No worries.

But FYI to anyone, with a spare Diancie I also have a handful of 6 IV Pokemon with the right IVs/egg moves which I can trade. Also several shiny Pokemon which might (definitely) or might not be hacked. And a legit shiny Pelliper. :v:

If I started with Gen VI, was it okay for me to use mons from previous Gens? At that point Dugtrio or Azumarill, say, were as new to me as, say, Talonflame or Pangoro.

You can use whatever you want! In your case, 'mons from previous gens are new to you. Just don't be one of those people who has to always play the game with a Magnemite or Machop or whatever or else the game is unplayable.

Speaking of Diancie, I wonder if they're even going to bother with that specific stone in this gen. They seem to have that 'not everyone gets those pokemon, so it's unfair!' mentality with banning them from official competitions. But I have one Diance set up for using the stone and one for not. So then one of mine would just be kinda useless with no access to it.

I only use old Pokemon if they have something new and interesting (Azumarill and Blaziken in Y due to the Fairy-type and Mega Evolution respectively, Alola Forms in Sun) or if I'm doing a gimmick run (mono-Grass in OR, Nuzlockes in general). Otherwise I prefer to stick with new stuff, who knows, I could find a new favourite! Like Wishiwashi, Wishiwashi is super cool and good.

[in a solemn voice] Pokémon are just data files, they don't really exist and thus can't really be good boys

this, my rule is half my team is old pokemon and half my team is new ones

the only problem is i can't decide between kommo-o and mimikyu but i'll probably go with the former because i already have two fairy types on my team

I think the answer to old Mons in new games is to just ask the player at the beginning something like:

-> I'm here for a new adventure! (Only new Pokemon will appear)
-> I'm here for a familiar journey! (A mixture of new and old will appear)

and then seed the grass based on their answer.

that only works if there are enough new pokemon for that to be worth doing. there often aren't

tho really this is an answer to a problem that doesn't exist, so

my Sun team was Toucannon, Salazzle, Mudsdale, Bewear, Decidueye, and Alola Raichu. See? All new pokemon. Would Alola Raichu be on there if it wasn't New? I don't think so
