4th Gen Anyone else have trouble choosing a...

[ShAdowWAlker1]

starter? I for some reason can never choose between this gens starters! i will literaly spend hours or even days tryin to pick one, then after i start the game i stop and restart cuz i dont know if i made the right choice.

Every other gen has been fairly simple for me:
1st = charmander no doubt unless i wanted to try someone else for a change
2nd = totodile pretthy much always, unless again wanted to try the others for a bit
3rd = Torchic or treeko always, rarely mudkip and i still nearly always went treeko
4th = ??????????????? ahhhhhhhhhhhhh i cant choose!!!

so does anyone else have a poke pal road block when it comes to your starter in pearl/diamond/platinum?

i choosed piplup.. but from the choice you made before you could go with chimchar.. piplup is a good choice too for the 1st badge and on..

 

[Ace~Sasaki]

Chimchar will screw u brains out in the first gyms but it is a good choice, all of them are great. Most ppl choose piplup I dont know why though.

 

[MechaTrickster]

I picked chimchar wen I first started diamond, went and caught a abra trained it, and the 1st gym was no prob. After that chimchar owns :D

Upon reaching the final form, Chimchar is probably the coolest looking out of all the three. I'd pick it for that reason alone.

I always choose the Fire starter. Chimchar is great for the first few gyms! Just evolve him and Mach Punch works great on Roark. :p

I chose Piplup once, but I got bored.

I always start with piplup just because he's sooooo cute ^_^

 

[Dark Shade]

Am I the only one who chose Turtwig? I mean come on, Piplups cute, But how can you not choose turtwig when you look into it's small beady eyes?<3

 

[MechaTrickster]

I think all of 4th gen starters are ugly ._.

Chimcar. I'm a fire type trainer. It's who I used like, all the time.

Your not the only one,Turtwig is my favorite 4th gen pokemon (and my favorite starter)
I always pick him <3

 

[Hatenko]

I have to say, Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape is what I believe the second most overused pokemon ever created (besides Lucario). All the grass type starters generally suck by comparison, so I always go with water.

 

[Shiny Shaymin]

Hmm... go with Chimchar. It has a good type advantage.

 

[chaos11011]

Go with Torterra cause its Under-Rated.You will always have fun with Under Rated pokes (and besides the Earth advantage is awesome)

Ha ha, agreed.:) Anyways, Piplup is easily the best starter. Empoleon owns every gym and the E4.

 

[chaos11011]

Sorry to break it to you but out of the 3 Sinnoh Starters Pippy is the worst.

 

[The Roshi]

I think these starters are pretty well balanced in terms of type advantage @ gyms. That might be what makes it so hard to pick. I haven't tried turtwig yet, but I've only done two play-throughs. Next time I restart I'll definitely go turtwig.

Piplup ^^
It can beat both of the other starters later one. Because of Ice Beam x3

Accually all of the starters can do that

Infernape:Close Combat + Fire Move

Torterra:Earthquake (thats all it needs <3)

Empoleon:Ice beam + water move

But Empoleon is the only starter that needs to use a TM.The other 2 can learn it there's naturally

I always go for the one I can relate to more, I picked piplup because I used to watch alot of Pingu when I was little XD
