you know what? i love all the people here that are putting down Turtwig. well, you know what else? attack wise, that's going to be your best choice. i think Turtwig just looks plain cool. if you're in a bind, it can get you out. i know this from personal experience because i've played a japanese copy of Diamond and Pearl. i don't go based on what i like type wise, i go based on if my Pokémon can get me out of a bind or not. though i may try with both Chimchar and Piplup before i make a solid choice on this. but for now, its turtwig.
