Did you ditch your starter?

response

no I didn't

 

[EmberStar the Blaziken]

Never. My starter is usually a core member of my group. I don't overtrain it or anything, but it is a powerhouse in-game.

 

[BronzeBlade7]

yea, my grovyle was useless, i replaced it with kirlia

 

[kinglax]

I never have and never will

 

[BronzeBlade7]

come on dan! you havent gotten rid of a starter who doesnt pull his weight

 

[Takaru]

Yes after the elite 4 I did I don't have a liking for many starters only Meganium Charizard and Blastoise

 

[skylight]

well the only time i ditched a starter was in pokemon yellow.

 

[justatrainer]

I ditched my starter i yellow too. :0

 

[Absolete]

Sadly, I do ditch my starter. I just happen to find some other pokemon to my liking.

After the elite 4, they usually find their way into the PC. I never used to but there were just other pokemon that would find their way into the team. Although GarionMud (Nickname for the swampert I would start all my 3rd gen games with- yeah it sucks) usually sticks around for longer than the others. I think my Ruby or Sapphire, or even emerald still has it on it. But with all the games, the starters are gone as soon as the E4 is over.

When I got yellow version I even ditched the Pikachu there too for sheer convenience. I never do it anymore though on yellow.

My starters are usually my toughest pokemon, but now I'm raising a team (there all at lv 1 now LOL) and it doesn't involve any starter pokemon.

I ditched my Totodile in Gold Version.
My strongest Pokemon was a Pidgeot, and Totodile spent the whole game in the PC.

 

[Eclipse]

No, but it's a good idea. Empoleon's pretty bad, even though it's my favourite starter.

 

[Mr. E Goods]

sadly yes i ditched my empoleon and replaced it with a torterra but i do use my empolean in PBR

 

[Leghorn]

I've never ditched a starter but it is something I'm considering doing.

Scyther is my favourite pokemon of all time and I have bred a pretty good one with decent stats on my Diamond game. So I think I'm going to trade it to a friends DS, start a new game and then get my Scyther back to act as my starter.

I just don't generally like the starter pokemon in Diamond so, meh...

 

[Ceecee-typhlosion]

yeah i ditched my swampert in sapphire because i was too busy training a walrein

 

[hevver]

Yeah after I got my Frosslass.

 

[~Silver Aura~]

I'd never ditch my Empoleon I got the guy up to lv. 77 for crying out loud that's the strongest I ever made a pokemon (At least I think so) So no I'd never ditch him.

 

[Taurine]

I have ditched every starter, except Empoleon.

After beating the Elite Four, my starter usually turns into a HM slave. Or in the case of Mudkip, Swampert was always an HM slave.
