4th Gen The three starters

[Innagadadavida]

I don't care what anybody says about Turtwig, I'm choosing him. Besides, Torterra looks F'n AWESOME!

Imagine this, a team with Torterra, Blastoise, and Torcoal. That's a plant, water, and fire TURTLE TEAM!

Which reminds me, I really want to see the new TMNT movie.

AWWW! What if there was a ninja turtle Pokemon! It could be a fighting type! That would rule.

heh feel free to put torkoal on a team, but i assure you, it's not very helpful in battle. it only specializes in defense and has a VERY low speed, so it's not the best option even for a tank considering it has a mediocre sp defense. also, since it is a fire type, its high defense is left to mean very little because of the popularity of moves like earthquake and rock slide. it's quite silly that both its attack and sp attack are equally decent, but its sp defense is set lower than that.

 

[pikachulover306]

I'm definately going with piplup becasue I've only chosen a water starter on my LG and all my other starters were fire.

Awww maan. Why you gotta' rain on my parade like that. I wasn't concerned with the specs, it's the novelty of the idea.

Hey I like that idea ^.^
Although, I think that'd be kinda weird if they made another green turtle, haha, but oh well, stilla cool thought :D

Have fun with that. It most likely won't last long in battle especially Torcoal.

I always thought Shuckles look like a turtle too. Not that he'd be able to help much.

It could be purple, like the color of the "Fighting" bar.

I've won a fair share of battles with Torcoal. As long as the opponent was grass and had a lower level. I usually got out in the red.

"Surely you jest."

Indeed sir I do.

well we both know he *isn't* a turtle, but shuckle could be of some help in D/P. with the new move Power Trick, it can swap its own Attack and Defense stats. with a base def of 230, think about the damage you can cause with that. it would still leave his defense wide open for attack and doesn't excuse its very low speed and hp, but there's gotta be some moveset for shuckle that would finally let it shine. encore might actually be useful with shuckle considering that if a shuckle pops up, most people will come to the conclusion that it will only stall for few moves, allowing them to use a stat increasing move (Swords Dance/Calm Mind) so they can OHKO it and the rest of your team. risky but well worth the try.

I like the way you think, Samson. If ever they're were battling teams, I'd want you on mine.

I was thinking of a turtle team a while ago, but the question remains... how do you fly?

Anyway they are Tortoises, not Turtles. Except for Gastrodon.

 

[Obelisk]

originally i was going to pick turtwig but i think im going to pick pochama now because i dont like the gorund grass combo for torterra the water steel combo is pretty cool for empoleon.

 

[Thunderdash]

when i get Diamond and Pearl i am going to get all 3 starters

 

[piplupbetterthanturwigandchimchar]

With world-wide trading, you realize that you can get things like Darkrai and Arceus off forums for your pokedex. It'll be way easier.
Why not get all three starters that way? I will need a stunky.

 

[GottaLuvPikachu]

piplup looks really cute. With FireRed I always use Squirtle because Water beats Brock's Rock Types. Since I have no information on the type of trainers you meet for badges/ribbons/whatever I don't know what'd I'd pick.

 

[Mquaza]

I'll pick Turwig in my Diamond!!

 

[BlueEew]

I usually choose the fire starter on my first game, however I am un-sure at the moment.

I used a fire starter on all of my games (excluding GOLD), but the fire starter now is not ...... I don't think the word :P. In this version I will pick a grass starter!!

 

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

Piplup all the way peoples. water types were always good at thew first gyms!!

 

[Mquaza]

Yeah but I always chose fire typs. In my R/S/E you can't beat the first gym if you don't evolve Torchic into Combusken!
