Best Starter
Hi I am a noob to pokemon just picked up Pokemon Platinum if you could help answer the poll it would help me
|
Oh I love my Empoleon dearly (Piplup), being half-steel type is really helpful in a lot of situations.
But a lot of people will suggest starting with Chimchar as there aren't many fire-type Pokemon in Sinnoh. |
Okay Hurry I have 20 min till I leave
|
Chimchar, the fire starters are often the best choice in all Pokémon games. (There are so many Water Pokémon, and Grass is more "difficult" to use.
|
Chimchar.
*Belongs to fighting monkeys united* - Nah. Edit: oh, that was a serious answer. Turtwig would make it easy for the first gym, but the grass starter is pain usually. Piplup is quite risky as far as I know, but it is a great sweeper, at least for the offline game. Chimchar (Infernape) is pretty much the only fire starter that is OU, and is a great Pokemon. |
Perhaps not the best, but my personal favorite is Piplup.
|
Turtwig. By the time it's fully evolved, it has an awesome attack and defence stat, and can easily kill the other two starters.
Don't get Piplup. It's insanely weak. Gyarados would make a far superior water type. |
Works like this:
Chimchar's best unless you're gonna get a Flareon or Ponyta Piplup has good resistances when it's Empoleon, however it does get pwnd by two of the elite four (Bertha's Ground moves and Flint's Infernape's CC/Mach Punch andEQ) Turtwig is pretty good against the first and 4/5th (depends which order) gyms, and pwns E4 Bertha. Overall it's probably Chimchar, as it's 3rd Evo can even beat the water starter |
Infernape is OU
the other two are UU Chimchar would be the best choice, but my personal favorite is Turtwig. :P |
Quote:
Yet, I wouldn't choose a "late game sweeper" as my starter for offline purposes. Unless, of course, you think the E4 is your ONLY problem. Plus, there are rarely any fire types in Sinnoh. And if you can start with an OU one, why wouldn't you (talking to the OP now XD) |
Ok thanks for weighing in I have 5-10 more mins then I will decide so far leaning towards tutrwig or chi,char
|
It wasn't necessary to make a whole thread about only this D:
