Not until I get to Red, because I know he'll cause me great frustration if I don't trade my Platinum team over.

I'm going to start fresh to have a challenge, I won't trade my other pokemon to the game until I have beaten Red. I mean what's so fun about beating gyms and the elite four with all level 100s.

I've never traded in a pre-prepared team for a new file before, and it's unlikely i'll start with SoulSilver. Feraligatr is a cert for my team as Totodile was my first ever starter on Silver all those years ago, and i'm intent on building a strong team using Pokemon that I catch within the game itself.

I might restart at some point if i'm either dissatisfied with my first playthrough or get bored, in which case I might then try my hand at trading in some eggs.

I prefer pokemon with high attack/sp attack and speed over pokemon that can barely be offensive at all.

I see no point in using Noctowl ingame since its defensive capabilities goes to waste basically. Pidgeot is also bad offensively (80 base attack compared to Staraptor's 120), which is why i'm going to use Staraptor. Staraptor also learns way better moves than Noctowl and Pidgeot in my opinion.

I don't really think of those things. XD To be honest with you, I don't pay too much attention to stats or having a team with the best offense or something like that. I just train my Pokemon based on who I like or for other special reason. I train as best I can and hope for the best!

Other than trading over my TRU Arceus and Pikachu-Colored Pichu to unlock the in-game events, I don't have any plans to transfer over any other Pokémon to my SoulSilver file. I usually like starting fresh when I purchase a new game, taking my time so I don't miss anything while still enjoying the game.

After that, I'll trade over any Pokémon from either DPPt or migrate from my GBA games to form new teams for future challenges. If I do get bored after time, I might always reset the game and come up with teams from all regions while trading seeing as I've already gotten my fresh start before.

Hmmm...i will, most probably, trade over a Shiny Sneasel (dunno which one though).
Yeah, get me, i have two...

That'd be for Kanto though.As i plan to:

-Johto-journey through like normal
-Kanto-Keep starter, trade over my Shiny Sneasel, collect an entirely new team.

So, i'm doing an impression of Ash and Pikachu in the anime.

I'm definitely starting fresh with SoulSilver. I have traded sets of Lv. 5 starters over to my Ruby and Emerald games after I beat Sapphire, but all my other games I've used Pokemon that I catch in-game to beat the Elite Four. I just feel that trading over powerful Pokemon to beat up gyms and the Elite Four takes so much of the challenge and fun out of the game. Right now I've got an in-game team planned with some Pokemon that I love but have never used for main gameplay before, so I'm really excited about starting fresh. After I beat the Elite Four, I'll probably trade over some Pokemon from my Diamond and Platinum games for Pokedex and breeding purposes, but I do all of my competitive battling out of my Platinum game. It's got good move tutors and access to high-level trainers for level-grinding after I EV train, and it's compatible with Pokemon Battle Revolution. If SoulSilver is compatible is PBR, then I may reconsider. Other than that, I'll do most of my breeding on Diamond because I can send the extras over to Pokemon Ranch on the Wii so I don't have to release them (I'm trying to get to 1000 so I can trade for a Mew). I'll use SoulSilver for IV breeding, Egg Move breeding, and Move Tutors primarily.

I've always been the type of person to start over fresh. The only time I would trade in a pokemon from a different game is if I had a particular attachment to it (i'll eventually trade over my Staraptor from Diamond, cause I love it so much! ^^)

That's what I plan to do in HG/SS. I want to start fresh and level up all of my Pokemon, I don't want to end up trading in my level 100 Torterra to help me beat up everybody. XD I will only trade the event Pokemon right away, but the rest will come probably close to when I'm done with the main game.

Exact same. Except I might even wait on the events! I want to enjoy the game before I dominate it! XD

I'm gonna start fresh, but only for like, a bit.

I'm just going to trade over my Mew from Platinum that no one believes isn't hacked.

And then, all of my other pokemon companions can travel to the distant continent of GameStop.

I usually don't trade any Pokemon from other games until I've beatin' the main game. It just doesn't seem fair in a way to me. Besides my favorite Pokemon from other games wouldn't have listened to me in the new game anyway...so why not start fresh?

I'm planning on buying both versions of the game so I'll probably play legit on one and import a level 1 dreamteam party on the second.

Like I did for Platinum, I'm going to plan my team around now by breeding the Pokémon I want. I think I'll have two Pokémon from Gen. 1, two from Gen. 2, and then 1 from Gen. 3, and 1 from Gen. 4. :P
