Never evolved my pokemon until after I beat the Elite 4 in the earlier games.
In the later games I used old pokemon I liked based on looks...and the game was pineappleing horrible lol. My Pearl team was:
Omastar
PARASECT
Ariados
Wigglytuff
Dodrio
yeeep. Omastar was the only one who could hold its own in a fight. Parasect saw many deaths in wild battles. Ariados was okay in the beginning due to Night Shade. Wigglytuff never died too often but was so weak. Dodrio...my god was it disappointingly fragile.
