i wouldnt. i would choose chimchar because hes stronger

Sweet Candace February 17th, 2008 2:19 PM

I'm not a fan of a big challenge. I want to go the easy way. I haven't taken Chimchar. All three are strong, it just depends who you ask

The woot defense
 
Piplup is the best starter for the begining. Chimchar is the best for the end. Turtwig is best all around.

Piplup is good for the start because of its defense and special attack and its resistances are phenomenal. Chimchar is best in the end for it has many weaknesses but many strengths as well and its speed attack and special attack are good. It also learns many great varying attacks. Turtwig is ok for both start and finish, but it also has the least strengths and the most weaknesses. It has high attack HP and defence and decent special defense.

I chose piplup becouse its a penguin!!!

Oh, the stats and stuff are only when there fully evolved.

I used Chimchar and Piplup from the start. My brother and I did some trading so we each had two starters. I felt Empoleon did the best in the E4, since he resists Bertha's Sandstorm, a lot of poison from Aaron, and is super effective against half of Flint's team. Infernape didn't last long and only was helpful against pokemon he could OHKO. He's still a beast though.

Torterra was only easy to use in my Pearl because of his massive HP that allows him to use Wood Hammer many times without dying.

kool nice one. but whihc one did you choose?

Jack Surge February 17th, 2008 4:51 PM

I chose Chimchar, since he was the one with the same ID as my trainer. Piplup came from another trainer ID.

PhoenixFlare February 17th, 2008 5:49 PM

Chimchar. It's a flaming monkey! =D

PeeKaChu February 17th, 2008 5:51 PM

:D

♣Gawain♣ February 17th, 2008 7:38 PM

I choose Piplup because of it's def.

Yuoaman February 17th, 2008 7:40 PM

I chose Piplup, it has great defense, and it's final form is part steel! That's awesome!

Lil-Dill February 17th, 2008 7:42 PM

I chose Turtwig...because I just chose him...I like the colour GREEN to. So yea...

thedunn805 February 18th, 2008 11:07 AM

Torterra February 18th, 2008 12:25 PM

Turtwig.. its sooo cuuuteeee ><

Actually I took him because of his final form.. Torterra pwns ><

Jessie February 18th, 2008 12:38 PM

I started with Piplup...but I got the other 2 starters a few days later so it didn't really matter either way. ^.^

PKMN Trainer Green February 18th, 2008 1:43 PM

I always pick the grass starter (Except in Silver when I picked Totodile), so I went with Turtwig.

Umi Ryuzaki February 18th, 2008 2:38 PM

I started with a chimchar and now is a Infernape
i always choose fire starteer pokemon except in crystal I choose totodile

Gummy February 18th, 2008 2:40 PM

On my first run I started with Turtwig and it was really enjoyable. On my second playthrough I chose Chimchar and had a friend trade me Piplup and Turtwig.

2B a master February 18th, 2008 2:44 PM

I started out with piplup. Now it is an empoleon. Now I barely use it but i wouldn't trade it cuz I never trade my starter pkmn away. I don't know why I chose a water type starter. In the past games I usually chose the fire type starter except the very first time I played pokemon. I chose squirtle in blue version.

umbros February 18th, 2008 3:55 PM

Jeez, reading this all, I feel slightly inclined to stick up for Turtwig and Torterra... but I guess some people just don't like grass types all that much.

~Swish~ February 19th, 2008 1:52 AM

I chose Piplup, for no outstanding reason really, other than some video I watched showed him using Piplup + evolutions, and them looking good, so thought I'd pick it. Not a fan of any of the 3 really though. I don't have my Empoleon anymore.

Forgiven February 19th, 2008 2:24 AM

lol i choose piplup then when i got to jubilife city i traded it over to my diamondand breeded it with a ditto then took all the piplups around the elite 4 intill i got them to lvl 40 then by that time i had got 5 badges on pearl so then i traded them back now i have a team of shiny empoleaons becouse my ditto was shiny :-)
