I can never bring myself to get rid of my starter Pokémon. I'm too attached to them. I don't know why but I end up feeling really close to it so I feel bad leaving it in the PC.
 
Why of course my dear :] the gameplay wouldnt be the same without my starter. Hmm, but maybe I should try playing without my starter, just for the fun of it xD
 
I don't like any of the starters in Johto, so I traded my Feraligatr away.
 
Yeah, on my Soul Silver I keep my Feraligatr, with my other two favorite starters, Charizard and Torterra.
 
I can't say I always keep my starter because in the last month or two I've been restarting my HeartGold and trading from other games to make my own starting team that I use throughout the whole game. I currently have a mixed team but for my last restart I used all Dragon-types throughout the game.
 
Yes, for two reasons:
1. I can't just stop using it! It's my buddy....
2. Typlosion is the BEST starter you could ask for. Eruption is godly :D.
 
Generally I do. But in HG I traded out my Feraligatr for Vaporeon because it wasn't keeping up with the rest of the team.
 
Yes, because I never got a chance to use the Johto starters before....Never played the original GBC games...
 
I can't remember a time where I didn't use my starter, in any of the games. But both times I've played through HeartGold, I've used my starter as part of my main team. The first time, she was a Feraligatr whom I traded to my Platinum before I restarted my file (I still have her), and this time around I did a Typhlosion solo. So yes, I have used my starters both times in HG/SS, and in every other game for that matter.
 
Once i've beaten the Elite 4, I'll start breeding To make NINJA POKEMON
 
My starter stays in my team no matter what. Unless i need an HM slave, then i replace my feraligatr with an HM slave
 
I rarely remove them.

When I first played through Red, I also didn't train any other Pokémon but my Charmander -> Charizard. First two gyms were a grind-fest. I know I already had a Charizard when I won against Misty.

I even keep the water starter as an HM slave when I do a Monotype Challenge ^^
 
I used to keep my starter Pokemon with me when I was younger, like when I played the Yellow, Silver and Crystal versions, I think Ruby version too, but now in the DS versions (Platinum and SoulSilver) I just want to have different Pokemon in my team, it's getting old to have the same types of Pokemon as a starter to me, so I choose my own starter. (IE an Abra, Eevee and even a Porygon once).
 
I used to but I'm getting tired of it now. I've been playing Pokemon for like 10 years now? It's getting old.

I restarted Pearl and I just beat the second gym with only a Drifloon.
And I restarted my finished Heart Gold game and I'm going to just using a random Pokemon I find.
 
Yes always - it would feel so weird putting it in the PC even for a second, never mind permanently!! :D Luckily there's at least one starter in each Gen that I love, so it's not a problem for me :D
 
I got and used for a while all 3 of the starters but now the only one that i use is my lvl 75 Typhlosion just because he dominates everyone
