whats your facorite starter chimchar turtwig or piplup?
 
For me Chimchar you can tell by my name. anyway fire monkey is a good combination

linkinpark187 July 28th, 2007 4:16 PM

you're going to make some Mods angry...there's so many threads like this one. but i find Turtwig to be my favorite.

empoleonrules July 28th, 2007 4:52 PM

heck with you all!Piplup is the best!(I am a water trainer mostly but add various types too)

Eleventyseventy July 28th, 2007 5:04 PM

I'd have to say Piplup even though I chose Chimchar, I now regret it lol

Destani July 28th, 2007 5:28 PM

Piplup. I do more water/ice training, so maybe I'm biased.

Random July 28th, 2007 5:28 PM

i rather choose twitwig, cause it when it evolves into torterra its a grass-ground type, good against fire, and water-steel types *cough*other starters*cough*

Cornicapus July 28th, 2007 5:50 PM

Piplup, because Empoleon has good attack and has a nice type matchup.

sims796 July 28th, 2007 5:56 PM

Fools! Turtwig, it so laid back

PipeMan July 28th, 2007 6:47 PM

Turtwig/Naetoru is the starter for me :D.

Susanoo July 28th, 2007 7:57 PM

I'm unsure if these are allowed, they seem cliche, but whatever, I'm new, so I wouldn't know. I like Chimchar mainly for Infernape and the fact that I love monkeys. I like Piplup mainly for Prinplup and the fact that I love penguins. And I like Turtwig for Grotle and the fact that in Diamond and/or Pearl, if you choose Turtwig, the rival chooses Chimchar, and Dawn chooses Piplup, so it's a balance.


Me: Dusk
Rival: Vincent
Rowan's Assistant: Dawn


Turtwig: Turtwig (Dusk) , Chimchar (Vincent) , Piplup (Dawn)

Piplup: Piplup (Dusk) , Turtwig (Vincent) , Piplup (Dawn)

Chimchar: Chimchar (Dusk) , Piplup (Vincent) , Piplup (Dawn)


Plus, choosing Turtwig follows the story. The hero has Turtwig (Ash), Dawn has a Piplup, and the rival has a Chimchar (Paul).




So I'd say Turtwig.

Waffle-San July 28th, 2007 9:23 PM

i like water best, but I chose Chimchar because, well come on fire monkey, but for once I'm going to say the grass starter, theres just something about Torterra.

bxela1 July 28th, 2007 9:56 PM

Turtwig because Torterra is ground and grass which negates fire and ice moves. 2nd would be piplup because it's cute.

Craig² July 28th, 2007 10:20 PM

*sigh* Sooo many threads like this one....

Turtwig/Torterra because that starter defys any reason to believe that grass Pokemon are naturally weak. It has much diversity and a vast movepool. It can counter Infernape pretty well with EQ. Just saying, but he rocks <33

My Torterra is a fabulous addition to one of my 'most-used' teams and never dissapoints meh. <3

BTW: Grass Pokemon = <3

Smarties-chan July 29th, 2007 1:08 AM

I'm usually not too fond of Fire starters, (Charizard, Typhlosion and Blaziken are all my least favorite fully evolved starters from their respective generations) but Infernape is a freakin' kung-fu monkey and monkey Pokémon are just pwnsome in general so Chimchar for me. <3 Besides, Infernape is by far the most versatile Sinnoh starter in battle and probably the best Skarmbliss counter in the game. Next would be Turtwig (that I fell in love with the moment I saw it; it took me a while to get a liking to Chimchar) and last Piplup. I'm not a big fan of Empoleon and Piplup was a failed attempt at making a disgustingly cute Pokémon. The only reason I like Piplup at all is that it's a penguin.

Trainer Gabriel July 29th, 2007 1:49 AM

Chimchar FTW!~ Accept no substitutions.

Thorn July 29th, 2007 2:53 AM

i think all the starters this time where a let down realy

Whit3 B. July 29th, 2007 3:35 AM

:t249:I think that piplup is the best. Water pokemon RULE!!!

If you mean that you can teach Torterra a counter super effective move then yes it can give you some advantantge. But the pokemon does not Negate fire it still does 2x damage. As for Ice Moves if the pokemon is ice type then its 4x(Move)*STAB Bonus + Attack or Special Attack Divided by some number + Item Bonus + offensive ability bonus or offensive ability. Examples of Ice offensive ability bonuses are Hustle,Snow Warning powering Ice moves farther, So just knowing that an Ice type can 4x(Move)* Stab Bonus is alot already meaning, it does not negate it.
This is just an estimate I do not have the real formula but you get the idea the + is in addition to might or might not be multiplyed/divided.

Yea I like Piplup in Diamond Pearl series, Treeco in R,S,E, Cyndaquil in G,S,C and Squirtle in FR,LG.

Ryu Hoshi July 29th, 2007 9:05 AM

Well im gonna go with Chimchar.not because I have a Explanation of why hes better then the other 2 but because the topic says who's your favorite not whos better

Ruisu July 29th, 2007 9:15 AM

Turtwig all the way for me ^_^

Exeter July 29th, 2007 10:32 AM

Piplup for me, mainly because it's a water type. (Spirtile in FR,LG, Totodile in G/S/C, Mudkip in S/R/E). I will normally choose water-type starters.

elvemage1 July 29th, 2007 11:12 AM

even though i like piplup i always chose ............ CHIMCHAR

Piplup Master July 29th, 2007 11:43 AM

rishi 20 July 29th, 2007 12:03 PM
