Platinum let's play: what's an interesting team?

[TBgamer4life]

Ok, so I am doing a pokémon Platinum let's play on YouTube, I am not able to trade so getting alakazam/machamp/gengar, etc is impossible. I am only able to catch in-game pokémon. I am trying to come up with a good balanced yet interesting team to watch me play. I currently have Turtwig, Bidoof, Zubat and Machop (to trade for abra when he is lvl 15). I was thinking of this type of team:
Torterra (Grass/Ground) -> weakness Fly,Fire,Bug and Ice

Crobat (Poison/Flying) -> weakness Electric,Psych, Ice and Rock

Bibarel (Normal/Water) -> weakness Fighting,Grass and Electric

Kadabra (Psychic) -> weakness Ghost, Bug and Dark
OR
Haunter (Poison/Ghost) -> weakness Ghost, Psych, Dark

Magmar (Fire) -> weakness Water, Ground, Rock
OR
Flareon (Fire) -> weakness Water, Ground, Rock
OR
Houndoom (Dark/Fire) -> weakness Water,Fight, Rock and Ground

The sixth slot is still empty, maybe a gyarados (preferably a pokemon that you can catch quite early in the game, I'm at the Valley Windworks). Could you help me decide which fire pokemon and which Sp. attacker (kadabra vs haunter) I should pick?

Hey, this isn't quite the spot you want for this. I would recommend making a thread for your Let's Play in the Let's Play section, and asking that way (be sure to read the rules first!). Or, if you don't want to do that, I think it would be fine if you posted it in the Let's Play Brainstorming/Discussion thread and get some advice. Either way it doesn't belong here, so gonna lock this up now. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! :3
