in my offline-team (not wifi-team) infernape will always have an place there.. i have made up my mind that i will take in future torterra and empoleon in my team ^^ the 4th pokemon will be crobat (especially for flying), bibarel (best vm-slave alive =D) and garchomp (because its one of my favourite pokemon)
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.
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.
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.
