Do you still have your starter Pokémon in your party?
The title says all.
I currently have my Torterra in my party, but it's only because I haven't found any better Pokémon yet. |
i do have plenty of pokemon, but my infernape will always be with me, no matter what! xD
|
in my offline-team (not wifi-team) infernape will always have an place there.. i have made up my mind that i will take in future torterra and empoleon in my team ^^ the 4th pokemon will be crobat (especially for flying), bibarel (best vm-slave alive =D) and garchomp (because its one of my favourite pokemon)
|
I do have my starter Pokemon in my team and always will because it's pretty much the dominating heavy attacker, which is Torterra. I love it when he's on my team, when he's on there, it makes me cry. Nah, just kidding.
|
I do, mainly because I'm doing a water monotype challenge, and Empoleon's pretty useful. But even when I'm playing through for fun, I will use my starter.
|
I still have my starter in my party because it's not that weak. Also I don't have any outstanding pokemon right now that should make my starter go in the PC. My starter is at very good use as well. It mostly helps me EV train very weak pokemon, so I don't really have a reason not for it to be in my party.
|
I have my Torterra in my party on Diamond, but I didn't use my Chimchar at all in Platinum. He's probably in a box somehwere.
|
Yep still have my Infernape in my party, it could probably defeat all the Gym Leaders by itself
|
Yup I still carry my Infernape with me, but it's the lowest leveled pokemon in my party.
|
Erm Yes? Why wouldn't it be. I mean, my starter Pokemon is probably the strongest in my team.
|
Nope. I sorta let it rot in my PC. : D
|
When i got the game a while ago, i didn't know that you couldn't use the PC well trading, so i had to give up my Empoleon for a giveaway :( So no, i don't have it anymore.
|
Actually, I do. I've used my Empoleon in a lot of WiFi battles, since it had the perfect Nature, and I redid it's EVs.
|
Of course. I would always keep Infernape with me. =)
|
In Platinum, I do since I still haven't gone around to building a competitive team and I still need it to get around some places I haven't explored. In Diamond, I have long abandoned my starter.
|
Yes, I still use it but it's not my main Pokemon that I use, it's probably my second tho.
|
Yes, but if I battle online I will take him outta the lineup. Torterra is just so sweet:p
|
I always have my starter i just do i think that the players 1st pokemon is very important
|
I still have my torterra but I tend to never use it I use Mamoswine more often
|
No I never keep the starters..
It's not my thing. |
I have in all three of my games; the only time my starter (2 Empoleon 1 Torterra) go away is for breeding sprees or trading huge numbers of pokémon. My party would feel empty without a starter.
|
I always have my Pokemon Starter here in my party. Because it's the very first pokemon i had. And i want to stick with my pokemon on a long long journey. ^^
|
yeah i always keep my infernape with me ^^
|
yeah i always keep my starter pokemon in my party
cause, well: 1. its usually my strongest 2 it's the first pokemon you get in the game (and the one you probably pay most attention to) |
Of course I do and I usually have them be on a higher lvl then the others. Idk y it's just an impulse that my first pokemon should be a leader for the rest of the team but only by 3-5 lvl
|
My starter is lost in my boxes...so no.
|
My Infernape was replaced by Salamence, he never leaves my side!
|
Yes, I still have my Empoleon in my party.
|
I use A starter Pokemon in competitive battling if that counts.... not the same one I chose in the beginning (using a bred one) but it's a descendant! :P
|
In my current play through of Pearl i do, but in my old file i didnt, empoleon is useless.
|
empoleon is sometimes with me, but when i was able to migrate lapras, she pretty much took over as the powerhouse water type, then bulbasaur came and i had to make room for him. right now i'm trying to get all of my team pokemon fully leveled up, but leading is rapidash, as she was caught as a ponyta early on at lvl 5 and i always seemed to use it most anyways currently its as lvl 77
|
In Pokemon Pearl, even though I have completed my game and all, it is still with me. It helps me catch the legendaries, shinies, and other pokemon I need. It also helps me EV train my pokemon.
In Pokemon Platinum, I still have my starter because I haven't beat the Elite Four yet, and I still need it in order to beat it. |
No i dont have him there for now I tend to trade off with all my pokemon so I wont get bored training the same ones
|
My Infernape is sickly awesome. I just can't leave it hanging around with weak pokemon inside my box.(Seriously, my Infernape will destroy any pokemon in my box)So, I'm just being a good trainer.
|
Negative dood, got rid of my torterra in Diamond because it flat out sucked and didn't even use my Chimchar in Platinum because I had a pre-made team ready on my Diamond.
|
I don't know where I put my Torterra. I have much better ones.
|
I used to never leave my starter out of my team, but my Diamond breaks that rule. Empoleon is put in the box for some wifi battles, for breeding, and for training. I use Rukio the Lucario more. D:
Every other game has my starter forever on my team though. ^^ |
Well yes, I always keep my starter in my party :\
|
Yes, I have torterra with me.
|
I have Infernape in my Platinum party still. It's level 89 almost 90. It also knows Blast Burn.
However, my starter in Diamond (Torterra) got moved over to Platinum. It's at level 80. (I simultaneously trained it with a Gyarados which is now level 81. Torterra knows Frenzy Plant.) |
I always keep my Emploeon with me. He's such a powerful edition to my all water team & he's awsome looking to boot
|
I don't take my starter with me...
sure.. it's 100 but i got my 7 boxes ful of EV trained Pokemon for Duelltower or Wifi fights, so i can't take it with me... it's not as strong as only one of my others.. because it is senseless to have his starter EV trained... |
My starter has to be in my party for right now. I am doing some chaining for a shiny, and I need it to help me beat the pokemon I am chaining for. I have other pokemon that could help, but my starter was with me already so I decided to use it instead of heading back to the PC to get the others.
|
I always keep my starter pokemon with me.
The starters are some of the highest stat pokemon there are. So I don't see the point of dissposing them. Plus I would hate to raise it so far just to take it out of my team. It would feel like a waste to me. |
no
not anymore.xD xD xD xD |
I have it!I love it!Its smashing! Its a torterra.
|
I still have my infernape but its in the box atm cause im training my team for the pokemon league :)
|
lol, i resented my starter (empoleon) but i have kept my charizard forever
|
Sometimes, Only if i verse my friends on Wi-Fi lols
|
i ev trained my turtwig in hp, defense and speed (only by 40) and i reset the game until i got an impish turtwig. its a powerhouse and has a great attack and never......ever dies. its at lvl 58 and i'm about to challenge Byron on Platinum for the first time. I will never part with him lol
|
I would love to keep my Infernape in my Diamond Team but because it isn´t as good as it could be I´m going to replace it with a new Infernape. I also have Empoleon and Torterra that I use a lot but I´m going to replace them as well. XD In Pearl I end up starting with Piplup that has already evolved into Empoleon and I gotta say that it is worth keeping. : DD
|
I always do have my Empoleon on my team. Because i think it's the strongest one. Because you raised it from its starter level up to high level. And it's becoming stronger and stronger than any pokemon of your team. ^^.
~Fairytales.. |
yes, infernape is always with me
|
Well not anymore xD
I now have Lucario + legendary team so my Infernape must rest in PC |
No, my Infernape isn't currently in use
|
When it comes to traveling my Torterra is my friend. In fact I take him practically everywhere. After all he was my first and was responsible for helping me catch at least half the Pokemon I have now. Although we do to battle other people once in a while, my Torterra isn't as active in the competitive setting. Instead, I'll usually take Roserade or Abomisnow.
|
Yes I do, only because my starter pokemon owns and is one of my strongest.
|
I don't normally have my starter in my party just because I haven't trained him all that much since after the Pokemon League.
However, I do use him (infernape) in the battle hall and he does pretty well there Moves: shadow claw, blast burn, thunder punch, and mach punch |
Yes, because if I wished to replace it then I would have to level up a replacement... :/ [is lazy.]
|
I always kept mine, I will when I get Platinum tomorrow, I'm just some sort of sentimental freak when it comes to.. everything.
|
no not in platinum, but i did in diamond when i played through..
|
Torn
I like my starter but to be honest I don't really keep him with me all the time mainly because it's a pain to carry a grass when I have a better grass pokemon and a super powered electric... but I used him in the league and I'll always use my starters for that :P
|
i still have my empoleon but i normally use my legendaries.
|
nope
Can't say I do have my starter! In the older games I used to constantly have my starter pokémon, no matter what it was with me, but in all honesty, diamond pearl and platinum... I tend to replace my starter. Piplup got very quickly replaced with Vaporeon haha. Well actually I liked piplup, but when it ivovled I was like DX!
|
As I am getting a Battle Tower team ready, in Pokémon Pearl I do not have my starter pokémon with me. I would love to, but since some of my Battle Tower pokémon are strong enough to battle pokémon in the grass by themselves, I don't need it. Perhaps if I had my starter for the Battle Tower, I would be able to keep it with me, but since I chose not to it is in the PC. Though it will come back once I reach a certain amount of Battle Points at the Battle Tower.
|
No. There are so many better Pokémon than the starters. I usually don't have any starters in my party, though occasionally I'll have a Charizard, Blaziken, or something. But none of the newer ones.
|
Yeah. I keep my starter in every single game. I'm pretty sentimental, so...
|
I always keep Torterra in my party, even if I don't particularly use him a lot.
He's always there as a reinforcement and friend to the rest of my Pokemon :) |
I said no, but I sort of do... my starter on my most recent save was a Turtwig, and I have a Torterra, but it didn't evolve from it... I specifically bred a better Turtwig for use and traded it over from a friend's DS when I started again.
|
Nope.....I Replaced Piplup For Squirtle.....Just Left My Piplup In The Ranch.....
|
Nope, its in my PC because I already breed and EV trained a better one.
|
i kimda traded my inferape 4 my lv100 black charizard (it was ta best trade i ever made)
but the charizard is always wit me nomader wat |
No, right when I beat the E4 I caught a Pichu. It's now a Lvl. 100 Raichu and I consider it my starter, but officially? No, I don't carry Empoleon with me anymore.
|
Believe it or not, I still do. But the rest of my party changes not very often.
|
Yup my starter is with me all the way:
Emerald: Mudkip Ruby: Torchic Sapphire: Treecko Fire Red: charmander Leaf Green: all three xD Gold:Typhlosion Silver: all 3 Crystal: all 3 My Pokemon Ruby hack: Cyndaquil My Emerald Hack: Chikorita Fire Red hack: Cyndaquil DPPt: Piplup, he's so cute XP |
I do. I even have an Infernape in my competitive lineup :P
|
Of course my team is:
Monferno Staravia Buizel Onix |
i dont have it because i traded it away at the begining for a dratini
|
Uh, i hate the little runts. xD I only like non-starters.
|
I love the starters throughout the main storyline. I keep them in my party at all times. In fact, they are usually at the highest level.
|
well,my platinum and diamond starter was empoleon but I dont use them much,but I do use my ruby starter which was swampert I have it on my team so yeah I pretty much use the starters(my pic is of a swampert so u can see I like swampert ;))
|
it is my believe that u should always have your starter pokemon with u
|
I don't use my empoleon because I want to be original with my team.
|
I use my starter if I'm playing the game; however, I deposit it if I'm battling (wifi and Battle Frontier). This Infernape is not properly EV trained if it has only beat up trash like Bidoof and Stunky, hehe.
|
Of course, I started with it and I leveled it up so much before having my others catch up. Plus it is one of the strongest in your party. I always have my Infernape with me. Plus I stick by the whole first pokemon saying of always sticking with it. I love Infernape, very powerful pokemon.
|
Like many others, I always have my Infernape in my party. I find it special because I started with it, plus I feel guilty if I ever store him anywhere. :P
|
When I'm not at the battle tower, I'll usually keep my Torterra and Empoleon with me. Otherwise, my party is only full of what I need at that moment. But, they are with me a majority of the time.
(Why would I ditch an Empoleon with a $999999 ribbon on it? XD) |
I still have my torterra... I only use him sometimes though..
|
I always keep my starters with me. Something about them prevents me from losing them so I keep them in all my teams.
|
Naaaw, I usually HM slave 'em or just let them rot in a pc box. Not using a starter makes the game a lot funner for me, because you can have a more varied team. Still, the sinnoh starters are my favorite, in general.
*glares at chimchar with murderous thoughts* |
Yes, starters will ALWAYS be in my party. :D
|
Nope, I replaced my Empoleon with a Blastoise because Empoleon is a bit slow for me and his type is just dumb. He is Water/Steel so every time my opponent uses fire on me it deals normal damage which is pretty much ouchy But I must admit my Empoleon is probably the one who carried me all the way to the Elite Four before I replaced him. :(
|
I still have my Empoleon in my party.
|
I have kept my starter in all but one game.
In Diamond I replaced my Piplup as soon as I could with a Buizel, just to see how it all went, but I still felt guilty about putting it in the box xD |
I tend to always keep my starter in my team, and like some others may have said, it's usually higher in level than the others on my team.
|
Competitivly no. Otherwise yes. Just because it's trained well & has moves i like but its not good enough for online battling
|
for my in game team, yep empoleon is always there, but not for my online wifi team, there are bigger and better pokemon than that.
|
No. I currently try out new teams now and then, and then i never have room for my starter. I don't even use any starters for competitive battling.
|
yes..i love my torterra..:)
and it love me :P but i dont use it in in wi-fi battle |
I don't, competitively or just in-game. I ditched my Torterra after the seventh gym.
