4th Gen Best Starter Pokemon

[Koh]

I chose Chimchar over all, because it has awesome evolutions, Turtwig seemed, and turned out to be very slow, and I just didn't want Piplup xD.

 

[Necrø]

In my eyes the Chimchar line total quality ;D

 

[YungKnowledge]

Chimchar I love fire pokemon!!!!!!!
Platinunum is in my dsi right now.

i just got this game ill try with chimchar than (playing pearl) thanks for the thread to use

 

[Agent Clank]

Piplup for sure.
I used him my first playthrough and He did great against everything.

 

[Project.]

On my first playthrough, Empoleon really kicked some.

It's unique typing helps it for a decent stab move in-game.

But, Torterra is pretty beastly with a Big Root and Leech Seed.

Personally, I think the generation 4 starters are the worst of all the starter Pokemon... Dx But if I were to choose, I say Chimchar. I actually used to pick Piplup all the time, but once Platinum came out and I chose Chimchar, I started to like it a bit. :3

 

[Mokonist]

I don't really like any so much, but Chimchar.

If voting was still open, I'd vote Chimchar all the way. He's actually my personal favorite starter of all of them. I guess I've just got a soft spot for monkeys.

I agree with all of this! I like Chimchar because hes soo cute and he is a fire type. Fire types are my favourite types.

 

[Kid Icarus]

I think Piplup, Prinplup, Empoleon are the best.

 

[Edd84]

Empoleon, the resistances, the effectiveness against many other types, plus I love the design.

 

[AntiZero]

Chimchar's Fire/Fighting type combo is really helpful later in the game. Plus, Chimchar is a monkey. Who doesn't like monkeys? :D

 

[piicreator]

torterra is pretty beast ide say, and he gets very strong moves

My first time playing Pearl I chose Chimchar. But then as he evolved into Infernape, a began to dispise him. I don't like Infernape at all, Monfernape is cool though.
After I started a new game I have been choosing Turtwig, and not evolving it. I haven't chosen Piplup.
I mean, Turtwig is AWESOME! Have you seen its' jaw?? EPIC!

 

[Lil'QD]

Best Starter is Chimchar(because he is fast and attacks are deadly)

 

[paramore_223]

Piplup!he's adorable!and I love Prinplup and Empoleon too, Turtwig is my second choice, Chimchar.....is my third, he's cute but, im not a big fan of Monferno and Infernape.... they're good for battling though..... :/

 

[Lil'QD]

Infernape WTF kind of question is that

 

[Ho-Oh]

Piplup. It's the one I picked because Chimchar and Turtwig are kinda boring as far as designs go. Idk about their strengths, though, but they seem boring to me. Haven't evolved Piplup more than its second evolution, lol.

 

[PKMwtfawesomeSAUCE]

Turtwig=Awesomeness

For some reason Iv'e been picking grass types as my starter. I picked Chimchar when i started my Diamond and wasn't very pleased.
