There are some problems with the Pokemon choosing process. I plan on attempting this on Gold/Silver. Below should be my team, based on your specifications.

1. January 3rd, 1995. 1+3+95=99. #99 is Kingler.
2. Gold/Silver is Gen. 2. 3x2= 6. #6 is Charizard.
3. 1x2^2= 4. #4 is Charmander. *See something here?*
4. Piloswine.
5. Umbreon.
6. Route 1 isn't available in Gold/Silver until the Kanto Region.

My concerns here are: What do I do about the whole 'Charizard/Charmander' deal? It seems kind of unnecessary to have two Charizards in my team. Also, because route 1 isn't available until later in the game, does this mean I have to roll with only five Pokemon until that point, or what do I do?

Once my questions are answered, I would gladly like to make my sign up. This is a very interesting challenge though. [/font]

Ok, the generation you are playing, Gen 2, follows on it's pokedex, not the national pokedex. So, yours would be:

1. January 3rd, 1995. 1+3+95=99, which is Nidorino.
2. Gold/Silver is Gen. 2. 3x2= 6. #6 is Typhlosion.
3. 1x2^2= 4. #4 is Cyndaquil. (you would need to breed to acquire another Cyndaquil)
4. Piloswine.
5. Umbreon.
6. Since the number is 1, I'm sure it's the first route you would encounter on the game, which by looking, would be Route 29.

EDIT: The second Cyndaquil you get, you cannot evolve it, in any way.
 
Also looking to kill some time before X/Y release, so I'll try to get this done while I'm housesitting this weekend! I'll be playing Pokemon Yellow (on the cart).

My team will be:

[PokeCommunity.com] The Date of Birth Challenge
[PokeCommunity.com] The Date of Birth Challenge
[PokeCommunity.com] The Date of Birth Challenge
[PokeCommunity.com] The Date of Birth Challenge
[PokeCommunity.com] The Date of Birth Challenge


The last Pokemon will come from Route 10. I will DEFINITELY be evolving Caterpie. Since Electabuzz isn't in Pokemon Yellow (and since I have my old Gameshark still!) I will immediately hack one in and then box Pikachu. Provided that ancient thing still works, of course.

PROGRESS:
Started up a new save file, got my Pikachu. Decided to turn him into a Surfing Pikachu and use him as my primary HM slave, because he just looks so cute waddling around behind me.

I hacked in an Electabuzz and started training. Ran into my rival a second time & beat him (but on the second try). Made it into Viridian Forest and caught a Caterpie! Now time for some serious grinding before I have to deal with Brock.

This may be a silly question, but if one of your Pokemon is a Typhlosion or another starter sort of Pokemon, does that mean I could keep my Cyndaquil until it evolves into a Typhlosion?

Defeated the first 8 gyms and removed Team Rocket from the radio tower.
Caught a male and a female clefairy from the safari zone and bred them in order to obtain the cleffa which i needed.
Took the cleffa all the way to level 30 to evolve, and luckily mom had sent me a moonstone!

Somehow beat clare with an underleveled team. Machamp and Clefable went into beast mode.

EDIT:
Seems I misread/miscalculated step 3, I did not square the generation.
I just did 6*4 which is 24 ie Caterpie. I will now change it to 6*42=96 so Nidorina
I will now remove butterfree and add the Nidorina which will evolve into a Nidoqueen.

I'm all done with FireRed Omega!

♦ Picked my starter and did the beginning stuff, then caught my first real member, Geypsy the Pidgey.
♦ Grinded him up a bit and also caught my second member, Mary Jane the Shroomish.
♦ When I was training a bit more in Viridian Forest, I encountered a shiny Pidgey! I didn't catch it because Geypsy had already gained quite a lot of levels, and I didn't really feel like it mattered anyway.
♦ Took on Brock, and obviously Mary Jane was the star here, but Geypsy made himself useful with Sand Attack.
♦ Moved on to Mt. Moon, and just outside I caught Valdar the Vulpix and Muffin the Jigglypuff.
♦ Trained them in Mt. Moon as much as I could, and also on the routes around Cerulean City.
♦ Defeated Misty, mostly with Mary Jane.
♦ Down in Vermilion City, I obtained Cpt. Paddy the Squirtle, my fifth team member.
♦ Battled with him on the S.S. Anne, where I also got Cut, and was therefore able to challenge the gym.
♦ Muffin was very useful in the gym with Body Slam, and earned me the victory.
♦ Moved on to the Rock Tunnel, Cerulean Gym, Rocket Hideout, Lavender Tower, Fuchsia Gym and was then able to fish up my final team member, Golddigger the Goldeen.
♦ I had skipped quite a lot of trainers on my way to Fuchsia, so I used Golddigger on those.
♦ Raided the Rocket HQ in Saffron City and then surfed to Cinnabar Island, because Saffron Gym was too difficult for me.
♦ Instead, I beat the gym there and then hopped on Bill's boat, explored the islands and got some EXP to help me against Sabrina.
♦ She was still tough, but I was able to bring her down.
♦ Only Giovanni remained, who also put up a fight, but not as much as Sabrina.
♦ The entire team took him down and then took on my rival, and lastly hiked through Victory Road to stand in front of the Pokémon League.
♦ Used up my Rare Candies, finalized my Pokémons' movesets and began!
♦ Lorelei was easy thanks to quite a lot of weaknesses.
♦ Bruno wasn't difficult either, Geypsy and Cpt. Paddy did most of the work.
♦ A team effort was required for both Agatha and Lance, but it worked out in the end.
♦ Lastly, the Champion was up. He was very tough, but some luck and a bit of planning made it all possible. I was going to have a video, but it got corrupted, so here are some pictures instead:

Ok, this looks fun, so I'll join it on Black 2. I'm only going to put the fully evolved forms of the Pokemon I get in the spoiler if that's ok. (don't need to be giving my birth date to a bunch of Internet strangers lol)

Spoiler:


I'll update when I can. See ya!
 
I have one other question about this challenge. The first pokemon that you catch on given route, can you evolve it, or not? Because I'm not sure whether I can evolve this Electrike into Manectric.
 
Wait, if you are doing a challenge on X or Y, and the Kalos Pokedex is split in three parts, which part would you use?
 
Name: SetheKing
Game: Emerald
Pokemon:
Hoenn Pokemon #112. #112 is Sandshrew. It will be evolved.
Hoenn Pokemon #36. #36 is Slakoth. It will be evolved.
Hoenn Pokemon #36 again. Not sure how to act with this.
Fire Type of my choice: Blaziken.
Yellow Pokemon of my choice: Kadabra.
First Pokemon on Route 104.

So I got the same Pokemon twice. I assume this means I will just have to either use two from the Slakoth line or just go it with 5 Pokemon, correct?
 
Name: GucciMeme
Game: Emerald <3
Pokemon:

Hoenn Pokemon #120 = Cacturne
Hoenn Pokemon #45 = Whismur
Hoenn Pokemon #72 = Aggron(!!!)
Fire Type of Choice: Ninetales, no Blaziken allowed!
Gray Pokemon of Choice: Donphan
First Pokemon on Route 108

Current Progress:

-With Whismur available so early in the game, I used it to defeat Roxanne
-Astonish, Astonish, Astonish and Astonish again.
-Whismur is ~Lv.20 after this fight.
-Sail to Dewford and go to Granite Cave
-Aron! Got em!
-Grind, grind, grind, grind until ny now Loudred and Aron are ready
-Nearly defeat Brawly. Loudred has been the star of my team early on.
-Go through the game till I reach Mauville
-Challenge Wattson. Aron is ~Lv.25 and Loudred Lv. 29
-Wattson's Magneton is a little tough but Loudred finishes it off
-Grinding like crazy until I reach Lavaridge and challenge Flannery
-Flannery was a very smooth fight. I one-hit her first two and two-hit her Torkoal with Stomp
-Go to Rt.111 to find the elusively rare Cacnea. 6% rate in Emerald, fun fact.

At the end of my first update, I have:

Steel (Lairon) Lv. 36
Rage (Exploud) Lv. 40
Arizona (Cacnea) Lv. 20
