VOTES
Turtwig = 2
Chimchar = 1
Piplup = 2

I will start it off...

Starting pokemon: Chimchar
Reason: Has the strongest starting offence attack and is one of the only sinnoh fire pokemon.

 

[peabobo's sexy legs]

Starting pokemon: None
Reason: Chimchar is OHKO by everyone, Turtwig is slow as hell, and Piplup is just plain retarded

 

[Angelic Diablo]

Pfft they all have their advantages

Torterra
Pro - Good Physical wall and sweeper.
Con - 4x weakness to ice

Infernape
Pro - Diversity, can be physical, special or mixed
Con - Can take many hits

Empoleon
Pro - Lots of nice resistances, and makes a good special wall/sweeper
Con - Slow, and weak to common attacks (electric, fighting and ground)

Starting pokemon: Chimchar (now Infernape)
Reason: Because I thought since the majority of the new pokemon in Sinnoh Valley were grass and other types - but a fire pokemon was rare, I figured that could work towards my advantage! Now, I'm discovering that Infernape is quite diverse and can learn a lot of different attacks (such as the grass knot) that I never thought possible.
