    In Pearl I used Piplup but now this time I think I will switch to Chimchar because I love fire type Pokemon almost the best,but grass comes second always,and of course water the third.

    I'm gonna go with Turtwig, chose Piplup in Pearl (got pearl cause I liked the idea of Mismagius better than Honchkrow) and that turned out well. Never been a fan of monkeys, and I've never chosen a fire starter. I always seem to alternate between grass and water, and not even consciously, I only noticed it when I chose Piplup. Bulbasaur in RBY, Totodile in GSC, Treecko in RSE and now Piplup in DPP. I figure I might as well stand up to tradition and choose Turtwig. XD

    In my Diamond, I started with Piplup, so I'll probably start with either Chimchar or Turtwig, this time. However, given that there is a greater number of Fire types, this time around, (since the Platinum Sinnoh Dex has 210, instead of 150) I will likely go with Turtwig. Granted, I actually have the three Starters on my Diamond, so it wouldn't really matter, either way. XD

    But for a change in pace, I might go for Turtwig, since I'd rather have the versitility in Water and Fire types.

    Probably not. Chimchar's the one I chose in my Pearl game, and is the only starter I actually like in that region... Though, Turtwig's final evolution intrigues me. So, perhaps... I'll make that decision when I'm actually possessing a copy of Platinum.

    In Pearl, I went with Piplup, but in Platinum I'm going to go with Torterra so I can dominate with Earthquake without wasting the TM. (Which is reserved for a Gyarados, obviously. =3)

    I think Turtwig is the cutest starter, but his 3rd evolution is slow and kinda ugly looking. He doesn't stay cute for long xD

    Anyway, I think I might just pick Piplup this time since last time I chose Turtwig.

    Yes and it will be Turtwig, because I have never had a grass type starter! I mostly choose Piplup in Pokemon Pearl and Torchic in Sapphire...and last Charmander in Pokemon Leaf Green.


    Will u choose a different starter in platinum than the one u used in d/p? Will u choose a different starter in platinum than the one u used in d/p? Will u choose a different starter in platinum than the one u used in d/p? Will u choose a different starter in platinum than the one u used in d/p?

    I chose Chose Chimchar just as I did in both Diampond and Pearl because I hate the other two types and they are ugly to me. Chimchar is just cute!^.^ Its not helping me beat Fatina though!

    I'll still be using Piplup, as it's the most awesome starter to ever be created. *ever*

    I have always started with the Fire-Type, ever since Charmander. This has never changed in all my years as a Pokemon Trainer. So it won't stop with Platinum. ^^

    I find that water types are the best Pokemon to train and for me, they have always stood out and could always win. I know they have weakness but it has never been a big thing for my water types, but when I'm a fire or grass type, it never works as well.
    I would have no clue. I would prob go with Piplup again ot maybe Chimchar
