I always use Turtwig. Torterra is one of my favorite Pokemon (it's almost an exact replica of Venasaur, only with a tree). I also like ground type because my favorite move is earthquake (except, you know, for birds). I think Turtwig has the best combinations. I chose Piplup the first time I played Platinum, but I didn't like the steel/water combination.

And, as some people stated before, Infernape is ugly. It's shallow, but usually I like all of the final evolutions of starters (except the Johto ones). And Infernape...-shudders-.

I choose Piplup also in my Diamond game. I don't really know why i choose it. I do like Chimchar and Turtwig though. :)

I'll be getting Platinum in the next couple weeks or so and I'll be choosing Turtwig because he's the first grass starter that I think is awesome. Gotta love that Grass/Ground typing when it evolves into Torterra and he learns Earthquake at the same time he evolves. Plus I chose Piplup in Pearl and Chimchar in Diamond.

Piplup stinks? It easily gets you past the first two Gyms with Bubblebeam and Peck.

Anyways, I chose a male Piplup in Diamond so I picked a female Piplup in Platinum.
That way their offspring would be my team's Empoleon.
Kind of obssesive isn't it? ^^;

I know,but it doesn't have the best of stats.I would go for a Gyarados over an Empoleon,it has superb stats.

And it learns EQ and Stone Edge.

piplup - i love waters :)

Seriously... each Pokemon is differnt. Which pokemon is 'better' depends on so many factors. Empoleon works better as a Bulky water and Gyra as an Attacker. So to say Gyarados is better is fairly 2D.

I always use Grass, so I used Turtwig. Torterra is very useful, like in Pearl. Earthquake, Immune to Electric, etc.

I was going to use Piplup like I did in Diamond, but I chose Chimchar instead. I have this funny thought of teaching my little monkey martial arts.

In reply...

I always liked Empoleon, so I decided to use Piplup. Besides, Piplup is really easy to use an can become exceptionally strong.
