Chimchar was a great choice for myself in Diamond, but I've never started with a grass before. Other than Diamond, I always chose the water.

Turtwig seems good. But that's if I'm able to get the game, and if I really want it.

Unless there is a different Fire type before the Elite four besides Ponyta, Chimchar is mine.

I chose Turtwig in my Diamond version, but I'm planning on picking Piplup in Platinum. Normally, I try to have completely different Pokemon on my teams between versions.

I picked Chimchar in my pearl(Japanese) and English version, and I picked Chimchar for my Platinum version. I don't know why, but I used to hate chimchar, now it's one of my favorite pokemon.

Yes. Turtwig sucked. I hated having him in my party. I've always been partial to fire starters (I've used Charmander as long as I can remember) and I think I'll continue that trend in Platinum. Grass sucks.

In Diamond I started with Piplup (both times I started), but I usually start with a Grass type in the beginning. I think, though, for a change, when Platinum (eventually) comes to the UK, I'll start with Turtwig to force me to rethink my team - I get kinda set in my 'formula' and sometimes have to shake things up to get out of it.

I started with Piplup on my Pearl game, and loved it, but I'm thinking of picking something different if I do end up getting Platinum. Chimchar would get through the gyms easily, but I've picked the fire starters in all the past games. I'll have to decide whether to get the game and give it some thought then.

Maybe, if anything it's between Piplup or Turtwig, they're my faves! =D any who, I'm leaning toward Piplup this time 'cause I got Turtwig for Diamond

I'm going with Turtwig this time around.

Anyway I'm not really that sure until the time comes where I pick which one

In Pearl I used Piplup but now this time I think I will switch to Chimchar because I love fire type Pokemon almost the best,but grass comes second always,and of course water the third.

I'm gonna go with Turtwig, chose Piplup in Pearl (got pearl cause I liked the idea of Mismagius better than Honchkrow) and that turned out well. Never been a fan of monkeys, and I've never chosen a fire starter. I always seem to alternate between grass and water, and not even consciously, I only noticed it when I chose Piplup. Bulbasaur in RBY, Totodile in GSC, Treecko in RSE and now Piplup in DPP. I figure I might as well stand up to tradition and choose Turtwig. XD

In my Diamond, I started with Piplup, so I'll probably start with either Chimchar or Turtwig, this time. However, given that there is a greater number of Fire types, this time around, (since the Platinum Sinnoh Dex has 210, instead of 150) I will likely go with Turtwig. Granted, I actually have the three Starters on my Diamond, so it wouldn't really matter, either way. XD

But for a change in pace, I might go for Turtwig, since I'd rather have the versitility in Water and Fire types.

Probably not. Chimchar's the one I chose in my Pearl game, and is the only starter I actually like in that region... Though, Turtwig's final evolution intrigues me. So, perhaps... I'll make that decision when I'm actually possessing a copy of Platinum.

In Pearl, I went with Piplup, but in Platinum I'm going to go with Torterra so I can dominate with Earthquake without wasting the TM. (Which is reserved for a Gyarados, obviously. =3)

I'm gonna pick Turtwig, like I did in Diamond. Torterra's actually quite the wall if you EV him properly ^__^

I think Turtwig is the cutest starter, but his 3rd evolution is slow and kinda ugly looking. He doesn't stay cute for long xD

Anyway, I think I might just pick Piplup this time since last time I chose Turtwig.

Yes and it will be Turtwig, because I have never had a grass type starter! I mostly choose Piplup in Pokemon Pearl and Torchic in Sapphire...and last Charmander in Pokemon Leaf Green.

I chose Chose Chimchar just as I did in both Diampond and Pearl because I hate the other two types and they are ugly to me. Chimchar is just cute!^.^ Its not helping me beat Fatina though!

Always Grass for me, sometimes I branch out but not in this case... I find Piplup and Chimchar to be quite ugly.

I'll still be using Piplup, as it's the most awesome starter to ever be created. *ever*
