    Well, unless the Garr-hating stops I have no reason to change my competition team. In terms of storyline team, eh, whichever powerful species I happen across. Though once I get the last badge I will be Garring the hell out of whoever's left to garr.

    This thread comes a little late for me, since I have the Japanese version of Platinum. XD

    But my Japanese team was...:

    Empoleon, Garchomp, Espeon, Staraptor, Lopunny and Luxray.
    I completed up to victory over the Elite Four with the Pokemon mentioned at Level 54, Level 55, Level 53, Level 53, Level 54 and finally... Level 53, respectively. I admittedly used Garchomp for most of the battle against Cynthia, due to her weakness to Dragon and Ground types in her hard-hitters. As for why Espeon rather than Glaceon... I wanted a Psychic type, but didn't want to use Chimecho or Alakazam. (the latter being the previously most-used in playthroughs, for me)

    As for when I purchase it in English... Hmm...

    I'll probably go with Torterra, since I've used Empoleon in every playthrough, thus far. Glaceon will also be a Pokemon I will use in my English playthrough, but I'll likely trade to my Diamond Version so that I don't have to wait until I get to Snowpoint City to evolve it, and actually get a suitable Ice type attack on it. Area evolutions are a real pain when you've not got that far, yet...

    As for the rest... pending. I'm not entirely sure what other Pokemon I'll use. But since I used Garchomp in my Japanese playthrough, I won't be using it in my English playthrough.

    It's so hard to choose. But I think I finally have an idea~ >x> It'll change, I know it.

    Monferno
    Tegetic/Togekiss
    Leafeon
    Pikachu/Luxray/Zapdos. >w< I can't decide. Probably not Zapdos, but it's my favorite bird. =<
    Dewgong
    And maybe Absol.

    I still really want a Turtwig, but I wanted a different starter for a change. ^_^'

    I'm between two choises here. On the other hand, I'd like to use only 4th pokemon like in my Diamond (especially because you can have some earlier in Platinum), but on the other hand it would be nice to trade my final, (newly hatched) competitive team to Platinum already in the beginning so I wouldn't have to train another team later.
    If I go for the '4th gen poke'-plan, I'll probably have
    Empoleon
    Togekiss
    Roserade
    Gallade
    Glaceon
    Mismagius

    because they are all new pokemon that I like but haven't used them in my team yet. If I were to trade, I could have Blaziken, Meganium, Azumarill, Flygon and... two more. :P

    I'm really not sure yet. I'm going to just try with pokemon that are native to the place instead of trading for my favorties. so it'll basically be
    Infernape, Garchomp, Roserade, Gengar, luxray, and weavile.

    Hrmm. Interesting Question.
    Well, I guess it will be a bit like this:

    Infernape, Crobat, Magmortar/Electivire, Leafeon/Glaceon [Haven't decided yet], Drifblim and Rotom

    Although, Drifblim is prior to switch 'cuz I used it alot in D/P, Maybe with Garchomp.

    I think I'll use something very similar to my Pearl team:
    Monferno
    Luxray
    Gastrodon
    Roserade
    Mismagius
    Drifblim

    May use Staraptor as flying, haven't had him since my first play-through.
