Starter in Platinum?
 
I am choosing Piplup. I choose him for Diamond. So...

Lycaeus March 1st, 2009 5:42 AM

I really don't like any of the starters, so I'll probably pick Piplup and play with him through the first badge and then trade someone over.
Hmm, maybe a Pikachu or Nidoran Male :D

King! March 1st, 2009 5:44 AM

Well, I used to have Pearl and I started with Piplup, now I have a Chimchar in diamond, so in Platinum, it'd be a Turtwig!

Skandel March 1st, 2009 5:51 AM

I took Chimchar ^^ (I have the Japanese version)

Spectacular Hero March 1st, 2009 6:46 AM

I always pick Chimchar so I'll start with it

thedestinedblade March 1st, 2009 7:00 AM

Probably Piplup. Never bothered choosing it in Diamond.

dc_united March 1st, 2009 7:23 AM

Chimchar. I picked piplup on diamond, and I hated it.

레트로 March 1st, 2009 7:24 AM

Piplup, but I beat the first gym and got a totodile, Cyndaquil, and an Eevee. XD
My poor piplup was an outcast. ;-;
So I released it. :P

I bought two Platinum versions (since I'm a pokemon addict >_>), and I think on the first version I will not use any starter since I dislike them and will trade over my favourite pokemon instead, and on the second version I'll probably try to give myself more of a challenge and pick Piplup. I'd pick Turtwig normally since I almost always pick the Grass-type starter, but it's so ugly and I hate its typing when it's fully evolved. D:

Ultra Ball X March 1st, 2009 7:27 AM

Turtwig. Not a big fan of Grass types, but he is a turtle and I love turtles :D

iTzKaizer March 1st, 2009 7:29 AM

I choose chimchar because in the last evolution, fire and fighting are a great combo.

PlatinumDawnFtw March 1st, 2009 7:36 AM

I've never chosen Turtwig, so I'll go with him this time.

Ninja Tophat March 1st, 2009 7:40 AM

I'm going to stick with Turtwig since he has a fair amount of health and defense when he get's to be a Torterra. That and my starters are always HM slaves, so he's decent as a low powered HM slave/tank.

Cyntric March 1st, 2009 7:49 AM

I had piplup in pearl and diamond so I want my favorite of them all!!!! TURTWIG!

Draknir March 1st, 2009 7:55 AM

Since I chose Chimchar in my japanese Platinum, thus completing the Type Triangle(Diamond=Piplup, Pearl=Turtwig, Platinum=Chimchar), I think I'll go with my favorite of them all. Piplup. Although, since I am going to have a Manaphy that kinda puts it up in the air. Then again, I did have both on my original Diamond Team. Great now I don't know what one I want to pick!

Foxnordic March 1st, 2009 8:35 AM

i choose turtwig in pearl version but i don't like using starters so i'll just use turtwig for trading purposes

masterfun101 March 1st, 2009 8:40 AM

Turtwig. I chose him in Pearl so I might as well. HE'S AWESOME!!

JustinDestruction March 1st, 2009 8:42 AM

I was planning on Turtwig, though I will probably go with Chimchar. I want to use all Fire Pokémon for the game.

Ru-Kun March 1st, 2009 8:58 AM

I think I'm going to use Turtwig.

dotKarma March 1st, 2009 9:08 AM

Chimchar because in my current file on Diamond I started with a Turtwig, plus every other time I played through Diamond I had a Piplup. And then in Platinum (Japanese) I got a Piplup.

I'll probably trade an Eevee over though as soon as possible (like right after having that long talk with Rowan) and just have that as my main pokemon.

.MurkyBurning. March 1st, 2009 9:09 AM

piplup. it helped me alot in my diamond game so yeah....but i might change my mind.

Jojo- March 1st, 2009 9:12 AM

Turtwig for me. =D

Not just because Grass are my favourite type, but he is usefull against most leaders as well. He still owns Chimchar with Razor Leaf. xD

NikokingTheEpic March 1st, 2009 9:17 AM

Turtwig Or Chimchar.

I'm not really sure.

IceDrake523 March 1st, 2009 10:19 AM

I'm undecided about Platinum. If I got it, I'd trade an egg of another starter over since I have them all in Diamond. Maybe Treecko and Cyndaquil; never used Treecko and haven't used Cyndaquil since Silver.

Wolfwhispers March 1st, 2009 10:24 AM

I'll have Turtwig. After all, what's better than a turtle with a tree on its back?
