Piplup obviously! It's kinda awesome it evloves in to part iron and it's a penguin
 
It doesn't really matter, as I already have all three starters in my Diamond (and fully evolved), and would simply trade their offsprings or start out with a certain starter, get it equipped with a one-and-only item, and trade to my Pearl (which has an unused Chimchar), and then then pick the one that I didn't choose earlier, trading them back shortly afterwards.

But if I had a choice, I'd pick Piplup as the one that my final file would start out with.

I always pick the water type my first play through, because I love battling with water and ice type pokemon.

I chose Turtwig. I have to say- I love him.
I don't mean that I love something out of a game I mean I love any turtwig in general. I havn't let him evolve yet. He is at a level 21 now but I think I will keep him as a Turtwig a bit longer. (I hate grottle)

Turtwig. Just for the purpose of Torterra's Wood Hammer

I honestly don't like any of the starters. I mean Infernape has frail defenses. Empoleon dies with like one earthquake and fighting kills it too. Torterra has awesome attack and defense, but its speed is lacking.

I don't know I guess I preferred the Hoenn starters because of their battle capability.

But I chose Chimchar, because eventhough its frail, if it gets the first attack I can pretty much kill/taunt walls, etc.

Where I live the release is on friday (22 of May), and we're free from school so I will probably buy it right away. :>
I'm gonna choose Chimchar ofc. I have almost always picked the fire-type :L

I chose Chimchar in Diamond and chose piplup in Pearl so in Platinum I am going to choose Turtwig and try the cute leaf out. :)

I chose Chimchar, since after I'm done with Platinum, I plan on restarting my Diamond because I used Action Replay to get a lot of stuff. I swore off that before I got Platinum.

Actually, I might play through Pearl first (as a girl, just for the lawls).

Turtwig, I always pick the grass types, I mean, Bulbasaur and Sceptile is reason enough to choose the Grass starters (oftern overlooked)
