Somebody help me decide which D/P starter to get...=/

[_Advanceshipping_]

It's between Turtwig and Piplup,because my brother's getting chimchar and I want a different starter than him.But I can't decide!

You should choose Piplup!! <33 It's a water type (and they rule), it's more fun, and it's just plain adorable. Everyone should pick a Piplup actually. The world needs them.

 

[The Dude]

Turtwig. Torterra will be a serious asset during the E4. And Grass/Ground is overall a better combo than Water/Steel offensively.

 

[Ren-Kun]

I guessed Piplup is the Best choice,but Turtwig is good too and like Infinite Sceptile say it will be nice match to sweep off E4 of you hands,but in the other hand Piplup is the best starter but you have hard times beggining with him so Turtwig will be easier one.Its your choice if you wanna go thought game easy Turtwig its your choice but if you want a bit challenge in you game can go wrong with Piplup.^^

If you both own a DS (and not just one between the two of you)...start with all three?

But seconding Turtwig. Those two (Turtwig and Piplup) are honestly the two I can't choose between, but in the long run, Grass/Ground is better offensively. Torterra could pound Empoleon into the ground.

Naetle. For some reason, my Pocchama and I had bad battle experiences,

id say turtwig i love, it <3
(yet i choose poochama) o_o

 

[Grass_Master]

Seriously, Turtwig. It pwns the games. I mean, the Ground type for Torterra automatically learns Earthquake, which proves to be a great asset as does Bite. His Groundie attacks beat the shoite out of Fire and Steel and Electric. Then the Grass does its thing killing Waters and Grounds and Rockies and junk. And so far it's been smooth sailin [I got the first 5 badges bout now].

well i can give u some advice

pochama (piplup) has horn drill hig sp atk and sp def looks sweet XD

turtwig : in lv 12 (i think) has curse who makes it a tough oponent learns earthquake and lots of nasty moves

chimchar : i dont like it but it can be a good choice once it gets to evolve into infernape can be used as special ataker or physical

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Depends on what you're looking for, I think.

yeah but a little advice is also good

 

[Mukubird]

Cheap Way : Pick either one, get your first badge, and trade two Bidoofs for the other two at the GTS.

But I suggest Turtwig, since its a frigen' tank. Piplup's line doesn't have a good movepool, plus Torterra can learn Earthquake.

Piplup's line doesn't have a good movepool unless you do a lot of shuffling around, much like Treecko. It's not bad, it's just not as good as the others. It's powerful defenses kind of make up for it, so it's better used as a staller than a sweeper like most Starters.

Turtwig is all-around the best, since it can do anything you want it to do and has a great movepool.

Chimchar is like an improved version of Torchic. Good movepool, but essentially it's built to do a lot of damage very fast until it dies.

I like Piplup, just because it looks awesome. I had a bit of trouble with it at the beginning, but for the most part it's a great starter. I haven't tried the other two so I can't comment on those.
