My recommendation is to start off using some standard teams that work from either here, or Nugget Bridge. Just look at all the resource available here and other sites so you can understand the format, common Pokemon/strategies you'll see, team cores, etc. Honestly no one should talk down to if for using standard teams which some of them have won some regionals around the world so far.
VGC is a very complicated format to get into and I was in the same position before so don't get discouraged. Try focusing on teams that have better synergy typing wise instead of comming to an entire strategy. Doubles team typical have "modes" or pairs of three distinctive strategies (best examples of these are Politoed/Ludicolo, Whimsicott/Terrakion, Mega Charizard Y/Venusaur).
