I got my Radio Card and got Whitney to head back to her gym. I went to go check out the Pokemon in the area before going to the gym, when I was challenged by some trainers.
I was surprised when my Hoppip evolved into Skipbloom after a battle. When I spoke to the Pokemon, she nudged me, and I nudged her back. So. so. CUTE.
After that, I decided to head to the gym. I beat most of the trainers with the help of both Quilava and Skipbloom. I know that taking on Whitney will be hard, so I plan to train some more before taking her on...
Hehe, the "follow me" feature, or whatever it's called, is
so cute, and even cuter with such an adorable partner! I honestly can't wait for Gen 6 and the new Amie feature ♥
Completed
Now Im Going To Complete Pokemon Diamond :)
Congrats, it seems like you are cruising through those games! From a quick glance at your teams, it looks like you like to focus more on your starter than the rest of the team. How come?
Thanks :) Well, if anyone were to suggest new teammates for my LeafGreen, I won't object ;)
Your teams are very diverse, I like that! Did you have any pleasant surprises while training, any Pokemon that exceeded your expectations and fared better than you thought it would? You don't have to use him if you don't wanna, but I'll suggest Meowth/Persian for your LG
I'm on the cats teamis it too obvious
