  • Turtwig for me. =D

    Not just because Grass are my favourite type, but he is usefull against most leaders as well. He still owns Chimchar with Razor Leaf. xD

    I'm undecided about Platinum. If I got it, I'd trade an egg of another starter over since I have them all in Diamond. Maybe Treecko and Cyndaquil; never used Treecko and haven't used Cyndaquil since Silver.

    Chimchar is my starter in my Diamond game. In my Pearl ROM I have Turtwig, and Piplup in my Platinum ROM. Chimchar is most definitely my favorite.

    Piplup, I chose Chimchar in Diamond. And if in some instance I buy Pearl I will chose Turtwig in that one.

  • Piplup will be my choice; I think that Chimchar + evolutions is ugly, and I'm playing through Pearl with Torterra at the moment and find myself wishing I had Piplup and his evolutions to help me out more.

  • Why is everybody basing their starter on what they chose in Diamond and Pearl? If anything, you should be trying something different this time around!

    I went with Piplup in Diamond, so I'm going with Turtwig in Platinum.

    I will choose Chimchar s always. I still really dont like the other two. The only time I have chosen anything other than the fire starter was in 3rd gen because all 3 were cool.

  • Hm... I dunno...

    In Pearl I chose Chimchar... but I usually choose the fire starter (In Sapphire I chose Torchic, in FireRed, Charmander)
    In Diamond I chose Piplup, BUT. **** came up and I didn't get to properly play with it... (in my second run on FR I chose Squirtile, and I did a quick run with Mudkip in Emerald..)

    I don't really care much for Turtwig... but I dunno. xD (In Emerald I chose Treeko)

    ~~~

    I really don't know. I DO have ALL the starters in Pearl, and really 4/5th of the Pokemon... so I can trade over an egg of pretty much anything I want to Platinum. =3 (I also have TWO DSes, so I can trade it over as soon as I'm able to get into the Pokemon Center in Sangem.)

    Arg... @_@
