4th Gen What Pokemon Did You Start With?

[CartoonJunkie]

I picked Piplup as my first. Diamond is my first pokemon game and I didn't really know much when I started so I based it on cuteness. I got lucky and got a female too so I bred it and traded the babies for a turtwig and a chimchar.

So did you start with piplup, chimchar or turtwig?
Also can you tell me what you think of the three starters
Rate My Thread Please. Thank You!

chimchar

because of the lack of fire pokes

 

[EmeraldSky]

Chimchar, since there weren't too many good fire types this time around.

 

[nightmaresaria]

Ha ha I kinda cheated and used my bf's diamond to get all three starters...
I used chimchar and piplup and got them to final forms.
I'd have to say that Empoleon is much better than infernape

 

[AAMLBeast]

I chose a Turtwig! :)

Even before getting my Pokemon Pearl, I already decided to choose turtwig as my starter. And it was really strong, it was able to handle some strong opponents. I could've been one of the best starters if it was just fast.

Chimchar, because of it being a monkey and can spit fire outta its mouth.

 

[♥Pureza♥]

I chose piplup because it's my favorite of the Sinnoh starters.

 

[dtrain24]

Turtwig. My Torterra is awesome. Plus, I just like Turtwig.

Well, although I got both versions together, I started them at different times.
I went through Pearl first, choosing Piplup. Mainly because I thought it was better looking than the other two ;)
He certainly proved to be a reliable starter when he evolved into Empoleon..

And after a week or two I started Diamond, this time choosing Turtwig. I don't like Chimchar or it's evolutions, so I doubt i'll ever choose it should I ever play through again :l

But I wouldn't mind trading an egg over and starting with a Beldum ;P

 

[Icthys]

I started off with piplup, then i got the chimchar and turtwig as the game progresses.. I chose piplup as my starter because I thought the evolution of it looks the most normal. Because Infernape looked like a ripoff or Blaziken and Torterra just looked weird because it has a tree on its back... Its just my opinion.

 

[Asch_R2]

Started with Chimchar as I like fire types

 

[LeeJ124]

I started with piplup becoz I usually get the water starter.

 

[AJ_wishmaker]

Piplup its the cutest and its powerful

I didnt pick Chimchar because I think its technically a faster version of Blaziken, and i like Blaziken so I'd stick with that

I didnt chose Turtwig because of its terrible weakness to ice as a Torterra and on my Diamond when I chose it i really struggled against the Snowpoint Gym

 

[sakuraa]

i chose chimchar and not regretting my decision yet. (;

i do wish i could've started out with all 3, but oh well. chimchar, to me, is like another blaziken for me. :P (& i loved blaziken, especially the fire/fighting type)

water and steel doesn't really work out for me.

 

[Master Ty]

I picked piplip because i usaily pick water but later i got all three because off friends :)

 

[M@XWeru]

Piplup! Metal!
Actually, I just thought it was the only one which didn't look like it had passed through the digestive tract of some large, violently flatulent beast, but I digress...

 

[Quickster]

I started with piplup!
alothoufh i ended up getting the other two but only used the chimchar.

 

[Master Ty]

I chose all three cuz a glitch

I chose all three cuz a glitch.

Chose Turtwig. Torterra sounded fun, but after beating the E4, I've just left it in the PC, replaced by EV'd things.
