Well, I picked Chimchar in Diamond and Piplup in Pearl, so I guess I'll be fair and give Turtwig a shot. If that doesn't work out though, I'll restart and pick Chimchar. He was definitely a better choice than Piplup. At least, he was for me.

Well, I haven't really tried Chimchar but once and the rest of my team was so poorly done on Pearl that I was blaming Chimchar for sucking.

I like Infernape's Platinum sprite, so I'll choose Chimchar. And it's my favorite starter from the three.

I think I´ll choose Piplup since I took Chimchar in Diamond and I don´t like Turtwig. It just looks strange and doesn´t really look cooler later on....

Alright, for avatar wise, I'll choose Chimchar as a starter because the Infernape avatar looks cool but for battle wise, I'll stick with Piplup in the beginning.

Well, in Diamond I picked Chimchar, so for Platinum I'm not too sure. I'll probably go with Turtwig.

I went by color and did Piplup=Diamond Chimchar=Pearl so I'll just use Turtwig in Platinum.

I chose Turtwig in both Diamond and Pearl, so I'm going with Chimchar in Platinum.

In my Diamond I chose Chimchar as my starter and she became the powerhouse in my team. I later, after beating Roark, traded Piplup and Turtwig into my Diamond but still Infernape is the strongest pokémon of those three. ^^ In my Pearl, that I got last week, I decided to give a try and started out with Piplup and even tough she is strong she isn´t as good as my Chimchar was. xD So I guess I´ll be starting Platinum with Turtwig and trade both Chimchar and Piplup into it. : D I´m just so bored as in Finland we have no clue when Platinum is going to be released. I hope that soon because I´m eager to see those new sprites and to get beat Cynthia again and again. ^^

For a matter of facility of use and personal tastes, I have chosen Piplup and therefore I vote Piplup.

I'm probably going to choose Piplup again. It's my favorite water starter.

I always pick Chimchar as my starter in the fourth generation games.

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm actually going to pick Turtwig as my starter in Platinum. Why? Because my favorite fourth generation starter is Chimchar and my least favorite is Piplup. Now why am I not going to pick Chimchar like I said I would? Because I'm planning on trading all my Pokemon from Diamond to Platinum, and I don't think I really need 2 Infernapes. The reason I said Chimchar at first was because I never thought about trading because I don't know how to, but I'm trying to find information now.

I chose Turtwig in Pearl, Chimchar in Diamond... so as much as I dislike Piplup, he's the one I'm gonna choose.

I'm planning on starting with Piplup, and will likely trade over a Chimchar. I really have never really liked Turtwig. It just creeps me out. :[
