The title says all.

I currently have my Torterra in my party, but it's only because I haven't found any better Pokémon yet.

I do have my starter Pokemon in my team and always will because it's pretty much the dominating heavy attacker, which is Torterra. I love it when he's on my team, when he's on there, it makes me cry. Nah, just kidding.

I do, mainly because I'm doing a water monotype challenge, and Empoleon's pretty useful. But even when I'm playing through for fun, I will use my starter.

I still have my starter in my party because it's not that weak. Also I don't have any outstanding pokemon right now that should make my starter go in the PC. My starter is at very good use as well. It mostly helps me EV train very weak pokemon, so I don't really have a reason not for it to be in my party.

I have my Torterra in my party on Diamond, but I didn't use my Chimchar at all in Platinum. He's probably in a box somehwere.

Erm Yes? Why wouldn't it be. I mean, my starter Pokemon is probably the strongest in my team.

When i got the game a while ago, i didn't know that you couldn't use the PC well trading, so i had to give up my Empoleon for a giveaway :( So no, i don't have it anymore.

Actually, I do. I've used my Empoleon in a lot of WiFi battles, since it had the perfect Nature, and I redid it's EVs.

In Platinum, I do since I still haven't gone around to building a competitive team and I still need it to get around some places I haven't explored. In Diamond, I have long abandoned my starter.

I have in all three of my games; the only time my starter (2 Empoleon 1 Torterra) go away is for breeding sprees or trading huge numbers of pokémon. My party would feel empty without a starter.

Of course I do and I usually have them be on a higher lvl then the others. Idk y it's just an impulse that my first pokemon should be a leader for the rest of the team but only by 3-5 lvl
