    I was wondering if any of you had suggestions for my Platinum team. I will be starting with Turtwig, and will be going from there.

    What I Want
    Original Pokemon choices - I want to use an "Interesting and Fun team", Because of this, I was thinking of Bibarell as one of my team members.

    What I Don't Want
    Overused/Meta Pokemon choices - I dont want too many Pokemon that are used by many on their teams. I will acceppt 1 or 2 Pokemon, but I dont want a team that consists of Starter/Milotic/Garchomp/Lucario/Crobat/Other powerful ROFLstomping Pokemon. I want my team to be unique.
     
    I'd say snag some of those baby pokemon from the Trophy Garden like Bonsly or Mime Jr. Sudowoodo would be fun. Plus he's pure Rock type not Rock/Ground like most so he wouldn't overlap with Torterra. Also, I've never seen anyone actually use Sudowoodo haha
     
    How about Gallade, Rhyperior, Rampardos, Gastrodon, Ambipom, Mismagius, Honchkrow, Spiritomb, Lucario, Drapion, Toxicroak, Abomasnow, Weavile, Garchomp, Dusknoir, Porygon-Z and others? There are many great choices.
     
    Ambipom is actually surprisingly good to use if you like "underused" stuff, but make sure you get one with Technician (which evolves from Run Away Aipom).

    I was also kinda impressed with Pachirisu if you want an Electric-type, since it's bulkier than most electric rodents and it has gotten some feats of its own, such as being part of a VGC-winning team and also as the star of Marriland's team in his Platinum Nuzlocke.
     
    I suggest getting Bibarel. I have one in my Black Randomizer Nuzlocke and he's simply amazing. He rocks a very simple set of Rollout, Surf, Yawn and Dig.
     
    You might wanna try the Lumineon line.
    For Fire-types, there's Houndoom a reliable companion who's also able to help you to ward off the Psychic and Ghosts. (:
