Starter?

Did you finish your story with your starter as your favorite?
 
For platinum, my starter was Chimchar. After the E4, my Scizor had by far taken the mantle of favourite folowed by Gliscor, mostly because these two were caught with competitive battling in mind and have the correct IVs and Natures, while Infernape was used as a Fire-type attacker exclusively. He now sists in one of my PC boxes while his grandson is my Lead Infernape.

Tis a sad story indeed.
 
I didn't he is level 31 and i'm at the champion.
 
Oh no. After a I beat Candice I evolved my Pikachu to Raichu, and it beat Volkner by itself, and it had great moves, and it became my favorite. Not because it was strong, because I don't know why.
 
i always do
:P
 
I use my Pokemon through the main storyline, but not the battle facilties.
 
Sometimes. Pearl, I started out with Piplup and it became my favorite. Platinum, I started out with Turtwig, but Togekiss became my favorite. Firered, I started out with Bulbasaur and either Lapras or Nidoking became my favorite.
 
I use my starter as a powerhouse to get through the storyline and help training really WEAK pokemon into better pokemon. Thanks to my Emporer(empoleon) he actually made my Bibarel a fairly useful pokemon when I battled The steel leader in Platium
 
In my crystal, hardly only the pokemon i ever trained was my lv. 100 typhlosion. Then in my Fire red, I constantly trained my whole team, although two rising stars (golem and zapdos) were a little stronger than the rest. All in all though, it depends on which game you're talking about, which should have been specified from the start and put in its respective forum.
 
yep. if i try to raise another pokemons level they both fail
 
yep. if i try to raise another pokemons level they both fail (eg. ;388; and ;025; both fail in battle)
 
My birds usually become my favorite, along with the Ninjask I get.

Only on Hoenn did I pay attention to my starter the most, Mudkip.
 
I don't really know if "favorite" is the best word, but in general I like to not only train my whole team but go that little extra mile to have my starter always be a couple levels higher.
