  • I really liked Chimchar; I found it very easy to balance with my favourite Pokemon upon playing the 4th Gen games!

  • Chimchar's cute in its first form, but I never cared much about the evolutions. And while Torterra's concept of a turtle with an ecosystem on its back is awesome, I never got too attached to it either. Piplup on the other hand was really fun to play with! Water + ice + steel moves made it really great to use.

    Eventually I'll try Turtwig again..... @_@

  • Chimchar, honestly. I was never a fan of Piplup, and Turtwig is pretty slow, has a disadvantage to both Empoleon and Infernape somehow (because Ground is neutral to Water and whatnot.)

    I like Pochama/Piplup the most since it looks cute in its base stage, and evolves into one of my favorite Gen IV Pokemon. I really dislike Pottaishi/Prinplup, though. It's so bizarre and hideous to look at.

    After many years, I've finally decided that the Piplup line is my favourite Gen 4 starter. I like penguins, I like Water types, I like special attackers, and I like Empoleon's typing. Furthermore, I've used an Empoleon in Pokemon Renegade Platinum, and it was fantastic.

    I genuinely love all of them! I think generation 4 has some of the strongest starters in terms of design. Overall, I'd say Infernape is my favourite. It looks so cool, I love its cry as well as its typing. Empoleon is elegant and Torterra is fierce, all are excellent in my opinion.

  • Yeah I gotta agree with everyone else, Gen 4 is one of the very few generations with a whole set of starters that I love, making it a really hard choice! That being said, I've gotta go with Chimchar, I love its whole evolutionary line and Infernape just beats Empoleon for me. Poor old Turtwig coming in last, he's still great though :)
