On Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, will you start with Turtwig, Chimchar, or Piplup, and why?

Question

As you know, Diamond/Pearl come out April 22, 2007 in the US. Turtwig is the grass starter, Chimchar, fire, and Piplup, water.

Answer 1

I will probably pick Chimchar because I love fire type Pokemon. Also, in the past games, fire types have always been a little more difficult of a starter, and it never hurts to challenge yourself.

Answer 2

The smart thing to do is turtwig, or watever the grass is because 50% of the trainers have pokemon whose weaknesses are either water, rock , or ground. But i wanna chose the fire type cuz it looks cool AND fire moves look cool.

Answer 3

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I'll probably choose Turtwig when I get the game, judging on what the future gym leaders and elite 4 use.

Answer 4

I will probably pick Chinchar because I love monkeys.I am glad they are finally putting a monkey at the start of the game.My second favorite is Piplup since I love penguins.

Answer 5

piplup because water pokemon r the best

or turtwig cause it is the coolest looking at its third stage of evolution

Answer 6

i always started somthing, thats like an instinct. I always get the water starter cuz the last water pokemon looked cool (totodile, Mudkip, Squirtle, etc.)

Answer 7

they are basically diffuculties turtwig is easy piplup is medium and chimchar is hard i recomend chimchar because there arent many good fire types you can find in the wild infact only ponyta later in the game

Answer 8

Chinchar because
1. hes a monkey
2. hes a fire type
3. his final evolved form looks awesome
4. fire monkeys kick asss
