best starter Pokemon
i just bought diamond but i don't know what starter Pokemon to pick. i know that this topic has probably already brought up. thanks for the help
|
I'd say torterra (even though I have infernape). It's type and high stats (except speed) rock!
|
Well, I Chose ChimChar when I got diamond. I guess it depends on what type you like. Ill fill you in on their types though.
Chimchar-Fire Monferno-Fight,Fire Infernape-Fight,Fire Piplup-Water Prinplup-Steel,Water Empoleon-Steel,Water Turtwig-Grass Grotle-Ground,Grass Torterra-Ground,Grass |
get mewtwo... hes the best starter of all... jk... id go w/ torterra and breed to get the best move ever... SEED BOMB... thats wat i did
|
Empoleon makes an incredible wall, with 11 elemental resistances. Infernape makes a good sweeper, with equal attack and special attack, as well as great speed, and Torterra makes a good physical-oriented Pokemon in both attack and defense. One Ice Beam will kill it though. :P
So my vote is Piplup. |

I say Torterra is the best because it learns Earthquake which can OHKO both Empoleon and Infernape since it is super effective against both of them.
I also think he looks much cooler. |
So? Empoleon learns Ice Beam to kill Torterra, Hydro Pump to kill Infernape, who learns Close Combat to beat Empoleon and Flamethrower to beat Torterra. They can all kill each other.
|
I've only had a playthrough with Chimchar and Turtwig so far(currently playing through with Piplup(now Prinplup.), but I'd have to say I like Turtwig so far. It has very thick defense and a nice attack also. Plus, Torterra is a force to be reckoned with, when it has Earthquake on it.
|
Doesn't matter if it's too slow to use it before it gets OHKO'd by one good Ice Beam.
|
lol, I know that. It would probably get destroyed with a quick, strong poke capable of Ice Beam in competitive battling. But I'm talking about as far as the main game goes.
|
i am going to start a poll cause everybody likes something else but they all look so good jms has given me the most definent answer but every body go post in it plz and thankyou
|
wait how do you make a poll lol =}
|
I think you need to start a new thread, then before you post it you check the option to add a poll..I think lol.
|
Well.. I've played with them all. I go with Torterra because if you have some cash just by sine Carbos's for it. It's power IS a force to be reckoned with.
Kota-- |
its alright i figured it all out so poll is up and i am looking for the best starter pokemon before i start playing plz vote and thank you for your honesty =}
|
well i chose pliplup cause at the beginning he is by far the coolest...yet he then loks really really bad...turtwig is far stronger and cooler
|
i say piplups the best as it looks like a penguin
|
No one screws with a huge, metal emperor penguin with a trident for a face. :D
|
No ones screws with a giant turtle with a tree on its back along with spikes.
|
lets just say "not very effective" when it comes to hurting empoleon ;)
|
i went with turtwig for my first one but when i buy pearl i ll do piplup cause he looks really cool =} thnx everybody
|
I like the water types. Has good advantage in the begining and doesnt have 4x weakness.
|
Toterea all the way, man. I mean, IT HAS A F***ING TREE GROWING ON ITS BACK. It doesn't get much brutaller than that. And good stats.
|
In terms of the metagame, it's not even a contest... Infernape wins in power within a landslide. Torterra's extreme weakness to ice is just horrible (and the only thing that is preventing Torterra from being an exceptionally powerful tank...) Empoleon's stats just do not match what its movepool reflects at all.
