    I started my first time in Daimond with Chimchar. Just made him my HM Whore after transferring better starters.
    My first time in Pearl I chose Turtwig, didn't really care for it.
    My current Pearl I have Piplup, and I really like him.
    I'm gunna use him for Roark, then trade over A Team from Pearl.
    Totadile ftw.

    I started Pearl with Chimchar because my friend said he would trade me a piplup if i got a chimchar. So fir Platinum Im gonna start with Piplup like I wanted to in the first place.

    Chimmy-char. I picked Piplup in Diamond, but that was before I learned about competitive battling. Now I can finally get an Infernape and own with it. ^_^

    But Chimmy puts me at a type disadvantage for a few gyms, notably the first.

    I'm choosing Chimchar for a change. I always choose the water starters for some strange reason :|

    I think ima have to choose turtwig again. I like him the best out of the three, although all of them aren't as cool as the previous generations.

    I will go with Chimchar again as I like fire types and with the lack of fire types in the region and Infernape being a good fire type Pokémon I guess so.

    Piplup. I've run through Diamond twice with Turtwig and Chimchar and my main game is Pearl with a Piplup, so I'll start Piplup again. I'll end up deleting the save to start again repeatedly anyway so it doesn't really matter :3

    Meh...probably Turtwig, because I've had Chimchar in Diamond and really dislike Piplup. Although, my favorite set of starters were the GSC ones, so I'm not that enthusiastic about these starters anyway.

    I will pick Turtwig because I used Piplup in Diamond and Chimchar in Pearl so it only makes sense to use Turtwig now lol

    I think I'm going to start with Piplup. I started with Turtwig in Diamond, and I'm planning on Chimchar for Pearl, so I'm going with Piplup in Platinum :3
