4th Gen Which pokemon should you start with?

[Fr0z3n]

Well the title says it all. Which Pokemon would you start with in Pokemon Platinum?
Me personaly would start with Chimchar. Then I would abandun him for Typhlosion or Blaziken.

 

[The Dragon Master Is Back]

Piplup All The Way!
Ill Never abandon him cause he'll evolve into a
super strong Empoleon!
>>>Trust Me Its A Strong Pokemon<<<
But Not As Stong As Dragonite!

 

[Captain Fabio]

There isn't one you SHOULD start with.
It is down to personal preference.
One isn't really worse than the other...

I normally go for the little fiery monkey.

 

[Pyrax]

I'd choose turtwig.
I won't abandon him though.

 

[totodilefan]

I always go for the water in this case piplup... but im a huge fan of water types

 

[Kaseo]

I chose Turtwig. It seems that he's the least popular of the 3, so that's actually a plus for me. And I like to go with the story. Diamond has Turtwig in the manga, Pearl has Chimchar and yeah

 

[*~Fireheart~*]

Depends on what Pokémon I'm in the mood for. First time was Turtwig, 2nd was Chimchar, and the 3rd time I chose Piplup.

 

[ItzMike]

Hmm i chose Turtwig. Cause hes awesome of course

 

[Kokuo]

I choose Turtwig because it's my favorite Sinnoh starter.

 

[Ayselipera]

Well I prefer to chose Turtwig since
he'll evole into a strong grass/ground
type.

 

[Charliezard]

I thought Turtwig was the most popular. Well, anyway, I chose Piplup and I'm not evolving it.

 

[Alpha Bass]

Piplup of course! Heh, the water types always seem cool to me....excpet in johto...cydiquil was the best in johto....

 

[Sirius]

Either Piplup or Chimchar.

With Piplup, you can easily beat Roark's pokemon, but you'll have a hard time with some of the other gyms unless you can fully evolve it.

With Chimchar you'll have to evolve it before the fist gym, but then you'll be able to get through the others fairly easy.

Both are also pretty good for battling as well.

 

[sez1992]

I chose Piplup because it was cute and I love water pokemon!

 

[PrimalMario]

Hmm...

My preference- Chimchar

Not too bad- Piplup


But mudkip still pwnz all!

 

[TFN]

I always go for Piplup cause it evolves into Empoleoan who is one great pokemon

 

[Sweet Jasmine]

i Prefer Turtwig! Leaf Pokemon is also Good :D
Go Grass Type Pokemon and Normal Rocks >3

-Yasumin >3

 

[Gimmy]

I'd choose Turtwig just for Torterra. I started with Chimchar this time though because I haven't picked him yet in the 1,000 times I've restarted. XD

 

[Tzini]

I chose Chimchar on Pearl and Piplup on Platinum....
I think Piplup was the best choice 'cos it learned both surf and waterfall and evolved into Empoleon which is a really strong Pokemon
but you shouldn't abandon your starter...

 

[Lady Missie]

I have a thing for grass pokemon so take a wild guess which one I chose. :D
