hard to categorize these since I can only vaguely remember my first time playing all these; best I can do is scraps of what remain. Hoenn's team is shit btw, no way someone used Manectric over fucking Mightyena if you wanna go the NPC route.
BW1 being too varied is also a huge lol, ez:
>Serperior
>Stoutland
>Darmanitan
>Krookodile
>Lilligant
>Archeops
>(Scolipede, Chandelure, and Cofagrigus are also sometimes here. Not as often, though. Unfezant may also appear if you're a braindead tard and/or playing for the first time.)
take it from someone who's wasted way too many hours reading BW nuzlockes and equally-as many watching LPs of it, the top four are basically guaranteed on 80% of teams. The latter two slots are sort of interchangeable, but at least half of a Unovan team is usually set in stone before it's even begun being made.
anyways enough autism about gen 5 specifically
I would've never played gen 9 had Scarlet not leaked, and I ended up using 3 separate teams when it did anyways. I'm drawing from my first since that was restricted solely to new pokemon, whereas I ditched every single one in the following teams because Gen 9's dex has somehow managed to make Gen 8's look great. Fuck this series' future man
