Pearl- piplup. It was the first of the two that I played so I got my fave. I usually love the water types. XD

Diamond- chimchar. Only because getting piplup again would be silly.

Platinum- turtwig. Complete set, or something like that. >3<

Pearl : Piplup, Completed Game - Then Started A New With Turtwig - Same Game Now

Platinum : Turtwig - In Middle Of Game ( Is Now Torterra )

Dont get me wrong, I love fire types but a. Chimchar is ugly and b. It took me AGES to beat Oreburghs gym.

In Pearl I picked Piplup purely for the fact that I always pick a water Pokemon first up.

In Platinum I picked Chimchar because I liked its move pool and the fact that there is bugger all fire types available

In Pearl I chose Chimchar, but it's still an Monferno.
In Diamond I chose Piplup.

I don't have Platinum, or, not originally, that is. ;P (On my R4DS)

Thats not possible since My Pokemon Ranch doesnt support Pokemon Platinum in the UK or USA, only Japan/China. Only Diamond And Pearl Support My Pokemon Ranch.

My Uber Slow Torterra From PEARL sits in my Ranch now.. Alog with every single UNOWN (including ! And ? )

I choose Chimchar because it has a good move pool and powerful stats when fully evolved.

Diamond: Turtwig, which was my favorite starter from this gen
Platinum: Piplup, because it made the game harder then a run with Chimchar, also ended up like the Evo set (:

Turtwig, cause that turtle may be slow, but is a powerhouse. In Platinum, of course. Also, any starter you choose is great. Chimchar makes the game much easier, Piplup if you want a challenge, and Turtwig......well, Turtwig is different. In Platinum, as a Grotle it's Bite pawns in Fantina's gym, Wake's no questions asked, Byron when it's Torterra with Earthquake it kill Bastiodon, and Magnemite, and Volkner's.....end of story, especially against Octelliry. That's my reasoning.

I just bought Pokemon Platinum today. :D I chose Piplup, I just hate monkey's and Turtwig didn't really interest me. xD I see people in here are saying it's a challenge with Piplup, oh joy. I don't have Pearl or Diamond.

I was going to pick Turtwig in my Pearl, but i felt like Grass was always too easy, so I picked Piplup cuz penguins are da sheezy. The in Plat I picked Turtwig. I fell in love with him after playin PMD2 with him as my partner. I don't even remember my main character in the game haha, Turtwig was too awsome.

Since I didn't have any idea of what to expect in Platinum when I bought it, including the types of their evos (after not playing Pokemon for a good 8 years at least), I went with my cardinal rule of starter Pokemon; "When in doubt, choose the water type".
