4th Gen Do You Keep Your Starter Pokemon??

[SquirtleGirl]

I think I'm definitely gonna keep my Typhlosion...I'm extremely picky when it comes to fire types but he's easily one of my favourites :]

 

[Oliveon]

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.

 

[GlitchCity]

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

 

[Manaphy.10]

I don't like any of the starters in Johto, so I traded my Feraligatr away.

 

[Porygon Z]

Yeah, on my Soul Silver I keep my Feraligatr, with my other two favorite starters, Charizard and Torterra.

 

[Drekin]

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.

 

[k0n0k0]

I always keep my starter Pokémon. Don't even ask me why but I just... can't replace it.

 

[Huzzah!]

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.

 

[Cooker]

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.

 

[shinyabsol1]

Yes, because I never got a chance to use the Johto starters before....Never played the original GBC games...

 

[pumpkinziggy]

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.

 

[Try4se]

I keep my starter until I beat the story mode, then I start breeding for a new team.

 

[Tom-H]

Once i've beaten the Elite 4, I'll start breeding To make NINJA POKEMON

 

[pokewalker]

I always use them. In HGSS, I even use my Typhlosion (Quil) for Wi-Fi battles and such. And I trained it one week ago to level 100 <3

 

[BonzaiMudkip]

My starter stays in my team no matter what. Unless i need an HM slave, then i replace my feraligatr with an HM slave

 

[Cathar]

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 ^^

 

[Hypno]

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).

 

[Lexxy]

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.

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

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

 

[Babs9642]

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
