I do. I even have an Infernape in my competitive lineup :P

Dodo111 June 15th, 2009 3:23 AM

Of course my team is:

Monferno
Staravia
Buizel
Onix

pokefansam June 15th, 2009 3:23 AM

i dont have it because i traded it away at the begining for a dratini

Britney's Circus June 15th, 2009 7:24 AM

Uh, i hate the little runts. xD I only like non-starters.

.little monster June 16th, 2009 6:05 AM

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.

Gordonator123 June 16th, 2009 10:55 AM

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 ;))

RUBY8 June 16th, 2009 11:03 AM

it is my believe that u should always have your starter pokemon with u

salmence33 June 16th, 2009 1:48 PM

I don't use my empoleon because I want to be original with my team.

Peccadillo June 16th, 2009 5:20 PM

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.

XxDawnfanxX June 16th, 2009 5:33 PM

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.

Kagura June 16th, 2009 5:50 PM

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

Silhouette June 16th, 2009 7:14 PM

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)

Vyro June 16th, 2009 7:43 PM

I still have my torterra... I only use him sometimes though..

Caelus June 16th, 2009 7:59 PM

I always keep my starters with me. Something about them prevents me from losing them so I keep them in all my teams.

The Bringer! June 16th, 2009 8:18 PM

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*

⋚Raika⋚ June 16th, 2009 8:43 PM

Yes, starters will ALWAYS be in my party. :D

Redline June 16th, 2009 8:54 PM

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. :(

Queen June 16th, 2009 10:42 PM

I still have my Empoleon in my party.

Camisado June 16th, 2009 10:47 PM

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

JP June 17th, 2009 7:35 AM

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.

seeker June 17th, 2009 7:47 AM

Competitivly no. Otherwise yes. Just because it's trained well & has moves i like but its not good enough for online battling

Rakki-neko June 17th, 2009 7:50 AM

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.

The snorlax master June 17th, 2009 9:50 AM

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.

mircoct June 17th, 2009 1:46 PM

yes..i love my torterra..:)
and it love me :P
but i dont use it in in wi-fi battle

Kirbychu June 17th, 2009 1:52 PM

I don't, competitively or just in-game. I ditched my Torterra after the seventh gym.
