4th Gen What Pokemon Did You Start With?

[Darkrai_Of_Solitude]

Chimchar was my little baby through thick and thin but this time around in my sinnoh adventure i remembered how hard it was to beat the elite four when i had a level 60 infernape and the rest of my pokemon were in the twenties so i trained so hard this time my eyes bled from squinting at the little screen. XD

I chose Piplup, how can you not choose a goddamn penguin? :D

 

[Darkrai Lv X]

Chimchar.I named it Big Man.Turns out it's a girl.

 

[BadWolf_Bay]

I got a Piplup. I've only been playing for a month, It's now a Empoleon.

 

[Omerta]

Piplup in Diamond and a Chimchar in Pearl.

 

[Majay-hi]

I started off with chimchar cuz I always start off with the fire type and who could blame me with pokemon like Typhlosion, Charzard,and Blaziken in the past. I had high hopes 4 chimchar but i was wrong, chimchar was kinda pathetic even as an infernape. Personaly the only starter that is any good in D/P was turtwig.

I chose Piplup. Why? Dawn has a Piplup and I like pokemon contests and she uses it! Yes,its a weird reason....

 

[Mew princess]

piplup

I chosse piplup because it's a water type and based on a penguin.

 

[Darkrayz]

More and more people are choosing piplup.

 

[Vulpid]

Turtwig! I gotta love leaf pokemon!

 

[Darkrayz]

lol i guess most people chose chimchar more than piplup

 

[kickerbox]

i chose piplup by "accident". i thought there was going to be a dragon guy in the elite four but i was wrong. and i thought empoleons moveset he learned was pretty small.

 

[Darkrayz]

LOL but you should be happy that you chose piplup

 

[Kechi]

Chimchar, which is really odd because in every previous game I always picked the grass type starter for my first time through.

 

[Darkrayz]

it would be good if you could catch bulbasaur,charmandar,squirtle without pal park

 

[Circuit]

I chose Chimchar only because I was able to avoid going to the lake first and some how use pal park. The man let me in and I caught Bulbasaur and Totadile. Honestly, no cheats! It was really wierd because I always try to go in grass first time and this time it let me in the grass. So thats why I chose Chimchar which I nicknamed Chimp lol!! All of my pokemon are stage 2 now and I have been playing this for almost three months (yes, I like to make sure that I have done and got everything before moving on. I am also a girl called Jessica, you cant beat the name for coolness in a contest!

 

[ninjamaster195]

Chimchar since I like Fire pokemon and I usually can't find a decent fire type to fit my needs throughout the game.

Then they wouldn't make as much money... It makes people buy Fire Red and Leaf Green if they don't have friends with the games already. Also, you can get them at GTS if you have Wi-Fi.

It's also a pattern among all Pokemon games! They're meant to require social interaction for completion; a selling point for both parents and children. Remember, although intelligent people like you and I may enjoy a good video game as well, these games were originally marketed to young children. With the emergence of Diamond and Pearl, they really switched they've broadened their scope to include an older audience, but they're not going to intentionally lose a large section of the market.

Ahem... I started with Piplup ;).
