I usually choose either the fire or water pokemon. The grass pokemon doesn't appeal as much because it learns status changing moves more than anything and I prefer to attack.

Right now I'm leaning towards Piplup, but who knows?? I'm not choosing Chimchar because that is who I used for Diamond.

I've changed my mind and I'm going with Chimchar instead of Turtwig.

Piplup because I chose Turtwig in Diamond and Chimchar in pearl that way I have chosen different starters in all 3 games.

I've rotated through the 3 starters in previous files on D/P, so I may choose Chimchar and exchange it for something else when I receive the pokedex.

I picked Turtwig for Pearl and JP Platinum, so I will probably pick Turtwig again and then send eggs of the other two starters over.

Piplup! ^-^
Because of course, my opponent will choose Turtwig and I can defeat him with flying moves. : D
And he's the cutest starter for the handheld games, IMO.

Piplup, because he's the only starter I've haven't chosen yet.

Cheers!

I don't really know, I don't really like Chimchar, and I chose Piplup for a playthrough I'm doing of Diamond this week cause I'm bored, so I guess I'll go with Turtwig like I did for my original Pearl version!

Piplup, since it's the only one I haven't started with yet. I think a Piplup would suit Platinum better anyways.

Ahem, Magmar, Flareon or Houndoom anyone?

I'm gonna use Piplup. He's my favorite.

I picked Piplup in Pearl so I'm probably going to go with Turtwig in Platinum unless my friend goes with him, then I'd go with Chimchar in that case.

Im going with Piplup. I got Turtwig in Pearl and then Chimchar in Diamond. I think it's got a decent moveset as well so I can teach it a water, steel, flying and ice move.

Heh. I intend to start the game, get one of the starters and trade it over to Diamond before restarting. Then I'll repeat the process. And then I'll just trade them both over =3 I'll box all three, really, because I'm also trading over my eeveelutions to use.

I'm going to go with Chimchar because I've played through the story with both Piplup and Turtwig before.

I'm going with Piplup. I'm used to using Piplup, plus Empoleon is part Steel, giving him eleven resistances and one immunity! Who doesn't want a Pokémon like that? Also, it can learn Flying-type moves, giving it an advantage over its rival starter. Piplup seems to appeal to me more.
