    Naetoru/Turtwig!! <3 I love it so much! I love Naetoru, Hayashigame/Grotle, and Dodaitosu/Torterra! They all just scream awesomeness. =3

    That, and I hate Pochama/Piplup and its evolutions and Hikozaru/Chimchar and Gokazaru/Infernape. However, I do like Mokazaru/Monferno.

    Well, I picked Chimchar in Diamond and Piplup in Pearl, so I guess I'll be fair and give Turtwig a shot. If that doesn't work out though, I'll restart and pick Chimchar. He was definitely a better choice than Piplup. At least, he was for me.

  • Well, I haven't really tried Chimchar but once and the rest of my team was so poorly done on Pearl that I was blaming Chimchar for sucking.

    so I'll choose Piplup cuz it's super cute x3

    but I might trade a Torchic to my Platinum since it's my fav starter ! ^^

  • I think I´ll choose Piplup since I took Chimchar in Diamond and I don´t like Turtwig. It just looks strange and doesn´t really look cooler later on....

  • Alright, for avatar wise, I'll choose Chimchar as a starter because the Infernape avatar looks cool but for battle wise, I'll stick with Piplup in the beginning.

    I went by color and did Piplup=Diamond Chimchar=Pearl so I'll just use Turtwig in Platinum.

  • In my Diamond I chose Chimchar as my starter and she became the powerhouse in my team. I later, after beating Roark, traded Piplup and Turtwig into my Diamond but still Infernape is the strongest pokémon of those three. ^^ In my Pearl, that I got last week, I decided to give a try and started out with Piplup and even tough she is strong she isn´t as good as my Chimchar was. xD So I guess I´ll be starting Platinum with Turtwig and trade both Chimchar and Piplup into it. : D I´m just so bored as in Finland we have no clue when Platinum is going to be released. I hope that soon because I´m eager to see those new sprites and to get beat Cynthia again and again. ^^
