I'm going to SR a number of times until I get a shiny starter. Either turtwig or chimchar. I still have a couple weeks to decide. Here's to hoping Ill get before the 2000th try. I think that'll be my limit.
 
I'm going to SR until I get an Azelf with a good nature and good IVs.

Well I'm gonna start with Turtwig and trade over a Chimchar and Aipom egg.
Then get Togepi, Yanma and Eevee.

I'll finish the Dex (Caught) as I play through. (Gotta SR for Female Eevee and Pory) Will trade over some more Toge and Riolu along with 2 stunky, 2 glameow, 2 murkrow, 2 misdreavus and 3 piplup.
I will beat the frontier unlike emerald.
I'll overtrain like I am in Ruby and LG and not have 55s for the E$ I'll have 57-60s

My team will be
Infernape (Phys)
Espeon (Spec)
Yamega (Spec)
Torterra (Phys)
Togekiss (Spec)
Ambipom (Phys)
Yay for balance!
But I have to wait til May :(

I will take my slow sweet time capture all the pokemon I can. And beat the battle frontier unlike emerald since I was too lazy and refrain from uaing legendaries only for desperate measures.
My team will be
Infernape
Magnezone
Espeon
Dusknoir
Staraptor
Milotic or Floatzel
 
Well in previous games I used chimchar as the starter but this time i am gonna choose piplup. I dont like it but still I wanna test a empoleon.

1) First off will be my starter. In Pearl, I chose Piplup. When I get Platinum, I'll get Turtwig. It reminds me of Squirtle...

2) I will catch different Pokemon. Besides Turtwig, I think I'll try to catch a Starly, an Elekid, a Magby, a Buizel, and a Riolu. I'll also try to make them focus on their strengths.

3) I'll also try to breed more in Platinum. I mostly do my breeding in Emerald.

4) I'll try to trade between both Pearl and Platinum.

I'm going to start with Chimchar as my starter this time around.
My rival's new name will be Harrison.
I want to get shiny Dialga/Palkia/Giratina... but I'm willing to sacrifice the time needed.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

I'll play the game with a good nature Chimcar. Ev train as I go along and SR for good legends. I'll also try to creat a team of dynamic coolness as well. =p.

IN my diamond I went through the game with Empoleon, Snorlax, Lucario, Alakazam, Staraptor and Luxray. I won't use any of them this time around. =/ Except Lucario. Swap with a good nature one from my game.

I guess my first playthrough will be for the general gist of enjoying the new game. The next will be to do it all. Who knows.

1) First time I played Diamond I used Turtwig, second time I used Piplup, so this time I think I'll be going with Chimchar.

2)I'll try to have a whole different team. Well, for completing the game that is, after beating the Elite Four, I'll trade all my Diamond pokemons over.
