What starter did you choose?

[Tonguetyd]

Chose Turtwig in Diamond.Torterra looks so bad***.

Then i chose Piplup in platinum.I hate Piplup's appearance,but Empoleon looks awesome in my humble opinion.

[Calamity™]

I always picked Piplup, and I'm glad I did because Empoleon is one of my favourites from Sinnoh. Chimchar is alright, but I'd most likely never pick Turtwig.

[Ignika]

In both Diamond and Pearl I chose Chimchar because there were really no Fire-types at ALL.

But in Platinum I went with my favourite, Empoleon.

[bobyjoe5000]

first time ever, Piplup, 2nd last profile, Chimchar, current profile, Piplup

[greatguy]

I chose Turtwig because Torterra has a Ground Type, making it not weak to it's rival. I kept OHKOing my rival's Infernape with Earthquake.

[Shade2000]

first of all i had turtwig, didnt choose it tho
then i had piplup twice
and now i have chimchar
and thats all on one game

[Poke's4Ever]

I've always liked Turtwig over the others, especially Chimchar.

[Hikari Paradise]

Went with piplup because I played as Dawn and wanted it to be like the anime. Plus I usually choose my least favorite to get me through the game so I can EV train the good ones later on.

[Cuore]

I picked Chimchar on my first playthrough because there weren't many Fire-types, but the E4 was HARD. I almost wish I hadn't evolved it because of the weakness to Psychic-types...

I tried the other starters but never did much with them. D/P/Pt was the first and only game that I didn't use my starter in my team, so I branched out a little and tried using some different 'mons. Maybe the next time I play Diamond i'll give Turtwig a chance.

[ZelkeDark]

I used to choose Turtwig but recently I have fell in love with Chimchar. He is just too awesome.

[32er]

Pearl: Piplup
Platinum: Chimchar

[amittal12]

Turtwig because i pick the most underrated ones.

[Atlidevil]

Turtwig cause I liked that it would gain the Ground dual type later and thus Earthquake to deal with the Rival's Infernape since I like putting the starter vs starter every time I face the Rival.

[SasakiThePikachu]

I chose Piplup simply because it was the cutest. Cute was very important to me back then.

I chose Chimchar on Pearl, and finally Turtwig on Platinum. Ironically, I think Turtwig ended up being my favourite. It doesn't have the greatest design, but its a solid, sturdy line of pokemon.

[SuperEpicRock]

I chose Chimchar. I generally always choose the fire starter (except gen 3 cuz I never really liked Blaziken) since generally fire pokes are harder to find or you can't get them until later on in your journey.

[snivy trainer]

In D/P Fire types were rare! Infernape or Rapidash... no thoughts there. I take my gameplays in turns, so I use all the starters equally. Currently I've been using Infernape.

[Elysian]

For me, Empoleon is the only choice

[Mangoes]

Piplup is the best! It's certainly the cutest.

[diamondpearl876]

I only choose Chimchar or Piplup. Not a fan of Turtwig or its evolutions at all.

[Lucina Archaelis]

I chose Turtwig when I first played Diamond. It's so cute :3

[HoennDreamer]

Chimchar for Plat

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

I chose chimchar, my first ever pokemon now a lv100 infernape.

Same here, exept with piplup.

[BurningSociety12345543210]

Turtwig. Chimchar is ok, and Piplup? *shivers*

[ThousandDragon]

Chimchar... so Dawn had Piplup like she has in the anime.
AND because Monferno is BEAST!

[~Darkfire~]

I chose Chimchar. He was the coolest looking, to me, and he was a fire type, which is the type I usually start with. (Excluding the fifth gen)
