    Heh, I usually don't find the Pokemon I want on my team until much later in the game, so my Totodile will most likely be godly by the time I get to the sixth Gym. It's pretty funny when my Pokemon are getting owned by a Gym Leader, and I'm down to my starter, with no healing tools left.

    The Gym Leader's entire team was One-Hit KO'd!

    My starter's always the strongest on my team. I train my whole team equally, so just about everyone's on the same level, but I always have my starter one or two levels higher!

    I usually have my starter 2-4 levels higher than the rest of the party, and that usually happens on accident.

    no no no there is no point in keeping your starter because there are SO much better pokemon, think about it lvl. 100 typhlosion v.s. lvl. 100 ho-oh? yea there really is no point i plan on getting my starter to lvl twenty and then ditching him for more l337 pokes

    My starter will probably end up being my strongest Pokemon (or one of my strongest Pokemon), at least until I beat the main game. Ideally, I'll keep all of my Pokemon at the same level, but if one does get ahead at all, it will most likely be my starter.

    I used to do that on all my games up to Platinum. I guess I'm gonna make my starter the strongest if I'm gonna rely on it a lot in battle. And that depends on type match-up and stuff.

    I have a pattern that I attempt not to break.

    It goes like this:

    Lv. 12 Chikorita
    Lv. 10 Hoothoot
    Lv. 10 Geodude

    I think you get the point. That's why I never LP official games, because if the starter isn't 2 levels ahead of everyone else, then I train the starter, or the rest of the team to meet up with what I need. I need them to be like that, or I just feel weird.

    Probably not hasn't been in D/P/Pt, but then again i hated those starters. In HG/SS though I'll probably make it my strongest until I catch another that catches my interesting in training.
