Right now I went with a classic line up of Gen 1 poke'mon.

Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise/Gengar/Dragonite/Kangaskhan.

This is just the lineup to get me through the game.

I want to keep a Charizard, a Kengaskhan, and a Gengar in the lineup as of now. If I use a mega evolution, it will be for Kengaskhan.

Right now I'm thinking of swapping out Blastoise for a Magikarp and get a Gyrados.
The problem with this idea is it would be a poke'mon even MORE susceptible to electric attacks. Need to check if I can still teach him EarthQuake before I make any decisions.

Venusaur may need swapping out, Grass really doesn't counter all that much. Any opinions?

Still not sure if I should keep Dragonite, whats the take on that Poke'mon?

Also Lapras has always perked my interests, but AFAIK Gyrados is the better Poke'

I might swap him out with a Ralts and go for Gardevoir. I could use a good Fairy/Psychic type Poke'mon in my line up. Not crazy about MewTwo since I can't train him from level 1, and my Gengar hardcounters Fighting type Poke'mon once I teach him Psychic.

Need to breed some perfect IV's, don't know how long that'll take. If anyone has some Poke'mon with perfect IV's let me know.

BTW I could use some friends that avidly play the game. Anyone wanna add me into their friendslist?

Charizard is only good in its Mega form as well; its regular form is outclassed otherwise. The charm that comes with using Mega Charizard is that your opponent will never know what form you're using until you actually Mega Evolve. In Battle Spot, having 2 Megas is okay, since you can choose the Mega you want to use depending on the team you're up against; picking both Pokemon for the battle would be pointless.

Ideal sets for each:

Kangaskhan:
-Fake Out/Power-Up Punch
-Return
-Sucker Punch
-Earthquake/Crunch
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy

Charizard:
-Dragon Dance
-Flare Blitz/Fire Punch
-Dragon Claw/Outrage
-Earthquake/Roost
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

or
-Dragon Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Fire Punch/Earthquake
-Roost
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 144 HP/244 Atk/120 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

or
-Fire Punch/Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Will-o-Wisp
-Roost
Nature: Careful
EVs: 248 HP/148 SDef/112 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

or
-Fire Blast
-Solar Beam
-Focus Blast
-Dragon Pulse/Roost
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Charizardite Y

If you opted for Charizard Y, Chlorophyll Venusaur is a good teammate:
-Giga Drain/Solar Beam/Leaf Storm
-Sludge Bomb
-Hidden Power (Fire)/Earthquake
-Sleep Powder
Nature: Modest/Rash
EVs: 24 HP/252 SAtk/232 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll

Gengar's best sets are below. It can either act as a sweeper, with Destiny Bond to take out opponents that would KO it, or as a utility Substitute attacker:
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Focus Blast/Thunderbolt
-Destiny Bond
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash

or
-Substitute
-Shadow Ball
-Will-o-Wisp
-Taunt/Sludge Bomb/Focus Blast/Disable
Nature: Timid
EVs: 28 HP/148 SAtk/80 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Black Sludge

Don't even think about using Lapras. It's outclassed by Gyarados and other Water Pokemon because of its bad defensive typing and average attacking stats. Gyarados is much better:
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Ice Fang/Bounce
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry

or
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Waterfall
-Dragon Tail/Roar/Dragon Dance
Nature: Impish
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate

Dragonite's main catch is Multiscale, which halves the amount of damage it takes from full health:
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Extreme Speed
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/24 Def/232 Spe
Item: Lum Berry/Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale

or
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Extreme Speed
-Fire Punch/Dragon Claw
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Multiscale

or
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Extreme Speed
-Roost
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 216 HP/64 Atk/228 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Multiscale
