I like doing all possible things before reashing the nest story point, like catching all the currently available pokemon and getting all the hidden items, even if the pokemon is 1% at the current route and 50% in the next I will hunt it at the current

For the past three generations, instead of having a team of 6 in my first playthrough, I catch almost every new pokemon I find I typically end up with a rotation of around 7-10 pokemon I'll use during the playthrough. It's the only way I don't end up over leveling the shit out of my mons thanks to the broken exp shares

I play each gen the same way I have since Blue Version - progress through the story, beat the league, complete the Pokedex, then put the game down and play other games until the next gen comes out.

I always try to run a team made of region-native mons. I also put some focus on the typing synergy on my team, and how their roles synergizes too (ie. not running a team full of special attackers with no means to take hits). Not using a mon that I've already used on another game is also a priority.

Sometimes I inject pokemon I tailored on pkhex because getting one with its HA right at the start of the game is quite a hassle. I also use pkhex to bring pokemon I caught on another region and always wanted to use but couldn't because I already had a full team, or they simply stopped being useful at some point. So they get a second chance on another game.

The only games I have not played are Blue, Yellow, Diamond, White 2 and Ultra Moon. I hope to be able to afford a Switch not long after finishing all of those.

+No nicknames unless I really dislike the Pokemon's actual name or it doesn't have an official one (A. Sandslash, for example)
+New Pokemon only.
+No type over lap.
+Team has to be around the same level.
+Regional forms and cross evos do not count as new Pokemon since they are related to old ones.
+Try to have a bit of Balance in the team. (Ie, 3 specialmattckers/3 physical attackers, or 2 of each, then 2 mixed attackers or a mixed and a bulky tank, etc...)

-all pokemon must be from that region or generation (ex: I could use Togekiss in both DPPt and HGSS because its a gen 4 mon and its was a Johto mon), but no regional forms other than alolan forms in LGPE
-all nicknamed
-no overlapping types

>Each new team member added needs to be semi reasonably spread out, no catching 2 more team members at the same time and no waiting way too long between catching certain team members. I generally aim to catch 1 new team member before each gym (2 pokemon for gym 1, 3 for gym 2 etc)

>Battle every trainer and grab every item that I can on my first time through, always back track and grab everything else as soon as I can
>Literally obsessed with having good gameplay flow, so I'll plan out mentally what I do before playing each time so that everything I do naturally flows into the next as if I were actually the character doing these things. Sometime will literally turn off the game and redo my last hour of gameplay if my flow is fucked up

I go in blind on the first 3 runs of every new gen, using only new pokemon, doing this once for each starter. I don't replace my team members, even if I know a replacement would be better.

For subsequent playthroughs, I try to make sure I have a type balance, but I never use mons that aren't native to the game I'm playing, regardless of how many times I've played.

I may occasionally do shitmon runs, mainly because I enjoyed using Kricketune so much in DPPt and I want to recreate that sometimes.

Battle Style: Set always, but I feel like that's a given. No exp share or midbattle items. No potions, repels, revives, or other ambiguous 'medicinal' items: berries, food, and herbs only. No allowing my pokemon to faint. I usually try to use pokemon native to the game I'm playing even if it's a full pokedex hack, but I make an exception for shinies or I would if I could find one ;_;

And most importantly, name all the pokemon I use after P-Model songs. Songs from member's solo careers are also acceptable :D

I would do that, but I've learned through experience that it becomes a pain to find enough songs to cover every pokemon in any generation past 3. Hirasawa has been active since 1973, so there's plenty of material, but so much of is either too long to fit as a nickname or uses characters Pokemon doesn't recognize. As much as I'd like to use such classics as Pacific Rim Imitation Network or Great Deceiver of Saint Horseshoe Planet, they're both just a few letters to long ;_;

Out of habit I like to organize my pokemon's moveset from top to bottom by status>low-power moves>higher-power moves
Aside from that I sometimes prioritize pokemon I like over how well it'd synergize with the team, in SWSH I had a Falinks on my team knowing full-well that thing was pretty underpowered

Whenever I catch a Pokemon that I want to use, I save edit them so that their IVs are all 15, their Nature is neutral, and their EVs are 88/84/84/84/84/84. I keep all of my Pokemon completely average for my casual playthroughs, so RNG or casual disregard for EVs aren't helping or hurting my Pokemon.
I'll also save edit Pokemon so they have moves or Abilities I feel like they should have (such as giving Aurorus Power Gem or giving Gourgeist Flash Fire).

-No type overlap on team. Half physical, half special or 2 to 4 at worst.
-No grinding, stay as close as possible to the main story's level
-Self-imposed rules for rival battles, gym leaders, etc: Use same number of Pokemon, no held items, no free switches, only allowed to use a potion if they do, and must be of the same kind. Basically just playing by the same rules as the opponent, rather than retaining an unfair advantage.

Makes the games a lot more fun for me. Sun and Sword both had battles I had to reset and reconsider my strategy, especially Sword.
