Reason: Chimchar is OHKO by everyone, Turtwig is slow as hell, and Piplup is just plain retarded

Starting pokemon: Chimchar (now Infernape)
Reason: Because I thought since the majority of the new pokemon in Sinnoh Valley were grass and other types - but a fire pokemon was rare, I figured that could work towards my advantage! Now, I'm discovering that Infernape is quite diverse and can learn a lot of different attacks (such as the grass knot) that I never thought possible.
