How do you generally organize your team? Do you EV train, use only the natives, pimp them out, import, use your favorites, etc. I usually use my favorites of the natives, if that makes sense. Discuss.

If you mean just in-game for the story-line, then I just catch whatever is cool and use them. I always have a bird Pokemon for Fly. After the Elite 4, I just use whoever is my highest levels.
 
I use my favorites that's available on the game itself since I'm too lazy to transfer my other favorites there.
 
Assuming you mean for the storyline of the game, I pick Pokemon which I like, and which are decent in terms of battle.
I like to vary the types too, and I usually avoid raising Pokemon which don't evolve unless they're really good, because evolution makes it more entertaining somehow.
 
I assemble a team of favorites that all work together. For White (as I usually do), I took all of my favorites and picked a Grass-type, a Fire-type, a Water-type, and a Flying-type out of them and made sure I had a good mix of Physical and Special attackers, and not just a bunch of sweepers, but some Pokemon that could be tanks. I added in two more Pokemon with that same method in mind.

Black has been more of the "leftover" team, though I'm still trying to use certain Pokemon with certain others (so as to avoid a team full of Physical attackers, etc.). I decided not to use Tirtouga with my Emboar and Leavanny because I knew I needed Frillish's special attack abilities on my team, for example.

So, largely similar to those above--I use my favorites. I just make sure they make a cohesive team before running a game with them.
 
!!! Forgot to mention that! Yes, I meant the main storyline. However, if you care to share other teams, go right ahead. Sorry.
 
I do the same as the OP, I use my favorites of the natives until I beat the game.
After that I still try to use them, or their IV bred EV trained sons and daughters.
 
I use favourites that can be found via in-game means. I like to EV train post-game, however, and use those on my team.
 
What i do is i always have a
Fire type
Grass
Water
Flying
And to other types prefebaly psychic and electric and i get my fav poke from each of those types
 
Before Gen. 5, one thing I always did was always make sure I have some Pokemon that knew the main HMs that you would need, plus Flash.

Along with that, I try to use some that are my favorites/evolve into some favorites. Right now, this only really applies to Platinum/LeafGreen.

The reason for that is that when I started SoulSilver, I really didn't have any top favorite Pokemon at the time. I just picked what I thought would help me the given situation at the time.

Same thing sort of for White. I'm not too familiar with all the Pokemon that i have definite top favorites yet (Okay, that's not entirely true, Tepig and Timburr are pretty cute).

I voted before I saw this! I use EVs after the plot, but in-game, I use Natives and Favorites.
 
I do everything with Pokemon. I look at the 649 different creatures and think, "what fun things can I do with them?" I pick my favorites, but I also try to use the new ones as well. I EV train, but I don't do that exclusively.
 
I make a team that all works together, consisting of Pokemon I love (I don't just pick stuff for its stats), then I get ones with high IV's and EV train hem.
 
It seems that by far the native/favorite is preferred. Sometimes, I use the ones with types advantages over Gym Leaders, or I just teach my old [Pokemon] new moves. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks?
 
My Favorites..

Which means pretty much every Poison Type in the game.
 
My favorites, I've learned its better to win/ lose with a team you've worked extremely hard in training and love.
