Do you ever ditch your starters?

Nope, I always keep my starter in my team. I don't remember having ever ditched them.
 
I never used to but in more recent games I've found I have been doing, unless it's the first time playing that game/generation.
 
i ditched my starters on the 2nd gen and the 4th gen. i don't like those ones.
mudkip is my fav
 
In white I ditched snivy, yeah yeah i know in 2 minutes my inbox will be full of death threats but i ditched it because snivy sucked.I didnt really care for the other starters either in gene 5.
 
No, I have never ditched my starter. I always put my Starter in my team. I don't think I could ditch him. I feel like it's almost apart of the story to have him. I get too attached to them to ditch them.
 
Not the first time I get to use them, but after that, sure. I might trade over all and merely evolve them to fill the pokedex, but its waaaay to restrictive to always have one of those types in your team.
I mean there is 15 other types!
I find it boring to see people use their starter and then add pokemon of the other starter types...like its not even that diverse, especially having both a Grass and Water pokemon... why not a Bug, Ghost, Fighting, Ground, Dark, Normal, Rock, Psy..you get the idea.
Probably because the most quality 3 stage designs are starters and a few others.

To be honest, in every Pokemon game, I never ditch my starters at all. I mean, I use the all the time and usually, it's my highest level Pokemon... So, I never ditch my starters...

^That! Exactly!

Never ditches my starter and it's usually my highest leveled one...with the other being one under it. It just doesn't feel right replacing it...plus they're not exactly weak once reaching their final stages.
 
I actually just released my lv 70 blastoise cuz I needed space in my white boxs. I actually released all 150 poke from the unova region too....
 
Gen I, whenever I didn't start with Charizard, I always dropped my starter for another critter. Gen II, I think I kept Typhlosion all the way up to the end, but dropped Feraligatr as soon as I could. Gen III... I honestly can't remember, but Blaziken always looked weird and had a not-great moveset, so I probably ditched it when I could. Gen IV has the best starters out of any game, and I've kept Infernape so far through all of my Platinum playthrough. Mainly 'cause there are a dearth of Fire critters, but it's still the best Fire/Fighting type there is. Gen V: OMG THEY'RE ALL SO BAD! I got rid of Samurott as soon as I could it was that awful. Not Feraligatr awful, but reeeeeeeeally bad.
 
I've never.. not used my starter. :P I't always been central to any team I've had, unless I was doing a monotype challenge that didn't include my starter's type. Admittedly, it would be easy to play through White without my starter, since I don't really like them all that much. Tepig is.. fine, but in general they're all quite poor (especially Serperior, oh lord how I dislike Serperior).

For White 2, I won't be using my starter, though. There are already Pokémon I want who would make it so I had two of the same type in my team, which is a no-no for me. It should be interesting!
 
When I played White 2, I went on GTS Negotiations and gave up my Dewott for a Riolu, even after the grinding I did. But eventually I was able to get all three Unova starters.
 
I usually do now - I don't with Treecko and I didn't with Snivy on Black but I probably will when I get White 2.
 
I have yet to put my starters down to a box and forget it in favor of a stronger Pokemon. I always use my starters to the fullest because they're always great.
