4th Gen Which starter did you choose?

[Hikamaru]

So what was your starter choice in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and HeartGold/SoulSilver?

Vote for the Sinnoh and Johto starter you chose in the poll provided!

In Sinnoh (Pearl), I chose Chimchar and in Johto (SoulSilver) I picked Cyndaquil. Yes, the only times I ever chose Fire Starters.

 

[Typhlosion12]

I chose Turtwig and Totodile for my current games, I originally chose the fire starters also. I still have my Typhlosion with me today in White, and it's lvl 100 now, the other guy has been long gone since I couldn't get past the rock gym leader with him on my team.

 

[Dave666]

Pearl = Turtwig
Diamond = Chimchar
Platinum = Turwig

I forgot the remakes XD

SS = Totodile
HG = Cyndaquil

 

[Blizz]

I chose Turtwig in Pearl and Cyndaquil in Soul Silver. They both are great Pokémon.

 

[FrostPheonix]

Chose Piplup, purely cuz its a penguin, and cyndaquil, because I already had them in Silver.

 

[Princess Diana]

Piplup and Totodile, I'm a sucker for water types. :(

 

[Mentalii]

I always choose the water starters, they are the best for me. It's for this reason that I obviously chose Totodile in Soul Silver.
It's cute, strong, tough, its last evolution is badass, and moreover it's my favourite starter ever since Silver version. So my vote isn't a surprise at all.
However, despite my preference for water starter, I didn't choose Piplup in D/P/P, but Chimchar. I also had a game with Piplup, and I think it's really weak, its last evolution double type is totally uninteresting. So I began a new game and chose Chimchar, and I'm not disappointed, it's more useful that Piplup, even if the little penguin is nicer to my opinion.

Piplup in Diamond since I really liked its design (especially evolved) and Chikorita in HG since I always found her adorable \o/

 

[chella182]

Diamond and Platinum: Chimchar
SoulSilver: Cyndaquil

I do love Fire-types. I got a copy of Pearl the other day though, and I'm thinking of starting with Turtwig on that. Just to mix it up a bit, since I haven't started with a Grass-type since Blue!

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

In Pokemon Diamond/Pearl and Platinum I chose Piplup. In Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, I picked Totodile. I am a water type starter lover.


:t354:TG

 

[Hacker Bisharp]

In Pokèmon diamond/pearl/platinum i choose Chimchar
In heart gold and soul silver i picked chikorita

 

[Disko_Rock]

In Diamond I picked Piplup cuz it evolves into a part Steel type and in HG I picked Chikorita for bulk

 

[Blaze the Cat]

In Heartgold I chose Totodile despite Cyndaquil being one of my faves.
In Platinum I took Turtwig because I hate monkeys and my brother loves Turtwig

 

[Klave]

Platinum - Piplup because Empoleon is awesome. :D
SoulSilver - Cyndaquil because Typhlosion is awesome. :D

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Piplup in Pearl/Platinum and Cyndaquil in Soul Silver. Cyndaquil's always been my go-to Johto starter Pokemon, and Empoleon is awesome.

 

[Snivy286]

Diamond= Piplup
Pearl= Chimchar
Platinum = Chimchar

HeartGold= Totodile
SoulSilver=Cyndaquil

 

[psyanic]

In DPP, I chose Chimchar. I tried using Turtwig and Piplup before, but their final evolutions were just so slow. I hate being slow. So I prefer Chimchar.

HGSS... well in the originals I chose Cyndaquil, so naturally I chose it as well. However, I did a rerun of it and chose Totodile, since I'm in love with Feraligatr. It's worked out well anyway. I still prefer Cyndaquil though.

 

[DarkShadow21]

Fire-types all the way!!! I love my fire pokemon. Not to mention if you know what you're doing and give it the right moves you can beat up any water type too.

 

[Darkrylles]

Platinum: Turtwig
SoulSilver: Cyndaquil

 

[Nijiri]

In Diamond, I chose Chimchar because before Pokemon B/W came out, I thought that was the only flaming monkey in the whole Pokemon series (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, flaming monkeys are cool.
In HeartGold, I chose Totodile mainly because I didn't really know what to pick at the time - Totodile was the result of my blind pick.
