    I am only going to trade two Pokemon eggs for my main team-Charmander, and Bagon.
    Larvatar,Mareep,Totodile,and Heracross will all be caught normally. Then after the game is completed, I will trade over my LV 100s.
    Oh! and the pichu arceus and jirachi!

    I'll trade between HG and SS to get all of the starters, but I don't think I'll do much trading between HG/SS and D/P/P. Maybe I'll send myself a couple of level 1 Pokemon to train, but at the moment, I'm leaning more towards just playing the new games through without help from D/P/P.

    I'm not gonna trade my Pokémon until later in the game. Maybe not even until I beat the E4.

    Mostly. I have already prepped my Smeargle for HM Slave usage (Whirlpool, Fly, Rock Climb, Cut). No more Whirlpool Mantine yayz!
    I plan on using only Johto and Kanto guys until the sixteenth badge. Then will transfer the butt load.

    One exception includes the sending over of Johto starters. I plan to start with a female Chikorita and send over my DD/IcePunch Toto and my egg moved Cyndaquil.

    Will also send over some Lucky Eggs. They aren't that hard to find.
    Male Cute Charm? Check. The boy has Covet? Check. Ready to thoonk the Chansey? You bet!

    Lucky eggs are easier to get by chaining and stealing them than by catching a chansey and hoping they have them. I got 17 more this morning, alone.

    Why would you want to start any way other than fresh, I'll trade over my EV trained Pokemon for the Battle Frontier when I'm finished with the rest of the game, but I LOVE starting fresh, a brand new adventure with brand new Pokemon, nothing better than that IMO.

    Yup, completely from scratch for me. And no Action Replay, either, surprisingly! I want to play a pure game, like I did for Crystal when I was younger. ;D

    Hahahahahahaha...
    No.

    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

    I totally agree with this. :] I have tons of fantastic teams on my Pearl, so I plan to trade over my best while furthering my teams and trying out new strategies on SS.

    Of course, that's how I tackle every game. Always a fresh start and new Pokemon to grow attached to.

    I'm starting straight fresh!
    I'm going to trade over a few items like a metal coat (YAY SCIZOR!) and a few stones so I can get what I want faster though haha
    I'm using only pokemon obtainable in the game all the way through after I get my main team up to at least the 90s (if not 100) then I will trade other pokemon not obtainable to it

    I thought about trading over Pokemon from Platinum, but I probably won't do that until I've beaten the game completely and start another playthrough. Although, it'll be tough to compose a team in SS since I dunno what I want exactly, but that's the fun of not knowing. I can just compromise and see what I end up with. Although, I do know that I'm running with my starter and a Mareep, which in turn will evolve into Ampharos.
