First five gens, I level the shit out of my starter and use the other 5 slots for HM slaves.

Gens 6 and 7, I just use whatever I like while trying to make sure that no more than two Pokemon on my team are weak to a given type.

I always have a Fire,Grass,and Water type. The starter fills one of those slots. Then an electric type either an early route one or one a little bit later. then a fighting or flying type. and last a ghost or psychic type. no matter what though the Grass Water and Fire core is always there.

Either a challenge run, usually monotype or themed, or Pokémon I've never used before that are region exclusive.
I wanna do a 3xWormadam + Mothim run though, I think that'd be fun.

Has anyone ever had legitimately 2 or more of the same Pokémon on there team? The only time I saw this was a 6 Furret team with different hidden powers.

6 favorites. 5 favorites and maybe an HM slave or two, but I usually spread out HM moves throughout my team so I don't end up with a mon I'm not fond of.
If I want to make the game harder, I use a few NFEs I like, and in extreme cases, a whole team of first stages.

The team always has to have a Fighting type and a Ground type, since Normal and Electric only have that one weakness. Dark too in a sense because I don't like matchups where the type is strong against itself (Ghost vs. Ghost, making the only other weakness Dark).

As long as I cover each weakness at least once, don't repeat types and have 3 physical attackers and 3 special attackers, I'm good. The rest is up to personal taste.

With the new exp share I tried to do something a little different in the last games. Basicly i try to beat every gym using a different team composed by pokemon you can find near the gym's area; then I use the best ones in the league. It's pretty funny, you should try.

I like playing like this, you start with 1 Pokémon and if you train it past level 15 it can't fight the first gym and you've got to retire it and use a different one. Then when you beat the first gym you have to use the first two Pokémon you catch to beat the next gym and get 5 levels added to 15. Then keep going adding one Pokémon per badge and 5 levels until you beat the last gym, then you pick any of the 21 Pokémon that beat a gym leader to make your E4 team

Look at that glare. Bitch knows sand-attack AND leer, apparently. This is a bird you don't want to fuck with. Did you know it learns quick attack? An ability so broken, it allows you to move first regardless of move or stat priority. Don't even get me started on gust. This peculiar pussy-wetting pigeon will rip your bulbasaur to little bulba-shit pieces. It also only has one type, no x4 super effective against this bread-and-butter-bird. All while being able to be accessed in route -ONE-. That is, after he nearly kills you and Oak has to step in and save the day.
Give your props to this bird. There's a reason Gary has a Pidgeot. He's one lean, mean, weedle-eating machine. Better bring x5 Pokeballs.

First playthrough must have only new pokemon introduced in the gen.

Keep it around 4-5 pokemon so it's easier to level everyone evenly w/out taking too much time.

Add sixth member after getting all hms and deciding what I want and where to find it.

One pokemon has to be difficult to obtain (trade evolution, trade exclusive from other game, low encounter rate, one time event, etc.)

One stone evolution pokemon.

Try to avoid using pseudo legendary/legendaries of that gen.

Try to keep even ratio of male, females and nothings. If the one I caught has a good nature, then I disregard the gender.

Diverse typing

My favourite monotype to run is a Normal type one with Pokémon new to the region only.
A fighting type monotype could be cool in BW2. I think.
BW2 could be cool for a themed run too, I did a ruin maniac desert Pokémon only run in Black, with Darumaka, Sigilyph, Maractus, Dwebble, Sandile and Yamask.
My next endeavour will be a base form pseudo run in SM and a Normal monotype Omega Ruby run.

I just use pokes I like. I often go out of my way to get them, despite having much better alternatives. But looks matter to me more than anything else. I often assemble a team of 6 by the time I'm at the 3rd Gym, and after I have my 6 I never swap them. I push through the game with only those few pokes.

I used to use something like "FWG core, Flying-type for Fly, two other mons I like, no type overlap, only new mons/forms in a new gen" but I had to abandon the FWG in Diamond (Because I hate Chimchar's line bar Monferno and Ponyta is from Genwun,) and since then it's been much looser. I still LIKE to use an FWG core, but I've abandoned the necessary Flying-type (especially with Poké Ride) and now I just kind of pick anything that doesn't have type overlap (for most of the time.) I still try to use only new mons/forms for the new gen though, though in XY I was a little strapped for designs I liked that weren't postgame. I think I ran Greninja/Venusaur/Garchomp/Avalugg/Florges/Heliolisk. The most recent game that I followed the rules was a replay of B2, I think. Don't remember the team exactly, though. In my Sun playthrough I threw it out entirely though, as my team is currently Dartrix/Grimer/Yungoos/Mudbray, and I'm planning on using Solgaleo, so I won't have enough room for the FWG core even. I was initally planning on getting Mareanie, but I had messed around with some SOS mons already to send some stuff to my gf, so I'm tired of dealing with that. I might pick up a Minior or maybe a Crabrawler down the line, though. Not really sure what specifically I want as #6.

until Fairy, I had a reliable system of making sure I could type-trump any opposing pokemon:
>ground
>ice
>fighting
>flying
>dark or ghost
>electric or grass

I plan my team out beforehand, using only new pokemon if it's a new gen (remakes I roll with whatever), and as long as I have those types on my team then I'm set. For example, Torterra covers Ground AND Grass, so that frees up a slot for somebody I just think is cool.

Fairy fucked it up, because now I have to make room for a Steel or Poison type, and I hate those 99% of the time.

just randomly.

Grass type (+ poison move like Toxic)
Normal type (HM Slave for most of it like Linoone who literally learns everything)
Psychic Type (special attack powerhouse)
Water type (+ 1 ice attack for all the dragonfags)
Fire type (maybe or Dark Type or Flying Type instead)
Electric Type (for paralysis and being a bird-killer + one other random normal/fighting/steel type move)

I don't enjoy training ghosts, bugs, ice or ground or rock types much so I never really have them. pure poison types aren't that interesting to me nowadays.

usual faves:

>Victreebel/Cuckturne
>Linoone/Lickitung
>Espeon/Alakazam
>Empoleon/Swampert
>Flareon/Magcargo
>Ampharos/Luxray

Staraptor, Seviper, Banette, Skarmory, Hariyama, Mightyena for switching out.

whatever looks cool or cute that I find on my journey, or whatever I need to defeat a specific pokemon

I never capture over 12 pokemon and I make sure they're regularly cycled out to gain EXP and so I don't feel like a dick

although their was that one time where I got so buttfrustrated by being stopped every three steps by a zubat in some god forsaken cave
after exhausting my repel supply that I captured a male zubat, named him faggot and threw him up against all the other zubat in the cave, never used him to do anything other than fight enemy zubat in caves and abandoned him in a box on his own until I planned on travelling through another cave

its been three generations since I captured that zubat, he hit level 100 before any other pokemon In my party and I've traded him along into every game

his suffering continues to this day
