Like the title says, of course besides canon characters using canon Pokemon, 'cause that's a different story.
In my current story, I gave one of the main characters a Spearow as his "starter". Spearow was the first Pokemon I ever caught by myself, my cousins always caught them for me until that point. (Sadly the next day I accidently released it because I thought 'Release' was the same thing as 'Deposit' >_< RIP Spearow)
Usually I pick Pokemon that I liked using/fighting against during the course of the games. But soon I found that the ones I used were limited as far as variety, which is why I take Scramble Challenges every so often. This way I get exposed to other Pokemon that I hadn't even considered before.
So how do you decide?
