• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Piplup, because I've never actually played all of the way thru Diamond or Pearl starting with it. I just never really found the little guy that attractive of a choice compared to the other two. Don't know why, really.

I havent played D/P yet, but i want to pick turtwig, but i want to train a roserade too... dont know what to do...

♪How do I look?♪
Chimchar, me and my sister both agreed on it as we have Piplup on our Diamond.
 
Probably Turtwig. In my first run in Pearl I used Piplup and really regretted it. In my second run in Pearl I used ChimChar and got it to about level 95 so I really don't want to do that again. Plus I ever really used the grass starter so this will be a first.

ive got both pearl and diamond which i have fully beaten and have played it seriously training my party pokemon to level90's.

Pearl : Piplup - Prinplup - Empoleon
Diamond : Chimchar - Monferno - Infernape

so i guess for Platinum : Turtwig - Grotle - Torterra
 
Turtwig cause i started with piplup im pearl, and using chimchar i feel would be to easy and quick (considering gym types) and i want to go through the game slowly so turtwig for me.

Piplup, I think! On my Diamond game I started with Turtwig, and I don't really like Chimchar that much. :D I might just put the Piplup in the computer, though and use a Bidoof or Shinx as my "starter."
 
Turtwig. I've used Piplup continuously on my D/P and I don't like Chimchar at all. I'm going to send over a Cyndaquil and Totodile egg though. ^^
 
Chimchar but I'll then trade over a Torchic from diamond and play through the game with that since I prefer Blaziken to infernape

I'm choosing chimchar, I tried piplup last time. I probably won't use him though, because i'm taking the scramble challenge (see my spoiler).
