So what was your starter choice in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and HeartGold/SoulSilver?

Vote for the Sinnoh and Johto starter you chose in the poll provided!

In Sinnoh (Pearl), I chose Chimchar and in Johto (SoulSilver) I picked Cyndaquil. Yes, the only times I ever chose Fire Starters.

I chose Turtwig and Totodile for my current games, I originally chose the fire starters also. I still have my Typhlosion with me today in White, and it's lvl 100 now, the other guy has been long gone since I couldn't get past the rock gym leader with him on my team.

I always choose the water starters, they are the best for me. It's for this reason that I obviously chose Totodile in Soul Silver.
It's cute, strong, tough, its last evolution is badass, and moreover it's my favourite starter ever since Silver version. So my vote isn't a surprise at all.
However, despite my preference for water starter, I didn't choose Piplup in D/P/P, but Chimchar. I also had a game with Piplup, and I think it's really weak, its last evolution double type is totally uninteresting. So I began a new game and chose Chimchar, and I'm not disappointed, it's more useful that Piplup, even if the little penguin is nicer to my opinion.

Piplup in Diamond since I really liked its design (especially evolved) and Chikorita in HG since I always found her adorable \o/

I do love Fire-types. I got a copy of Pearl the other day though, and I'm thinking of starting with Turtwig on that. Just to mix it up a bit, since I haven't started with a Grass-type since Blue!

In Pokemon Diamond/Pearl and Platinum I chose Piplup. In Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, I picked Totodile. I am a water type starter lover.

Piplup in Pearl/Platinum and Cyndaquil in Soul Silver. Cyndaquil's always been my go-to Johto starter Pokemon, and Empoleon is awesome.

In DPP, I chose Chimchar. I tried using Turtwig and Piplup before, but their final evolutions were just so slow. I hate being slow. So I prefer Chimchar.

HGSS... well in the originals I chose Cyndaquil, so naturally I chose it as well. However, I did a rerun of it and chose Totodile, since I'm in love with Feraligatr. It's worked out well anyway. I still prefer Cyndaquil though.

Fire-types all the way!!! I love my fire pokemon. Not to mention if you know what you're doing and give it the right moves you can beat up any water type too.

In Diamond, I chose Chimchar because before Pokemon B/W came out, I thought that was the only flaming monkey in the whole Pokemon series (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, flaming monkeys are cool.
In HeartGold, I chose Totodile mainly because I didn't really know what to pick at the time - Totodile was the result of my blind pick.

Naive nature. Very finicky. Tends to steal Captain Obvious' job shifts, apologize, and use different translations of the word "thank you". Excuses, excuses, these bad traits show pretty well - but I don't bite with a grip of a crab.

In Diamond I chose Turtwig for my love of Grass-types.
In Pearl I chose Chimchar to make the game harder.
In Platinum I chose Piplup. I chose Piplup that I way I had all three starters chosen.

In HeartGold I chose Chickorita because I love Grass-types.
In SoulSilver I chose Totodile because I would never think to choose it.

Turtwig, first time I played, I wasn't very sure of what I was doing and just kept pressing "A"
But I don't regret it, Turtwig is awesome,and so is Torterra, I have tried others later too, but I only liked Chimchar and family though

As much as I like Johto and HGSS, I don't really care for any of the starters. I played chose Cyndaquil and Totodile when playing through Gold version all those years ago (go away Chikorita and come back when you're not a Grass type) but went for Cyndaquil when push came to shove when playing SoulSilver. I figured I was going to get a super-cool-awesome Lapras in Union Cave (which I did) rendering a Feraligatr a less ideal option.
