What starter did you choose?

[AquaWarrior]

I chose chimchar. I don't know why but I mostly choose the Fire Type

[Navarch]

Turtwig. I like Grass Types, plus Torterra's design is very nice.

[32er]

I've chosen all 3 of them on different playthroughs. :]

[Zappo09]

Turtwig. I like Grass Types, plus Torterra's design is very nice.

Oh yeah we both like Turtwig!

First time i couldn't decide between Piplup and chimchar but eventually decided on piplup which after the Oreburgh gym forgot about and left in a box on bebes PC deciding to train up a Budew instead. Then when I played platinum i chose Turtwig which i think is the most powerful starter by a long way.

I picked Piplup. It was adorable. Generally, I tend to like the grass-type starters, but I wasn't fond of Turtwig's design (or its evolutions), so, didn't go with it. Generally, I don't like the fire-type starters. Or fire-type Pokémon in general. So I rarely choose them.

I'm pleased to see how even the poll results are. I wasn't expecting that. YAY VARIETY.

I picked Piplup in both Diamond and Platinum. Not for reasons like typing, or moves, or stuff like that.

I picked Piplup because penguins are my favorite animal. Gotta love penguins <3

Also, I didn't really like the other two...

[Princess Raspberyl]

Piplup. I usually use the Fire type, but Piplup was just too cute to resist... the rival battle after Jubilife was a pain with Piplup though =_=.

[Earthia100]

Chimchar. Chimchar is one of my favorite Pokemon, and Chimchar looks so tough!

[Ciccone]

My first Sinnoh Starter Pokemon was Turtwig. I purchased a Japanese Diamond version back in 2006, and I thought Turtwig was the best choice out of the three Pokemon. It was pretty reliable in battle, although there were times when I wished I had chosen Piplup instead.

The first time? I picked Chimchar. I remember quite clearly, sitting in the car with my mother, grandmother, and older sister, as I asked them which one to pick. We chuckled at the fact that Chimchar looked like his butt was on fire, so we dubbed him the "Fire-Butt Monkey" (cruel joke, I know xD).

But later on, Turtwig became my favourite. It's the only one I pick now when I restart my game~

[Cressy]

I picked Chimchar. I love that pokemon.

[brendan25]

Empoleon cuz it can fly and i like starter water pokemon!

[zean44]

on diamond,i chose chimchar.but i realized that in all pokemon games i played,i always use fire.so on pearl,i chose piplup.

[Beastpoke87]

im going with empoleon even though it has 2 added weakness by being part steel it can counter those with drill peck for fighting and water move for ground

[Lethe]

I chose Chimchar because I love it and Monferno. Not that crazy about Infernape though.

[kaisap112]

Piplup. For the first time I didn't choose the Grass-Pokémon, but that's because I don't like Turtwig's design at all.

[Klinklang_1024]

I chose Turtwig, and it's only a Grotle so far, but it is still a beast!

[Cornelius]

Turtwig. It's a turtle, and turtles are awesome. Therefore, I chose him over any other starter.

[Feltanno]

turtwig i always pick the grass starter because thats my fav type
