4th Gen Who Did you Choose

[MarthVBA]

turtwig:because he is better than empoleon and infernape.becasue he is grass/ground and he can use EQ and finish them both in 1 shot.but thats not only reason.i like him =3

 

[インフェルノの津波]

I went against myself and picked Piplup, to see how good is Empoleon.

 

[Alternative]

I usually pick Piplup, or I just pick one and trade it off to someone else. My current run I'm using Turtwig, since I'm doing a monotype ground run.

 

[DestinyBender]

Always pick Piplup. Always.

 

[Teto]

Well, when I first got the game I chose Piplup, cause I thought Turtwig and Chimchar were ugly. xD
But then I got Pearl, and then eventually Platinum, so on each of the games I have each of the starters. 8D

 

[Fantomix]

Chimchar on Diamond, Turtwig on Platinum.
They all look frightfully ridiculous though.

 

[★EP!K★]

I picked the Chim to the Char

 

[The Doctor]

THE TURTWIG FTW! On Pearl First Time I Chose Piplup cause it was cute, i won the game easily so i started again

 

[salot]

the fire one chimchar(btw i dont like these 3 starters the worst starters ever in pokemon for me )

 

[empty streets]

If I start over then I would pick Piplup. Never tried Turtwig, it's ugly. And Chimchar is boring.

 

[tomkiddo]

Turtwig, turned out to be useful but not very exciting to use...

 

[CharCharmander]

I chose chimchar because his evolved form infernape looks like the monkey king character from Journey to the west (?), and because I like fire types in general.

 

[Raykon]

Chimchar, reason? I always start off with the Fire pokemon, except on Pokemon G/S/C versions. I pick Totodile in them.

 

[Nashton]

Turtwig, because he looked like Bulbasaur.

same and was least annoying to look at as final stage.

 

[Shiny]

Well I picked Turtwig, but I soon replaced it with a Swinub.

 

[DGexe]

My first playthrough was with Chimchar.
This time, it's with Turtwig-- he's already a Torterra, and maaaan do I love him the most out of the starters and all their evolved forms~!

 

[N!ck]

I chose Piplup, because water and ice Pokemon are my favorite! =D

 

[zommy08]

Emerald: Mudkip because Swampert only has one weakness.
Diamond: Piplup because I like Steel-types (Empoleon is WTR/STL).
Platinum: Turtwig because I had already picked Piplup in Diamond and Chimchar is WAY too overused.
When I get SoulSilver, I will pick Chikorita. For some odd reason I think Meganium is cool.

Piplup rules...

Piplup is the best starter to choose, because of its strong attack power, and the fact that it is Water type. This makes the first gym battle extremely easy, while with Chimchar, you would struggle. Although some say that that is for noobs, it is not. This lets you hit the ground running, starting off your adventure in the world of Pokemon smoothly. Wether you are a weathered Pokemon fan like me, or just starting playing with D/P and Pl, Piplup is the only starter to choose.

 

[Medli]

I chose Piplup, which is odd, I guess. I almost always pick the Fire types and I usually hate the Water types. I just didn't feel Chimchar, I guess. Not into its design. I'm only just starting to "somewhat" like Infernape. Something about its sprite still irks me, though.

Empoleon is pretty awesome, though. I mean, it's a penguin. Penguins are awesome. And it's a Steel type. I learned how awesome Steel types are in my Pearl playthrough. Hooray for abusing the word "awesome."
