Which pokemon should you start with?
 
Well the title says it all. Which Pokemon would you start with in Pokemon Platinum?
Me personaly would start with Chimchar. Then I would abandun him for Typhlosion or Blaziken.

The Dragon Master Is Back May 17th, 2009 2:42 AM

Piplup All The Way!
Ill Never abandon him cause he'll evolve into a
super strong Empoleon!
>>>Trust Me Its A Strong Pokemon<<<
But Not As Stong As Dragonite!

Captain Fabio May 17th, 2009 2:53 AM

There isn't one you SHOULD start with.
It is down to personal preference.
One isn't really worse than the other...

I normally go for the little fiery monkey.

Pyrax May 17th, 2009 4:23 AM

I'd choose turtwig.
I won't abandon him though.

totodilefan May 17th, 2009 7:17 PM

I always go for the water in this case piplup... but im a huge fan of water types

Kaseo May 17th, 2009 7:21 PM

I chose Turtwig. It seems that he's the least popular of the 3, so that's actually a plus for me. And I like to go with the story. Diamond has Turtwig in the manga, Pearl has Chimchar and yeah

*~Fireheart~* May 17th, 2009 7:26 PM

Depends on what Pokémon I'm in the mood for. First time was Turtwig, 2nd was Chimchar, and the 3rd time I chose Piplup.

ItzMike May 18th, 2009 1:14 AM

Hmm i chose Turtwig. Cause hes awesome of course

Kokuo May 18th, 2009 7:55 AM

I choose Turtwig because it's my favorite Sinnoh starter.

Ayselipera May 18th, 2009 6:20 PM

Well I prefer to chose Turtwig since
he'll evole into a strong grass/ground
type.

I thought Turtwig was the most popular. Well, anyway, I chose Piplup and I'm not evolving it.

Alpha Bass May 18th, 2009 6:37 PM

Piplup of course! Heh, the water types always seem cool to me....excpet in johto...cydiquil was the best in johto....

Sirius May 18th, 2009 6:41 PM

Either Piplup or Chimchar.

With Piplup, you can easily beat Roark's pokemon, but you'll have a hard time with some of the other gyms unless you can fully evolve it.

With Chimchar you'll have to evolve it before the fist gym, but then you'll be able to get through the others fairly easy.

Both are also pretty good for battling as well.

sez1992 May 18th, 2009 6:50 PM

I chose Piplup because it was cute and I love water pokemon!

PrimalMario May 18th, 2009 7:38 PM

Hmm...

My preference- Chimchar

Not too bad- Piplup


But mudkip still pwnz all!

TFN May 19th, 2009 2:22 AM

I always go for Piplup cause it evolves into Empoleoan who is one great pokemon

Sweet Jasmine May 19th, 2009 7:51 AM

i Prefer Turtwig! Leaf Pokemon is also Good :D
Go Grass Type Pokemon and Normal Rocks >3

-Yasumin >3

Gimmy May 19th, 2009 8:13 AM

I'd choose Turtwig just for Torterra. I started with Chimchar this time though because I haven't picked him yet in the 1,000 times I've restarted. XD

Tzini May 19th, 2009 8:50 AM

I chose Chimchar on Pearl and Piplup on Platinum....
I think Piplup was the best choice 'cos it learned both surf and waterfall and evolved into Empoleon which is a really strong Pokemon
but you shouldn't abandon your starter...

Lady Missie May 19th, 2009 10:21 AM

I have a thing for grass pokemon so take a wild guess which one I chose. :D

Sweet Jasmine May 19th, 2009 10:40 AM

Well Turtwig.Piplup and Chimchar is good
But.. Grass Vs Water.. Grass Wins
Water Vs Fire.. Water Wins
Fire Vs Grass Fire Wins
Haha! So you cannot really choose between them >3.. But for me
They are all good ^_^

-Yasumin >3

Pokeyomom May 19th, 2009 11:04 AM

Turtwig ftw. I love grass types, and Torterra is one tough poke.

Barney. May 19th, 2009 11:44 AM

I chose chimchar in Pearl.

But I'm gonna choose Turtwig in platinum.

Kayahtic May 19th, 2009 12:12 PM

I would start with Tortwig prolly, that or Chimpchar.

Zelda May 19th, 2009 5:36 PM

I have already chosen Chimchar. In Pearl I chose Piplup, so I wanted something different.
