    I'm surprised that most trainers voted for Turtwig. It's the only one out of these three that I don't actually like (the looks of it).

    Usually I chose Piplup because it is cute and it's final evolution, Empoleon, can wall many things.
    But this time I chose Chimchar, urgh.. Didn't even train it until it's final evo. I'm so cruel 0_0

    Wish I could start over with a Piplup without loosing all of my pokemon T_T

    I chose Piplup, the only time I've actually gotten somewhere in the game.

    All the times I've only been playing the start half-heartedly, I've chosen Chimchar. So I wanted a bit of a change :p

    I like Chimchar better though. Fight + Fire rocks.

    Although I was planning to choose Piplup in my Platinum version, I ended up picking Chimchar instead. o3o I have no clue why, though. Maybe it's 'cause I can identify most with Fire-types. ♥

    Piplup. Empoleon has an easy time going through the game with it's what... 2 weaknesses? Anti-poison, too.

    Pearl: Piplup
    Platinum: Turtwig

    I prefer Turtwig and Piplup and their evolutions over Chimchar, since they can actually take a few hits.
