I will be doing that as well, if I get HG or SS. Then later on I will trade.

Talking of starting fresh, once i've successfully defeated Red and have the choice of a Kanto and Hoenn starter, I plan on boxing my Hall of Fame team that will have helped me collect 16 badges and defeat the Elite 4. From then, i'm going to start from Pallet Town with my choice of Kanto starter (probably Charmander) and build a new team. My goal will be to defeat all 16 Gym Leaders again with the new team in the Fighting Dojo, enter them into the Hall of Fame, and defeat Red as I did with my first team. :)

If i'm patient, i'll consider building a third team with the Hoenn starter, but that's unlikely. :p

Mmm....maybe I'll just use Cyndaquil. I'll wait like everyone else to get Larvitar at Mt. Silver...

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.
That's what I do every game, I always have what I call, "The get through the game team." I make sure they have good natures, ok IV, and I EV train a bit, after I beat the game I make my crazy team and battle my friends. *Yes I Have Friends*

Of course! And I'm using the same team as I did on Gold--
Typhlosion, Ampharos, Quagsire, Granbull, Espeon, Gengar, Suicune, Red Gyrados, Kingler, Dodrio, Marowak, Clefable, Jumpluff, Fearow..? No, Noctowl!

I CAN'T DECIDE!!! TT_TT I've played through my pokemon G/C that I can't decide what team to use....

I like ALL of them... Dx

Definitly. I'll only be trading my Arceus, Shiny-Pichu, and Jirachi over since they're event Pokemon.

I've already selected the four Pokemon I'm going to use, they are...

Typhlosion
Bellossom
Espeon
Octillery

So, no... I'm not going to trade over any Pokemon until after I've beaten the game. :D

I'm doing a variation of that. I'm breeding a team of competitive Pokémon at Lv. 1 and sending them over to HG when I get it. That way, I can technically start fresh while not starting fresh. I love loopholes like that :D
Yeah! Loopholes are the way for me.....because I will trade over some eggs, then hatch 'em, then train them........

Heck yeah, I find it out of touch for me to trade so early into the game. I only did that once in my emerald version, I had 2 of the starters on my team. But no I plan to start off fresh, my chikorita and pidgey. And probably a magikarp as well lol

I just finished my national dex on diamond so i'm planning on starting completely fresh (only trading over my event poke's and the ones you cannot actually get in this game, after completing everything else). Looking forward to it!

Post E4 is the general rule, before that I will only trade eggs if I can't get the pokemon I want, but it's never anything too strong.

I wanna breed the ones I want but when you trade them over they disobey you if you don't have enough badges D:

I always start fresh and I never trade pokemon from other games (with the exception of version exclusives).
Once I've beaten Red and everything, then I'll start trading Pokemon just to build up my collection. :P

That's what I did with platinum ^^

I'd rather not start fresh because I would rather not waste my time getting a good team all over again.

Personally, I'm just gonna play the dang game. It's so much more fun that way, if you ask me. I'm not gonna worry about IVs, EVs, Natures, or any of that jazz for a while into the game. Won't be trading until probably after I have all 16 Badges.

The only Pokemon I'll trade before I beat the game are the Event Pichu and Jirachi. But none else.

I'm basically doing what I did for Platinum-trade 5 Pokémon over and choose a starter.

Last night I was busy breeding and here's my team:
Swinub-Level 1
Delibird-Level 1
Torchic-Level 1
Zigzagoon-Level 1
Mudkip-Level 1

And then my starter will be Chikorita.
I've covered all of the types I use the most, and I tend to stay well away from physic/dark/bug/ghost Pokémon because I always forget their weaknesses and resistances. :P

EDIT: just realised 3 of these are Hoenn and 3 are Johto. As I've never properly used Johto Pokémon, and rushed through Emerald without only 3 uber strong Pokémon...this'll be good.
