Hello you!

1- I've picked Piplup, since I like water-types Pkmn. All the 3 starters of the 4th gen seem to be a little more strong than the others. It's up to you to choose.

2- I've chosen the female character, 'cause I didnt like the male one.

3- I can't understand what do you mean. Please be more clear ^_^

Wish I helped you.

Bye!

1. Piplup, by far.

2. Female, in my mind. The male one looks kinda fruity.

3. Strategy is better overall than pure power.

1. I choose Turtwig the first time . . . and he is great, then okay, then great again when he evolves to Torterra, and then he blows at the E4. It ended up being the weakest member of my team.
I choose Chimcar the second time through . . . and he rocked hard core. Bottom Line, this is a great starter to build a team around.
I have not used Puplup so no idea.

2. I had a male Chimcar and it worked out for me. I had a female Turtwig and that also went well.

3. I would have to say brains, but in some instances brawn in necessary.

1. What Starter should I Choose?

-Turtwig is a good defensive Poke, while Piplup is good in Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense. Chimchar is good in Attack, Sp. Attack and Speed.

2. Should I choose male or female?

-Female, the male character's hat looks stupid.

3. Best way of beating the game brains or brawn

-Both, get a strong team of Pokemon, while maintaining to keep not only strong attacking moves, but smart moves on them also.

i got torterra, becuase its a serious powerhouse with advantages agaisnt most of the gyms, but take heed once you get to snowpoint, it can be a nightmare for it. its better to go throught the game with power.

Go with the Pokemon that you think you'd get along with, or you think is cute, or you can imagine being with in real life. And use brains. Just going all Gung-Ho in battle will be sure you lose. Take advantage of weakness and resistance

Of course,i have beaten the Elite Four on three games with one pokemon that has only attack moves.Both fire.Feel free to do what you want.(My vote is Chimchar since I beat the E4 with only him.)

1. Well, I chose Turtwig, it was very good, even in E4. It KO'd Cynthia's Lucario, and beat her Garchomp.
2. The best is choosing the same gender as you
3. Sorry, I didn't understand.

1. I used turtwig my first time around, but I found him lacking in the style of play I like to do. Then I tried Pinlup, who isnt bad but saw little action during my Elite four run and afterwords.

2. I choose the female cause I cant stand the hat the guy wears..... sheesh, fashion disaster. (Even thu I don't care about fashion much, you would NEVER se me in a hat like that, game or no game)

3. Depends, brawns all you need going against the computer, but other players will murder you in PvP battles. I always kick butt in the game battles with all attack moves. When it comes to computer controlled pokemon, I find it alot faster and easier to just attack using support moves rarely. When you come around to PvP thu, it's a whole new story.

Chimchar murders almost everything once he's Infernape, so choose him.

1. its really gotta be chimcharr or piplup. and it completely depends on your style of play. but you'll only get that after your first round of sinnoh. so i'd go with piplup or turtwig (to cruise you through the game) as your starter and trade later on for a pilup or chimcharr. If your into competitive battling that is.
2.i choose male, but i have the same thoughts on that stupid hat he wears, i think nintendo were trying to turn our latest trainer into justin timberlake.
3.same as before, brawn beats game, brain beats brawn in competitive.

as for me i blindly wondered through the game with my piplup and then after obtaining GTS and the national dex i looked into wifi play and im still enjoying trying to put together a team that will battle well and i personaally like

That would be using brawn, not brains. and how could your chimchar not evolve before you get there?

Pick turtiwg cause he pwned all of the rest with EQ and if u pick chimchar one of the E4 members has a infernape.
i pick male cause it does not matter who u pick to me but if u like to pretend u are him then thats your problem.
and ibeat the whole game with a lvl 75 torterra and a lvl 67 golem and a lvl 5 bidoof.

This is the situation I pose to all male players who are actually deciding between the characters because they don't like the frigging beret: Would you IRL rather put on a red beret, or have a sex change? Think about that for a while, shallow cross-players.

Brains or brawn? What kind of question is that? You can have both in this game. One leads to the other. <.<;;

1. Chimchar. He evolves at lv14 and learns Mach Punch.
2. Choose Depending on your real life Gender:
Female if you are Male
Male if you are Female
or
Male if you are Male
Female if you are Female.
3. Brains all the way. Type is everything in the world of POKEMONS!
