4th Gen Who was your starter?

I picked Turtwig. His design is insanely good (like other Gen IV starters' who are actually cute and seem to be connected to each other more than other starter groups), I love turtles and his stats are pretty good. Torterra's STAB is awesome, way better than other Grass-type starters'. One reason I like Torterra so much is because he's the slowest of all and thus the fastest under Trick Room. But think his base Speed should be abysmal, like 35 or 40 instead of 56.

On the other hand, I'm glad I bred my sister's Pokemon on my game because now I have a female Empoleon, which is quite rare according to Serebii :3
All starters have a gender ratio of 1♀:7♂, so all female starters, regardless of its species, are rare.

Turtwig in Diamond.
Chimchar in Pearl.
Piplup in Platinum.


I like choosing all the starters no matter which one I like the best.
 
Pearl: Piplup
Platinum: Turtwig

I got chimchar in a trade later on, but since i used Torchic in Sapphire i wanted to use the oppsite in sinnoh. And i wasnt a fan of playing another fire/fighting
 
PIPLUP! level 100 FTW!!! so hard not to evolve it but its worth it now!
 
Piplup ALL night. I always had a water starter fetish. :D

Dude. I LOVE THE REGULAR SHOW :DDDDDDDD What a crackerjack idea xD
 
Piplup! Usually am a Grass-Type starter, but wanted to be different this time. Empoleon looks sweet too.
 
I picked Piplup because I always pick the water type starters.
Plus, Piplup's evolutions look WAYYY better than the others.
:)
 
I have tried all the starters at one point or another...but Chimchar was definitely my favorite.
 
PIPLUP! That guy is so cute! And his evolutions are awesome! He's always been at least tied as my fav pokemon.
 
I chose a Piplup because a water type starter is a good thing for me except for the first generation


:t354:TG
 
First time in Diamond, I picked Chimchar. I picked Piplup for both my first Pearl and Platinum playthroughs. Probably my favorite of the starters...Empoleon, that is. I don't really like the Sinnoh starters very much. :( Especially the middle evolutions, yuck.
