Which starter did you choose?
 
As the title says can't get no simpler.

I my self started with a Turtwig and later on got Chimchar and Piplup

I started with a Turtwig.

Aether★ August 27th, 2010 12:03 AM

I started with Chimchar. Ended the game with Infernape in 57 Lv. Later I had chosen Chimchar again, evolved him to Monferno and used him as HM slave.

Trace1992 August 27th, 2010 3:45 PM

Started with Piplup and later on got Infernape

TheBestOne August 27th, 2010 3:46 PM

Started with Piplup

I think I made the right choice :)

Dakotah August 27th, 2010 3:47 PM

I started with Piplup. I always start with a water type.

Linkdude231 August 27th, 2010 4:05 PM

i chose chimchar every time!

Surmonter August 27th, 2010 4:06 PM

I chose Piplup. I usually just shut my eyes and hit the arrow keys at random for about a minute then pick the one I land on. I like all the starters of this region equally.

Diamond: all 3 starters (in separate playthroughs of course; current is Turtwig)
Pearl: Chimchar
Platinum: Piplup (first game, lost), Turtwig (current game)

Tutwig now Lv42.torterra Love it

Melinda August 28th, 2010 2:57 AM

Piplup! :]<3 I mostly choose Piplup every time I restart my Pokemon Pearl. When Piplup gets boring I pick Chimchar.

JackGamer August 28th, 2010 4:01 AM

Turtwig.
I wasn't overly keen on the starters in this gen. I kinda wish I'd chose Piplup, though. Ahh well.

redsaber5859 August 28th, 2010 4:16 AM

Piplup, water types FTW!

I always chose water from then on-imagine my surprise at Falkner in Crystal when I didn't pwn him!

Amore August 28th, 2010 4:21 AM

Piplup on my very first playthrough of both games.

I've used them all, but this time round in Diamond, I chose Chimchar due to lack of good fire/fighting-types, then got a Piplup egg because I couldn't find a decent natured Buizel and traded mine away for a Chatot in-game.

On Platinum, I tend to be swayed towards Turtwig, mainly as Magmortar, Gallade, Houndoom among others are available due to the expansion

Faline August 28th, 2010 4:28 AM

Ever since the artworks were released. Piplup got me. Isn't it lovely? xD;

Darksun August 28th, 2010 5:47 AM

Empoleon is my favorite starter evo, so I chose Piplup.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ August 28th, 2010 6:46 AM

I started with Piplup. He's now a Lv100 Empoleon named Richter :P

Medos August 28th, 2010 9:02 AM

I normally as a habit pick the Water Starter. In this case, I followed that habit, however the next playthrough I picked Chimchar. Due to a lack of fire pokemon to begin with... Then third playthrough I picked Turtwig, and on my fourth and final play, I used Turtwig again as he had my favourite final evolution... I don't know why, I just felt I liked his the best.

~Nefi the Fable~ August 28th, 2010 9:08 AM

I picked Chimchar the first time I played. It ended up a big mistake, so I ended up trading it on the GTS for a Piplup after I had already evolved it twice. xD

Phantasmagoria August 28th, 2010 9:15 AM

During my first playthrough that I got bored of, I chose Chimchar. However, for reason just said, I simply traded all the Pokemon I wanted to keep to my Brother, and then restarted my Pearl. I chose Turtwig, whom I absolutely adore, and there we go. Now it's a wonderful Torterra named Tiny for the lulz.

xPsychosocial August 28th, 2010 9:20 AM

I chose Chimchar, I preferred it's design. I got the other two later in the game though.

MuffinPaula August 28th, 2010 11:03 AM

I started with Turtwig,Piplup then Chimchar

Red Mustang August 28th, 2010 1:45 PM

I've used all three and had the most success with Piplup(:

Empoleon's Steel/Water typing is simply epic.


Agent Clank August 28th, 2010 2:26 PM

I picked Piplup.
He was so cute and cool,thats why I picked him.

Eliah August 29th, 2010 3:39 PM

I chose Chimchar. I'm very fond of him. =]
