Piplup was my starter in Platinum, and because I don't battle competitively yet, it worked out really well for me. I used Turtwig in my Pearl game though, and I preferred Torterraa lot more.
Once I finish Black 2, I'm going to build myself a team and try some competitive battling... Doesn't seem too easy though, so I don't know how I'll do :/
