Alpha Sapphire (I would do omega ruby due to starting with Ruby back when I was 8, but Team Aqua just looks so much better to me)
Treecko (to mimic Emerald playthrough)
Mega-Sceptile, Shiny Blaziken (I have a shit IV/Blaze shiny torchic without egg moves), Swampert, Mightyena (either wild or shiny with perfect IVs and egg moves (or not shiny, since I'm 30 boxes in), I'm really not sure if I want an Easy Mode Pokemon that I'll transfer over or if I want to catch one), Swellow, and either Wailord or Linoone for HM shenanigans (Linoone for Cut/Surf/Strength/Rock Smash and pickup, Wailord for Emerald accuracy and dive/surf/strength)
>(Emerald was Sceptile, Light Orb Pikachu, Mightyena, Swellow, Chimecho, Wailord... but screw Wailord, Pikachu (though I caught 30 in a row in the safari zone, I have no idea if it was a glitch or not), and Chimecho).
No legendary Pokemon, all Pokemon caught in this game (Swellow, Linoone or Wailord) must be in Pokeballs, no Amie or Super Training for first run-through. That's all, I don't typically get too intense when I play in my first run. Also, blind. No spoiling plot changes/looking up the new Pokemon distributions.
