Playthroughs with a different starter than Turtwig, Chimchar, or Piplup
 
Anyone doing one?

I am. I started with Riolu, and throughout the game I've traded myself other Pokemon(the Kanto starters+Dratini), and am right now almost to the 4th gym :D

kissing. raindrops April 25th, 2009 10:55 AM

I've tried that, although it gets so annoying when the Pokemon doesn't obey you at the start before you get the 2nd gym badge.

I did one with my trusty Bagon. <3 mence.

BoBoMaster13 April 25th, 2009 2:22 PM

I traded a Pikachu, Charmander and 1 other for my playthrough along with pipulp.

Kotone April 25th, 2009 2:31 PM

Sword Up My Butt April 25th, 2009 2:31 PM

Hmm
 
I think Im going to do that with platinum, but with which pokemon hmmmmm?

ShadowMario128 April 25th, 2009 2:47 PM

I always do this with the 3rd game of each gen. It makes the game more fun and it feels more fresh.

JP April 25th, 2009 6:41 PM

Ow, kinda wished I had thought of doing that. I'll probably try that with the next gen's 3rd game.

scoli April 25th, 2009 11:27 PM

I just finnished doing one =], used Eevee.

Sackferth April 25th, 2009 11:34 PM

If you trade an egg over to it, it will have the OT of whatever game it hatches on; which means it will always listen to you no matter what level it gets to.

MetalMario April 26th, 2009 11:35 AM

I did a Scramble Challenge for Diamond, where a Horsea basically served as my starter.

On Platinum, I'm using my Turtwig along with a Bagon from an egg and a Cyndaquil off the GTS. It gets annoying when CYndaquil won't obey despite being at the same level as my other Pokémon.

What were they thinking making the Pokémon of the Gym needed to make Levels 10-30 obey have levels in their 20s? =/

mystery913 April 26th, 2009 4:20 PM

ive always wanted to do this but i wouldnt know what pokemon to use maybe a pokemon thats not in the original sinnoh dex maybe ill try with a horsea or something...

Game Over1375 April 26th, 2009 4:29 PM

I personally would like to start out with a dragon...

You know what? I am going to do that right now. Just how do you trade eggs to another game though?

Zelda April 26th, 2009 4:31 PM

I haven't done it before but I had though about it once. :) xD

The only thing is that when they get to a certain level they will disobey.

lolwut April 26th, 2009 4:33 PM

yeah i did on this playthrough
i sent over these:
aerodactyl lvl 1
bulbasaur lvl 1
staryu lvl 1
houndour lvl 1
snorlax lvl 1
elekid lvl 1

Mimikyu402 April 27th, 2009 3:02 AM

I have done tha lots of times on my DP games , but I usually trade over eggs so I wont have any obidience issues later on, right now on my pearl I have transfered a growlithe and beldum egg to my new run In pearl that I will start later today

Gymnotide April 27th, 2009 12:23 PM

I did that with a Smeargle.

dotKarma April 27th, 2009 12:25 PM

I've hatched a Totodile egg in Diamond and went through with that (after, of course, training it to level 30 in another game. )

Dunsparce April 27th, 2009 12:50 PM

I've only done that on Crystal. I caught a Dunsparce in Dark Cave before I even went to Violet City for the first time, and I ditched My Starter(Cyndaquil) for it.

And that led to me liking Dunsparce more than any other Pokemon ever. Yep... Still have that Dunsparce. Good times...

With Platinum, I just Picked Naetoru and rolled with it, because it's fully-evolved form, Dodaitos, is the ONLY starter with a STAB Earthquake.

Akeraz April 27th, 2009 1:33 PM

Meh, I restarted platinum.
I dumped my Chimchar in the PC, because it was bold natured.
I'm now using Staravia and Machop..
Which are both adamant natured :)

Kiitsune April 28th, 2009 11:08 AM

I replaced my piplup for my beloved vulpix <3

JustinDestruction April 28th, 2009 11:18 AM

On Platinum I traded over some eggs. I beat the game with an all fire team that consisted of Flareon, Blaziken, Charizard, Camerupt, Houndoom, and Entei. Entei was level 53ish and I only actually used him if I was in trouble.

The Apprentice™ April 28th, 2009 11:20 AM

I used Eevee as my starter =] it's fun.

Rubber Ducky April 28th, 2009 11:36 AM

I did that with Torchic, Charmander, Trapinch, and Eevee (Espeon).

PlatinumDawnFtw April 28th, 2009 11:41 AM

I honestly hate the idea of using a different starter than the 3 available ones.

Neaaaa.... i hatezorz the starterzzzz so i'll trade ova a 1337 [insert powerful pokemon here] with lotz of 1337 tms like tbolt and surfff........ taste this roark...

My #1 philosophy with in-game pokemon teams: use whats available!!
