4th Gen Do You Keep Your Starter Pokemon??

[TascheMonster]

i usually do but after i restarted HG i just choose Cyndaquil but havent evolved him yet just left him unevolved throught the time

 

[takkunlove7]

I got my Cyndaquil to evolve to Quilava in HG and it's been in the box ever since. I don't know why but I almost never keep my starters past maybe the first 3 towns and then I get Pokemon that I really want and start breeding.
I haven't even finished the Kanto part of the story. I just spend so much time breeding.

 

[Xiǎo Dre]

I always keep my starter. It's always in a way my highest leveled Pokemon on my in-game team. If I removed it, I'd feel paranoid, and the game wouldn't be the same.

 

[deneric]

I USUALLY do, but in heart gold, I ended up liking Arcanine more than Quilava (never ended up evolving him), so i ditched him

 

[Celestis]

i usually keep it till the end of the story. But when the game is over i rarly ever have my starter after that.

 

[DBYstealthy]

Mostly, but sometimes I pick a starter that I like unevolved but I start to dislike when its evolved (ex. Turtwig to Torterra), but after a while I know which one I like overall.

 

[Blazesaga]

I always have my starter with me. The only time i dont' is when i'm on wi fi or trading with my friends. My Meganium has always had the last laugh when it came to tough battles.

 

[Arkywhitegirl]

I always do. It's really fun when I can get all of them.

I think it depends on my starter or what team I want to set up. For example, my most recent play of Emerald I had a team set up prior to starting the game and a started was not in need. My team ended up being a sandstorm sunny day team. Shiftry, Flygon, Wishcash, Haryiahma, Sandslash and Camerupt.

 

[PokéSwimmer]

I almost always keep my starter Pokemon on my team and so far have always had at least one starter Pokemon on my team. The only game in which I haven't kept my original starter was Diamond when I got rid of my Empoleon and traded for an Infernape (who was pretty much the only Gen IV starter that I liked).

 

[Jubi]

I still have Meganium...
He sadly is just banished to the PC =(

 

[Migit78]

My starter is and always has been my team
Im too lazy to train up an entire team so I keep my starter nice and strong
And we become the best as a fighting duo

 

[Legendary Silke]

Most of the time, it's in my team when I'm not Wi-Fi battling. Or trading. My starter will always exist in my games. Never released.

 

[Ashdude]

Yes, I kept him. I don't know why, but I did.

 

[sirindair]

Always. Unless I'm competitively battling.

 

[Haus of Dye]

I used to, but recently in HeartGold I traded a lot of recently caught pokemon from my Sister's Pearl and Soul Silver and I replaced my Totodile with a shiny Snorunt. Sorry Totodile :(

 

[RandomYoshiX3]

I always keep my starter pokemon, but that's because they're usually one of my favourite pokemon.
I only replace them when I want to breed some pokemon and have 5 eggs in my team.
Because then I have a pokemon who knows fly for that last spot.

 

[Jayster23]

My Typhlosion has been in my team since it was a wee wittle Cyndaquil. I dunno why but i'm more of a solo trainer than a team trainer. And usually when i pick my starter i use nothing else. In LG my Charizard was level 80 something before i even took on the league in which he grew 2 levels. So yeah My Start Pokemon has my respect and i'll only take it out when i have eggs or i have to show something or something along those lines.

 

[Imperator161]

I always keep my starter on my team. I tend to grow attached to my starter during the early game, when it's my main Pokemon, and that attachment remains even after I develop more of a team. When I was younger, I used to refuse to ever put my starter in the PC for any reason! Now, I'll do that, but only to temporarily make space (e.g., for trading or breeding).

 

[Starshine ~]

Lmao, for my LeafGreen game, I had a blastoise named Cookie.

I still remember my E4 team.
Levels 23, 89, 10, 45.

Yeah, guess who was level 89 LOL.
