4th Gen What Pokemon Did You Start With?

[Flan]

I chose Turtwig first, on my Japanese Diamond.
And then once my English Diamond arrived, I chose Piplup.
I bought English Pearl a month later, and chose Chimchar.

I originally started with piplup coz I thought it would evolve into the fast one of the three but hated the last evolution so much so then I started with Chimchar and thought it was okay. I have yet to try it with turtwig but it's my favourite of the three ATM. I thought the newest 107 pokemon weren't very traditional pokemon and started to get less original. The older games didn't have the pokemon of time or the Pokemon of nightmares, they just had legendaries that were just there for no reason.

Well, discluding my first Blue version (which lost all it's data thanks to me being a little kid who let the big kids mess with my game via a game shark) where I started with Charmander, I always start with the water type on my first time around, and Diamond was no exception. If a third game in the D/P set ever comes out, I'm planning on going for Turtwig.

As for what I think of the starters, I love everything about the Turtwig line. Absolutely nothing wrong with it in my book. As far as Chimchar's line goes, it's okay... but also a Torchip ripoff. A good starter, but I would have liked something... new. :D;;; The Piplup line is alright, though Prinplup has gotta be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. Still, I love it.

Uh er sorry if that offends anyone, just telling it like it is :(

 

[Watch out for that jet Metang!]

I chose chimchar on diamond and im glad i did cause know i have lv 100 mixape!!!

 

[Daboys121]

I picked Piplup for some reason, I'm not sure why, maybe penguins are just cool.

 

[Hyperz]

I started with a Piplup, and I didn't fail!

 

[Cyberboy]

I started off with Piplup because I saw his final evolution and it looked amazing, but then once I got my swampert from diamond I forgot about him.

 

[Felice]

Piplup I think water is the best out of fire and grass

 

[Typhlosion50]

I started with a CHimchar with a brave nature

 

[Divine~Deoxys]

I started with Chimchar but i think that Torterra and Empoleon are mint. Each starter can take out the other coz fight good on Empoleon, Empoleon learn Drill Peck an Torterra learn EQ

 

[Nomaiya]

I started with a Chimchar, but it's an irritating little thing. I kinda wish I'd chosen Piplup now, but I'm too lazy to restart the game.
Torterra looks pretty awesome too /:

 

[TheNewFireEagle]

Alright, since I'm new here and I don't have a nintendo ds or a poke'mon pearl nor diamond anymore, I started with Piplup because it murdered the first gym leader. Yeah I know Piplup not a great poke'mon to start with(since all of the people around me says Chimchars the best) but when it turns into Empoleon it will dominate any poke'mon there is.

 

[KurosakiKun]

I chose Chimchar, because I'd never chosen a fire starter before and felt like a change. It's served me well, too, and has been the powerhouse of my non-ev team throughout the game.

I did end up getting all 3 from friends though.

 

[Pokégirl1]

I chose Piplup because I love penguins. But next time I will choose Chimchar,he is awesome. My husband chose him and he is great when he evolves

 

[solopy567]

I chose Piplup cos its then i dont have to catch another water type to surf...Plus it owns the first gym
