My starter used to always be about 20 levels over all my other Pokémon, but that ended with the release of D/P/Pt.

So I will not be making my starter the strongest.

Up until I've beaten the Pokemon league, probably. But I'm aiming to only have 3/4 Pokemon initially, so they'll be fairly equal.

Well, that's what I usually do. Not by several levels though, I like to keep them all around the same, but generally my starter is a couple levels higher than the rest.

Normally, my starter only remains my strongest Pokémon on the team during the early parts of the game. After my team starts to build up for the Elite Four, I have a habit of over training them all and keeping them all equally at the same level. So, only after a certain point will my starter become equal with the rest of the team.

Though, after reaching the Elite, the levels start to become unbalanced and I leave it all to chance for who ever becomes the strongest on the team. Most cases it isn't my starter although I don't doubt it may be possible for Quilava to be the highest level this time around.

I'm pretty obsessive about keeping my Pokemon's levels at around the same level, but I usually have my starter two or three levels above. So, to answer your question, yes.

In the beginning of the game, my levels are pretty unbalanced as well, since I noticed that I usually don't catch my second Pokemon until after the first gym or so (at least for G/S/C).

No, I always train all my pokemon evenly. Having one pokemon so much stronger then the others isn't the best strategy. Atleast for me.

Nu uh. I always made this mistake until my 10th time playing through Leaf Green. I ended up having a level 87 Pidgeot when I reached the E4. I plan to make a super strong Furret for the E4 this time. :D

My starter usually ends up being slightly stronger than my other Pokémon, but I don't try to make it happen.

Dunno, I don't think I will train it as much as the others but I'm not too sure, that will depend of my mood.

My starter pokemon always seems to become my strongest, so yes, this will probably happen.

I'll make my starter what I make my starter.
I'll likely have it at a higher level than the rest of my party.

There is such a thing as Lucky Egg + traded awesomeness (Garchomp, Scizor, Lucario, Hippowdon, Tyranitar)

I like to keep my party all within one or two levels of each other, so not for long. :P

Heck yes. But I will keep my E4 team within 5 levels of each other (Typhlosion will be highest leveled).
