I chose Chimchar, mostly cuz the only Fire-Type Pokemon you can get close to the beginning of the game is Ponyta, and I really don't want one, so I got my Chimchar. Still waiting to get Turtwig and Piplup from someone.
I just started the game a few minutes ago. I got both versions, so, I did the all-three-starters trick. So, really, I'm going through the game with all three starters. I'm probably going to whizz through it.
If I had to pick, I'd choose Turtwig. The fact about how cute it is, and when it's Torterra it'll just crush everything in it's path... Trust me, I saw my sister's Torterra. It was not IV trained, either.
I normally go for the Water type, and Diamond was no exception, however I caught an Abra asap and used that like it was my starter, and traded off my Piplup.
I really like Turtwig, but I started with Chimchar, simply because it's a fast pokemon with medium-high attack and special attack stats and it knows some really good combo moves.
Aww most people started with Piplup? Dang. I wish I had it's so darn cute. I chose Turtwig though because it's also cute, and I could actually stand what it evolves into. The Pip evolutions are hideous.
Yeah, I'm very cosmetic when it comes to my Pokemon. I can make any of them kick butt but I can't make them cuter! :P
