Any of the starter Pokémon are great. Each of the starters have strengths and weaknesses from the other starter Pokémon. The one you desire most would be your answer.

Um. It is really just a matter of preferance. You can really debate which is the best, but that kind of depends what else is in you're group. And in my opinion walls and sweepers and stuff don't matter when just getting through the main plot, just level up you're pokemon to the correct level in each area and you will be fine.

Just pick the one you like best: but really the best wall is either piplup or turtwig.

Great choice. You should own the first Gym Leader, Roark, unless you happen to chose Starly or Staravia (depends if you level it or get it) as your first Pokémon to take the challenge.

Either way, you will do fine. Hope you have a great journey!

I have a shiny Abra. I would give it to you, but I don't have a Friend Code and I don't use Wi-fi much. But if you get Action Replay and get the codes you will be able to get a shiny Abra, or any other shiny Pokémon you desire.

It doesnt have to be a wall.
It depends on what pokemon you like so you can have a variety.
Infernape-Fire Fighting
Empoleon-Water Steel
Torterra-Grass Ground
Each has more than 1 weakness so what one fits you best?

Well I have used all the starters as for favorites I would say Piplup is the winner.... As for the Best I think it's Turtwig... My reason being Turtwig can beat Infernape With one hit from a Earthquake. Providing you can get that hit off. Also it can kill Empoleon With a leaf Storm. Making it able to type match each pokemon.

Are you talking about this? If so I don't much like Starly it can be good but not for long... Well other then that it's a great choice for a start.

Chimchar hands down. When it evolves, it gains the Fire/Fighting status giving it the upper hand even against Empoleon. Of course we all know Fire beats Steel and Grass, so unless for some odd reason Empoleon and Torterra attack first, Infernape will mostly likely win. Chimchar is the best starter in Diamond/Pearl.

Like most people say, it's just a matter of preference...But for me, I would have to choose Turtwig, because it's my favorite and it's great for not only offence, but defense as well...
