My favorite...hard to say. Though there's one that is more special than the rest to me:

-Pokemon D/P/Pl. My first Pokemon game was Diamond, started with Piplup, which...grew up to an annoyingly strong Empoleon somehow (it 1-hit-KOed Dialga, was 4 levels lower than it by then, and used Surf, no critical. I just wanted to catch it :c).

The pokemons had a good enough variety for my tastes, and had a great amount of legendaries to catch. The only sad part was that it was way too easy, I almost beated Cynthia using only Empoleon lv53 (He eventually lost due to a lucky Earthquake).

Despite that, it still has fond memories of it. I got my Big Poke 6 team and had a great time with them, though a pretty easy time at that. Though funnily enough, they weren't particularly OP:

1-Empoleon/Praetor. The nuker, half-tank, leader, the one that can't use Surf without taking 50% of your health at least. Which was why I had to use it carefully in double battles, as a single Surf was enough to KO everyone else on my team.

2-Staraptor/Razorwing. Another nuker, but more physical and has better iniciative. Also my anti-evasion-spammers member of the team, along with 6.

3-Luxray/Leo-Lux. This one was more balanced, didn't use him much but when I did he didn't do particularly bad. He held his ground often, and dealt quite the damage. And I also had a small combo in Doubles, starting with him and Razorwing for Double Intimidate. Leo-Lux was more or less a Jack-of-all-Trades in anything but Type Coverage.

4-Camerupt/TaurusFire. Similar to Empoleon in role, but with different type. He was usefull in single battles, with powerful moves and offensive stats. In Doubles, it was harder because 3/4 attacks targeted everyone. However, it was less painful with Razorwing or Praetor alongside him.

5-Lucario/Jackal. The single-target nuker of the team. Had Aura Sphere, Psychich and Shadow Ball along with Extreme Speed. He was good all-around, but his main use was to take down key targets on the enemy pokemon quickly. He didn't usually last too long compared to the rest, but he was supposed to own before getting owned.

6-Weavile/Name is changed constantly. The same role as Jackal, but has some moves that can hit the 2 oponents, and is a lot faster, and has the highest Physical ATK of the team. She was like a bullet, go in, 1-hit-KO the target, switch to someone else next turn. She also resisted more than I expected.

I also went back last year and chose to train a 2nd team. It consists of a Porygon Z (Nuker), a Gallade (Set-up Killer), a Pupitar (on it's way to be a tank), a Vespiqueen (Semi-Tank), and haven't decided yet the last 2, but been thinking of a Magnezone and a Kingdra.
