Driving myself batty
In D/P Fire types were rare! Infernape or Rapidash... no thoughts there. I take my gameplays in turns, so I use all the starters equally. Currently I've been using Infernape.

Metallic Wonder
For me, Empoleon is the only choice
 

Archangel Azazel

Fallen Angel
I chose Turtwig when I first played Diamond. It's so cute :3
 
Turtwig. Chimchar is ok, and Piplup? *shivers*

Quite funny at times
I chose Chimchar. He was the coolest looking, to me, and he was a fire type, which is the type I usually start with. (Excluding the fifth gen)

I'm a huge fan of all them, but I mainly used Piplup. Actually, they were all used an even amount.

Diamond: Torterra & Infernape (obviously Infernape was traded)
Pearl: Empoleon
Platinum: Empoleon, Infernape & Torterra

Easily my favorite group of starters.

I am the walrein
I picked Turtwig :p

Torrterra is a beast, but I dumped it after I caught my Gible because I liked having Garchomp more than Torterra.

Static owns you.
Chimchar and Piplup. I'm actually a fan of both of their final evos, and didn't really want to have to choose between them. Though I think I favor Infernape a little more.

But will it blend?
Chimchar/Infernape. You know, the one that doesn't take hits very well. Kinda wish I went for Piplup

...and so on...
First time through, on Diamond, I chose Piplup. I tend to like waters anyway, and water/steel is a great typing. I was sort of disappointed though when I found that that meant that Dawn ended up with Chimchar, since... you know... Dawn has a Piplup. So when I later played Platinum, I went with Turtwig so that Dawn would have her Piplup. And Torterra is pretty awesome too. Then, finally, I recently picked up a copy of Pearl, so I'm playing that through with a Chimchar, who's now an Infernape and just demolished the Snowpoint gym.
