Let's say this is the beginning of the game. It's probably going to be:

Chikorita
Spearow
Mareep
Staryu
Abra
Growlithe

It'll probably change mid-game, but we'll see. lol :D

I'll go with Totodile like I did in my old Gold game since the water types were pretty rare. But if they are better and more common in this version maybe Chikorita. I was never a fan of Cyndaquil.

I know I'll one of the starters on my team if not all, I guess it just depends when during the game we'll be allowed to trade with different versions.

I had a rough time with my starter. I mean, I always liked Typhloshion, but it has a terrible moveset to me with very little options. After all, Typhloshion has a high special attack, but most of its moves are physical. Feraligatr, has the best moveset out of the 3 starters to me, but I wanted to have Red Gyrados on my team. For they both are water types who have high attack and can use waterfall. Meganium is kind of one of my favorites so that's why I have a lvl. 100 in pt, and I don't want a 2nd one. Also, I can't decide whether to use it for attack or special attack. Well, here's my list then:

Typloshion- Flamethrower, Focus Blast, Hidden Power (electric), Rest/Swift
Red Gyrados- Waterfall, Earthquake, Avalanche, Stone Edge
Crobat- Fly, X-Scissor, Cross-Poison, Steel Wing
Starmie- Power Gem/Hidden Power (rock/ground), Surf, Ice Beam, Psychic/Thunder Wave/Recover
Miltank- Zen headbutt, Body Slam/Dizzy Punch, Brick Break, Milk Drink/Mega Punch

I was going to use Scizor instead of Miltank, but Miltank seems less used and yet so capable. Anyways, I couldn't decide for the last slot. So here's my options:

Hitmontop- Rolling Kick, Rock Slide, Aerial Ace, Earthquake
Tangrowth- Energy Ball, Ancient Power, Sunny Day, Rest/Focus Blast
Lickilicky- Surf, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball
Clefable- Psychic, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball
Espeon- Psychic, Shadow Ball, Grass Knot, Hidden Power (fighting)

For 2 of them, they're evos of kanto pokemon that evolve from moves in case that happens in HG/SS.

6. Lugia

Togekiss is to suprise the enemy and either defeat or suprise the enemy on how strong Togekiss is.
Manaphy and Celebi are to be strong, and defeat or make the enemy weary.
Gallade and Lucario are kind of strong, and to defeat or to make the enemy to his last of pokemon.
Lugia is to defeat the remaining pokemon with ease.

In seventy percent of the time I played G/S I started with tot, only about 25 % cyndaqil and once I started as with chikorita. I think this time I may start with totdile again because I love Water pokémon . and it is so useful . I was quite sad when I played it first time round and had a quagsire as main water Pokémon because it could'nt learn waterfall.

But I think for the rest I wold be intrigued to play it liek I played in my (still not finished) rerun of emaerald where I just train any pokémon I catch to a certain level and choose on the way to the league which I like best and whohc I keep mainly :) (Through that I have a whole box of around level 40 Pokémon :D )

I really like crobat , SO I may possibly include that too, as well as I love Ampharos and Magneton. One thing that would speak for taking cyndaquil again for a start pokemon would be that in the past the fire Pokémon in Gold /silver have been quite scarce, and since I am not such a fan of ninetales I am unlikely to use it.

Another intruiging idea is to finally use tentacool as a team memeber , I always though i could use it once but I still havent doen so, but I give it a try at some point surely :)

I plan to have only 2nd generation pokemon in my team, at least before the PokeLeague.

Meganium
Houndoom
Azumarill
Ampharos
Umbreon... I think.
A flying pokemon, probably Togetic (later evolved to Togekiss) but it could be Skarmory too.

If I choose Cyndaquil, I would have at least Typhlosion, Quagsire, Furret and Jumpluff, because they don't fit to that other team... I have too many 2nd gen pokemon I like. :P

I just might be doing my Crystal lineup instead of starting up with Meganium:



Abraham the Typlosion,
Wilber the Poliwrath,
Vincent the Victreebel,
Sapphie the Butterfree,
Kitty the Jynx,
& Jennifer the Wigglytuff

(Jennifer was shiny in my Crystal, so I'll see If I can make this one shiny as well).

Or I'll see how it goes.
I always somehow end up with a team anyway.\How do you think I made this one?

Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Jolteon, Tyranitar, and the other two are as of yet undecided. Probably a Blissey and Lugia (I'm getting Soul Silver, so I while have plenty of time to raise it by the time I get to Red >:3 )

in my signature you can see my future party, but i was wondering if you could like train your future party on D/P/Pt and then when HG/SS releases catch 5 junk pokémon with those 5 pokéballs you get at the start and then trade your fully ev'd (XD) new party from D/P/Pt to HG/SS? would that be possible or will it be like you can't trade with D/P/Pt 'till you beat the e4 or something like that?

2: scyther/scizor
3: ponyta/rapidash
4: mareep/flaaffy/ampharos
5: krabby/kingler

i'm still unsure about most of them, but i know for sure that i'll be starting off with chikorita.

i'd probably assume that you can't get any other pokemon outside of the johto region until after you beat the elite 4 or get the national dex, like D/P/Pl.

Typhlosion
Noctowl
Umbreon
Gyrados
Scizor
Gengar

I'm hoping to get a shiny Umbreon, and the rest of them I just like. xD
Used Typhlosion in Crystal, so he's coming back. xD
Although if you can trade with D/P/Pl early on (I doubt it,) I'm sending over a Shiny Swablu.

I can't make up my mind now. I love water types but I'm starting to fancy the grass ones too...I voted Chikorita but I honestly haven't decided. xD

Besides the starter I hope to have a bird pokemon, a ground pokemon, an electric pokemon, water/grass (depending which starter I get) pokemon, and the 6th I don't know.

Specific Pokemon? I really don't care. As long as it has the listed types above. ^_^

I'll make my choices once I get the game :)

No idea. But at the moment I'm having a run through on platinum, only using pokemon I never use/tend not to use. I'll end up deciding pretty spontaneously when I get the game.
