Turtwig. Everyone I knew chose Piplup and my sister wanted Chimchar. It didn't really bother me though. Starters have gone way downhill IMO. My favourites are in this order:
Charmander
Squirtle
Bulbasaur
Mudkip
Cyndaquil
Chikorita
Treecko
Totodile
Turtwig
Piplup
Chimchar
Torchic

I chose Chimchar, basically because he's a Fire-type and extremely powerful when he gets to Infernape. (I wiped out my opponent's whole team just with my Infernape when I was running it solo.)

On Platinum I choose Chimchar. I don't know it was just the one I wanted I guess. Diamond I choose Turtwig.

A turtwig that I traded for a Tropius. There was no other way to get a Tropius in Pearl and it seemed like an interesting Pokemon to use as a starter.
It's still with me and at level 100 now.

Haven't played yet, but I'll go for the fire one. They always do well as starters... :)

Which is because I'm getting Platinum for Christmas... Can't wait!!!

I did the same thing. Except I chose Chimchar on Pearl, because its a fire type and I like fire types. And Turtwig on Platinum. I don't know why I did it.

Diamond/Pearl - Piplup, no reason though. Chimchar doesn't interests me very much and I never use Grass-type starters.
Platinum - Chimchar. Contradicts what I said above, this time using Chimchar interests me.

I chose Chimchar. I choose fire-types.

Piplup. I typically ignore the grass starters and Chimchar's evolutionary line didn't appeal to me appearance-wise (though I will concede Infernape's a monster in combat).

I chose Turtwig for all three (D/P/Pt) because he is so cute!
Though in Pearl, my friend restarted his game,and let us all have the three Sinnoh starters. So I did like using Infernape,but the way Chimchar seemingly copied Charmander...meh...
I've got multiple favorite types for a region,but for this Generation,I only liked Turtwig,and his evolution line.

I picked Turtwig. Chimchar was annoying to look at and Piplup was just mehh...

It was the first time I didn't pick a fire starter. It was saddening. :(

I'm surprised that most trainers voted for Turtwig. It's the only one out of these three that I don't actually like (the looks of it).

Usually I chose Piplup because it is cute and it's final evolution, Empoleon, can wall many things.
But this time I chose Chimchar, urgh.. Didn't even train it until it's final evo. I'm so cruel 0_0

Wish I could start over with a Piplup without loosing all of my pokemon T_T

I chose Piplup, the only time I've actually gotten somewhere in the game.

All the times I've only been playing the start half-heartedly, I've chosen Chimchar. So I wanted a bit of a change :p

I like Chimchar better though. Fight + Fire rocks.

Although I was planning to choose Piplup in my Platinum version, I ended up picking Chimchar instead. o3o I have no clue why, though. Maybe it's 'cause I can identify most with Fire-types. ♥
