When the English version comes out, I might go with Turtwig. I've started with Chimchar too many times and Piplup is just a bad choice in my opinion. I've only played with Turtwig once but Leafeon has always been the staple grass-type in my team for sentimental reasons. *cheesy* :<

Chimchar is the only starter I like from Sinnoh so I will keep picking it but my main pokemon will be Budew again any way.

I used piplup in diamond which worked out great, but I think I'm gonna choose tutwig in platinum. I think I'll just box him and pick out a team to train and use from my diamond.

I'm still going to have the same starter and I'm going to have the same exact team consisting of Empoleon, Staraptor, Luxray and Drifblim =)

I'm gonna stick with Piplup. Infernape is great for competitive battling, but I don't know. Now that I think about it, maybe I will use Chimchar...hm.

I will go with Chimchar. I have a tradition of using the water starter first and then the 2nd game the fire type. I never go with the grass starters.

Yeah, because I don't think grass starters are too good.

I think I'll be starting with Turtwig. I've kinda used Piplup too many times, and I don't really think Chimchar will be a good starter for me. I actually think I'll get my starter, ctach 2 Starlys, than trade the starlys for pilup and chimchar with my friends! (Then they can restart) So I'll have all 3!

Chimchar always. Hardly used the other 2 this time. Chimchar has served me well this time, but I'm sure I won't really focus on any of the starters. Got my new team all lined up already :)

nope, i'm going to choose the same one.
piplup doesn't cut it for me, and i never liked fire types past the second season.
i personally think turtwig is much better and useful overall.

I chose Chimchar for my Japanese Pearl, I chose Chimchar for my English Diamond, and now I just recently chose Chimchar for my Japanese Platinum. I just can't seem to shake the habit of choosing the fire-type starter for every Pokémon game I get in my grubby little paws. Perhaps it's because I know how they work, or even more likely it's because of tradition. Whatever the case, no, I did not choose a different starter for my Japanese Platinum and I probably won't choose Piplup or Turtwig for the English release either...

When the USA version comes out, I'm sticking with Turtwig.

However, it really doesn't matter. If you know what you're doing, you can make any starter work well in your team.
