Which starter did you choose?
 
So what was your starter choice in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and HeartGold/SoulSilver?

Vote for the Sinnoh and Johto starter you chose in the poll provided!

In Sinnoh (Pearl), I chose Chimchar and in Johto (SoulSilver) I picked Cyndaquil. Yes, the only times I ever chose Fire Starters.

I chose Turtwig and Totodile for my current games, I originally chose the fire starters also. I still have my Typhlosion with me today in White, and it's lvl 100 now, the other guy has been long gone since I couldn't get past the rock gym leader with him on my team.

Dave666 December 14th, 2011 7:48 PM

Pearl = Turtwig
Diamond = Chimchar
Platinum = Turwig

I forgot the remakes XD

SS = Totodile
HG = Cyndaquil

I chose Turtwig in Pearl and Cyndaquil in Soul Silver. They both are great Pokémon.

FrostPheonix December 15th, 2011 1:26 AM

Chose Piplup, purely cuz its a penguin, and cyndaquil, because I already had them in Silver.

Piplup and Totodile, I'm a sucker for water types. :(

Mentalii December 15th, 2011 5:07 AM

I always choose the water starters, they are the best for me. It's for this reason that I obviously chose Totodile in Soul Silver.
It's cute, strong, tough, its last evolution is badass, and moreover it's my favourite starter ever since Silver version. So my vote isn't a surprise at all.
However, despite my preference for water starter, I didn't choose Piplup in D/P/P, but Chimchar. I also had a game with Piplup, and I think it's really weak, its last evolution double type is totally uninteresting. So I began a new game and chose Chimchar, and I'm not disappointed, it's more useful that Piplup, even if the little penguin is nicer to my opinion.

Piplup in Diamond since I really liked its design (especially evolved) and Chikorita in HG since I always found her adorable \o/

chella182 December 15th, 2011 5:46 AM

Diamond and Platinum: Chimchar
SoulSilver: Cyndaquil

I do love Fire-types. I got a copy of Pearl the other day though, and I'm thinking of starting with Turtwig on that. Just to mix it up a bit, since I haven't started with a Grass-type since Blue!

In Pokemon Diamond/Pearl and Platinum I chose Piplup. In Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, I picked Totodile. I am a water type starter lover.

Hacker Bisharp December 15th, 2011 6:59 AM

In Pokèmon diamond/pearl/platinum i choose Chimchar
In heart gold and soul silver i picked chikorita

Disko_Rock December 15th, 2011 7:22 AM

In Diamond I picked Piplup cuz it evolves into a part Steel type and in HG I picked Chikorita for bulk

Blaze the Cat December 15th, 2011 7:59 AM

In Heartgold I chose Totodile despite Cyndaquil being one of my faves.
In Platinum I took Turtwig because I hate monkeys and my brother loves Turtwig

Klave December 16th, 2011 2:08 AM

Platinum - Piplup because Empoleon is awesome. :D
SoulSilver - Cyndaquil because Typhlosion is awesome. :D

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ December 16th, 2011 4:41 AM

Piplup in Pearl/Platinum and Cyndaquil in Soul Silver. Cyndaquil's always been my go-to Johto starter Pokemon, and Empoleon is awesome.

Snivy286 December 17th, 2011 8:34 AM

Diamond= Piplup
Pearl= Chimchar
Platinum = Chimchar

HeartGold= Totodile
SoulSilver=Cyndaquil

psyanic December 17th, 2011 9:16 AM

In DPP, I chose Chimchar. I tried using Turtwig and Piplup before, but their final evolutions were just so slow. I hate being slow. So I prefer Chimchar.

HGSS... well in the originals I chose Cyndaquil, so naturally I chose it as well. However, I did a rerun of it and chose Totodile, since I'm in love with Feraligatr. It's worked out well anyway. I still prefer Cyndaquil though.

DarkShadow21 December 17th, 2011 9:42 AM

Fire-types all the way!!! I love my fire pokemon. Not to mention if you know what you're doing and give it the right moves you can beat up any water type too.

Darkrylles December 17th, 2011 11:41 AM

Platinum: Turtwig
SoulSilver: Cyndaquil

Nijiri December 17th, 2011 2:57 PM

In Diamond, I chose Chimchar because before Pokemon B/W came out, I thought that was the only flaming monkey in the whole Pokemon series (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, flaming monkeys are cool.
In HeartGold, I chose Totodile mainly because I didn't really know what to pick at the time - Totodile was the result of my blind pick.

Palamon December 17th, 2011 4:25 PM

In Diamond I chose Turtwig for my love of Grass-types.
In Pearl I chose Chimchar to make the game harder.
In Platinum I chose Piplup. I chose Piplup that I way I had all three starters chosen.

In HeartGold I chose Chickorita because I love Grass-types.
In SoulSilver I chose Totodile because I would never think to choose it.


DarkLordEon December 20th, 2011 9:07 AM

Chimchar in both Diamond and Platinum, infernape is awesome.

Spades Slick December 24th, 2011 7:42 AM

Turtwig, first time I played, I wasn't very sure of what I was doing and just kept pressing "A"
But I don't regret it, Turtwig is awesome,and so is Torterra, I have tried others later too, but I only liked Chimchar and family though

Mr Cat Dog December 24th, 2011 9:31 AM

As much as I like Johto and HGSS, I don't really care for any of the starters. I played chose Cyndaquil and Totodile when playing through Gold version all those years ago (go away Chikorita and come back when you're not a Grass type) but went for Cyndaquil when push came to shove when playing SoulSilver. I figured I was going to get a super-cool-awesome Lapras in Union Cave (which I did) rendering a Feraligatr a less ideal option.

Markichuuuuu December 24th, 2011 9:48 AM

Pokémon Diamond: Piplup; it's adorable! :3
Pokémon Heart Gold: Cyndaquil. Meh, liked it better than the other ones.
