Maybe. Johto starters are the only ones I really like (though I guess Kanto are okay), but I usually try to make mine fairly even.

probably but not by too many levels because then when you want to train a weaker pokemon,theres nothing good to train them on cuz u beat everyone with ur starter,that happened to me in emerald,the only place i had to train my level 35 pokemon was the ocean and ionly had 2 pkmn in the 40's

Yeah, most likely. I always seem to give the starter special treatment. But I do want to focus on others, especially since this a long game.

I doubt it. I'll probably ditch my starter after i've defeated Lance after the Johto Gyms, grab my Shiny Sneasel off Platinum, give it all my rare candies, trade til i get some more, get it to Lv.45, then set off for Kanto, just with that one pokemon (lol, like Silver). So my Shiny Weavile will probably end up being my strongest pokemon, at lv.90 (i'll try to keep only 2 levels stronger than Red's Pikachu).

I'll end up with a team simply 2 levels higher than Red's:

Weavile lv.90
????? lv.86
????? lv.86
????? lv.86
????? lv.84
????? lv.82

I will keep it the strongest until about the sixth gym. Then i will try to get all my pokemon at least 5 levels higher than they already were. And from there i will get all my pokemon to the same level as my highest level. This method has gotten me through all the pokemon games easily so far.

Example My highest level pokemon is Meganium at level 30. I will raise it to 35. Then train the rest of my pokemon to level 35.

I'm considering plans to swap my starter, for the lulz of it, but I tend to keep my Starter within 5 levels higher than the rest of my team. Just seems wrong when something out levels him.... :/

I wouldn't do it though I did that on my first pokemon game(fire red) and it ended up being my best game.... I learned my lesson once I tried it on my emerald and got to know more about different teams and how they were equally leveled I began leveling equally.

Mine is generally the highest level and first to be trained. I usually train them equally but my starter is awsome and owns if another member fails.

Probably not. I did that years ago with my old Meganium, but I get a little carried away. I have a problem with doting on one single Pokemon, and the Pokemon Team that I am planning for this game is going to rock more than any team I have ever had, so I am going to keep them all at equal strength. I am going to actually start battling people over Wi-Fi when I get that game and beat it.

I tend to even my team out, but my starter will be the strongest for a while.
