Do you wait till the game is over to create your official team?

I actually plan out my in-game team using the same basic process one would use to build a competitive team...just without caring about EVs and natures too much...even a Sassy Crobat can be used on an ingame team with no troubles. I just make sure all my ingame pokemon are male so they can more easily pass their attacks down to their children that do eventually get EV trained and become a long-term member of my wifi team. XD
 
I always create my team after the game is over.
so that I have more time to roam about and train My Pokemon.
 
Neither, I create my teams before I start playing. Honestly, I've beaten Pokemon so much that I find it more fun to come up with the teams and then try to get them.
 
I work on them during the game. Natures, sometimes IVs, and of course some moves. But it's a lot easier to do it AFTER I beat the game.
 
Occasionally, although I mostly like to do it afterwards. :3
 
Nope, I don't even think of teams, I just throwdown my current favorite pokemon into whatever fits.
 
I'll typically create my official team by breeding after I'm done playing through it, so I can use the breeding process to get egg moves and better IV's for my main team.

But I'll put a lot of thought even into my in-game team that I'll use to beat the game.

This, to be honest. I try to come up with balanced teams and even movesets before I even start the game. :O

Sometimes I make it up as I go. But I never make my team after the E4 (unless it's a new addition or for EV training).
 
I made my official team after beating Leaf Green and Emerald once. Now it owns Battle frontier without much problem.
 
I very rarely make my official team after beating the game. I've only done that one time, and it was only because my official team was only 4 Pokemon as opposed to the normal 6. But my official team is always my "beat the E4" team. That's the game for me, haha. I don't care too much for stuff after the E4.

To be honest, nowadays, I only play Pokemon when I'm doing a Challenge. So it sort of takes moveset planning to work well. Pokemon just isn't much of a challenge for me anymore.
 
When i start to think about it, yes i think i actually do that. I win the pokemon league
then i start looking for the pokemon i want with movesets and stats etc.
 
Quite the opposite. I plan what Pokemon I'm going to use throughout the game before I even start it. I keep the same team throughout the whole game, and I never get rid of the starter.
 
Simple for me. My regular teams differ from my competitive teams. For instance, I would never use the strategies I use in competitive battles in regular play, and if I use those strategies for regular play on Wi-Fi, I'd get owned. I build my regular (offline, non-competitive) teams as I go through the game, and after its over, I build my competitive teams.
 
I plan the team out in terms of deciding who I will use competitively and what-not, but I don't actually begin to build the team until after I've beaten the Elite Four. It just opens up any EV locations I might not have had earlier on in the game.
 
i build my competative team after i beat the league, and its completly different to my regular team.
Except for yellow, where my team was the same in game to battling my brother
 
I usually just make a balanced team out of the Pokémon that I can catch in-game until I beat the Elite Four. When I have the full range of Pokémon available to me (ie. the National Dex) I'll start up a proper team with the right EVs and IVs and all that jazz (not that it makes much of a difference, I'm hopeless when it comes to strategy anyway).
 
I actually planned to have a certain team in HG and I forgot to use ~most~ besides Ampharos and Typhlosion which were like obvious. In B/W, I'll probably want a team of Koromori, the Swan, Chiramii, Shimama, Caterpie Clone and Wooguru, but then again, I most likely will use whatever I see is strongest. :(

In other words... no, I just have a team of Pokemon built up throughout gameplay and then grind their levels so they're stronger than they really should be, idk.
