Generally I have always been offense with very few supporting moves. Although that is starting to change now. In Black, I did a run through with Ferroseed and using a leech seed set in combination with rocky helmet and the aid of Ferroseed's ability. Almost nothing could kill this thing. I once was battling a Trubbish that was stupid enough to us doubleslap and the dumb thing killed itself without me having to do a thing. But I still lean on the side of offense, but trying out new sets is pretty cool too.

I'd say if your up against a pretty tough trainer, offense mode might not be a good idea cuz you'd also be putting your pokemon at risk of fainting. Though, if you're super sure you'll go first then both offense and attack isn't such a bad idea, but all attacks is mostly how I tend to role cuz I'm always up against strong pokemons.

I use a lot of purely offensive Pokémon, but some have other moves, and a few use mostly support moves.

Mostly offense, but I use some sleep condition moves and some poison condition moves.

Actually that's how I roll too (normal storyline play anyways). But I still keep the all-offense tactic
NPC trainers (in the storyline) are so easy to beat that way, with being able to have different levels and all...If we talk about competitive play though, that's another story for strategy

I purposefully form my teams to where I can land a SE hit on any pokemon to KO them. I go all out offense and hardly ever use a move that doesn't do damage. In fact my Black team I am working on will have a move of every type and none of the pokemon share a SE hit against them besides my 2 dragonswho can both take out Ice types lol.
For in-game, it depends on the Pokémon. For my B/W walkthrough I made Serperior a staller with Giga Drain, Energy Ball, Toxic, and Leech Seed due to it's lack of attack. As for Simipour, I made it an offensive Pokémon with Brick Break, Surf, Shadowball, and Ice Beam.
All to say, it really depends on the Pokémon I pickup for my team.

Offense, offense, offense. Nothing really is a threat other than Ghetsis.
It all depends on what Pokemon I have available, and what trainer I am fighting.
I usually go all out offense, though on some Pokemon I usually have at least one Pokemon with a status inducing move. If the trainer has many Pokemon, I may set up some Spikes, Toxic Spikes, or Stealth Rock if my Pokemon knows it (specifically Skarmory).

Yep, 'knock them down before they can do any real damage' is my strategy. Well, that's my strategy for all games.
