    My trusty ol' Infernape took me through the E4, and he still takes the cake as my main sweeper.

    I don't have my D/P/Pt starter on my final team. My Empoleon, as great as he is, just doesn't cut it. He doesn't have a place, I would have him on, if he was a little better. In game he's a beast, but against real people, he's average at most.

    However, I have a Venusaur on it.

    Final team? Is that team which ya have against Elite 4 and Cynthia?
    If yes then yes my Infernape was there

    Your final team is the team you will raise to Lv 100 for competitive battling

    My new team is going to have my LeafGreen and Ruby starters, but not my Platinum starter.

    My Empoleon is useless. :knockedou

    Always to infinity.
    My Empoleon has never left my team since day one. Not even to go into the box!
    Though, every one of my starters has at most, one HM move that I must depend on.
    Such as Empoleon ~ Surf
    The starter is my team leader so it must always be at least five levels ahead of the rest.
    I'm just weird. 0,o

    I used my starter for quite some time even after the E4. Eventualy though I used it for the breeding of stronger pokemon that are in my team now.

    I always have Empoleon on my team, because it is an invaluable tool against the Elite Four. Without Empoleon, I don't think I would be able to complete Platinum.

    I always get rid of my starters in my opinion there lame because they are too overused. I like to have unique teams :) and using starters gives you an advantage, i'd rather be more legit like other trainers in the game who have to catch their pokemon, not obtain rare pokemon in the beginning that gives you the edge. I'd like to have a pokemon game where you choose your starter as a normal pokemon maybe a pidgey or something like that....
