4th Gen Which starter did you choose?

[Morgnarok]

As the title says can't get no simpler.

I my self started with a Turtwig and later on got Chimchar and Piplup

 

[Chub 777]

I started with a Turtwig.

 

[Aether★]

I started with Chimchar. Ended the game with Infernape in 57 Lv. Later I had chosen Chimchar again, evolved him to Monferno and used him as HM slave.

 

[Trace1992]

Started with Piplup and later on got Infernape

 

[TheBestOne]

Started with Piplup

I think I made the right choice :)

 

[Dakotah]

I started with Piplup. I always start with a water type.

 

[Linkdude231]

i chose chimchar every time!

 

[Surmonter]

I chose Piplup. I usually just shut my eyes and hit the arrow keys at random for about a minute then pick the one I land on. I like all the starters of this region equally.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Diamond: all 3 starters (in separate playthroughs of course; current is Turtwig)
Pearl: Chimchar
Platinum: Piplup (first game, lost), Turtwig (current game)

 

[Petemon]

Tutwig now Lv42.torterra Love it

 

[Melinda]

Piplup! :]<3 I mostly choose Piplup every time I restart my Pokemon Pearl. When Piplup gets boring I pick Chimchar.

 

[JackGamer]

Turtwig.
I wasn't overly keen on the starters in this gen. I kinda wish I'd chose Piplup, though. Ahh well.

Piplup, water types FTW!

I always chose water from then on-imagine my surprise at Falkner in Crystal when I didn't pwn him!

 

[Amore]

Piplup on my very first playthrough of both games.

I've used them all, but this time round in Diamond, I chose Chimchar due to lack of good fire/fighting-types, then got a Piplup egg because I couldn't find a decent natured Buizel and traded mine away for a Chatot in-game.

On Platinum, I tend to be swayed towards Turtwig, mainly as Magmortar, Gallade, Houndoom among others are available due to the expansion

 

[Faline]

Ever since the artworks were released. Piplup got me. Isn't it lovely? xD;

 

[Darksun]

Empoleon is my favorite starter evo, so I chose Piplup.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I started with Piplup. He's now a Lv100 Empoleon named Richter :P

 

[Medos]

I normally as a habit pick the Water Starter. In this case, I followed that habit, however the next playthrough I picked Chimchar. Due to a lack of fire pokemon to begin with... Then third playthrough I picked Turtwig, and on my fourth and final play, I used Turtwig again as he had my favourite final evolution... I don't know why, I just felt I liked his the best.

 

[~Nefi the Fable~]

I picked Chimchar the first time I played. It ended up a big mistake, so I ended up trading it on the GTS for a Piplup after I had already evolved it twice. xD

 

[Phantasmagoria]

During my first playthrough that I got bored of, I chose Chimchar. However, for reason just said, I simply traded all the Pokemon I wanted to keep to my Brother, and then restarted my Pearl. I chose Turtwig, whom I absolutely adore, and there we go. Now it's a wonderful Torterra named Tiny for the lulz.
