    When the English version comes out, I might go with Turtwig. I've started with Chimchar too many times and Piplup is just a bad choice in my opinion. I've only played with Turtwig once but Leafeon has always been the staple grass-type in my team for sentimental reasons. *cheesy* :<

    Chimchar is the only starter I like from Sinnoh so I will keep picking it but my main pokemon will be Budew again any way.

    I used piplup in diamond which worked out great, but I think I'm gonna choose tutwig in platinum. I think I'll just box him and pick out a team to train and use from my diamond.

    I will go with Chimchar. I have a tradition of using the water starter first and then the 2nd game the fire type. I never go with the grass starters.

    Imma go with piplup now on the jap version because I've played numerous files but never using piplup, when English version comes out, Im not going to use any of the starters but instead focus on all my favorites from the 60 added pokemon. not a single pokemon in my team that was from the original sinnoh dex

    I think I'll be starting with Turtwig. I've kinda used Piplup too many times, and I don't really think Chimchar will be a good starter for me. I actually think I'll get my starter, ctach 2 Starlys, than trade the starlys for pilup and chimchar with my friends! (Then they can restart) So I'll have all 3!

    Chimchar always. Hardly used the other 2 this time. Chimchar has served me well this time, but I'm sure I won't really focus on any of the starters. Got my new team all lined up already :)
