Starter Pokemon... Do you always use them forever?

[Sora]

I mostly keep my starters accept for HG/SS. Once I transferred Leafeon from Platnium, Megamium was sitting in box. But in any other games, I stick with starters, mostly because od the whole sentimantall stuff...
And you know what? I think Piplup isn't bad at all!

And you know what? I think Piplup isn't bad at all!

yeah i know, Empoleon > Water|Steel he defends him/herself from other pokemon he lears grass knot =0 and kewl steel moves

[Chad29]

I also like that he learns agility, so he has the means and the bulk to fix his biggest statistical weakness.

Meh, since you can pretty much beat the game with any pokemon, I really just look for cool-nes when choosing my starter. I found Chimchar's evo path, Grotle, Torterra, Empoleon, and whatever stage 2 piplup is to all be rather fugly.

Hey french if you think does are ugly you should take a loot at these > http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml

People suddenly stopped hating on the otter.

[Chad29]

Because his final evo looks cool.

The rock type's evolutions look like the rock version of metagross.

They apparently made a pure electric type with levitate. Also since no known ground types to my knowlege can learn gravity, it could switch into just about any of them.

It's going to be 649 now. Good God.

[Ryan Matthews]

I can safely say... three Pokémon look appealing to me;

Otter (will definitely be using), rock-Metagross thing, and pseudo-dragon guy.

[Chad29]

The dragon with moldbreaker could be a top sweeper. I'll have to see, though.

[Ryan Matthews]

Possible Tauros evolution looks... interesting.
I like the water-rock turtle thing.

Anyhow, we're steering off the thread.
Back to discussing starters, yes?

[zrper]

I generaly stick with my starter, exept in hg\ss 'cause I took mah powah house infernape from pearl and ruled teh jhoto region and raised him to lv. 100 at mt. silver.

The green evo path looked fine, the entirety of fire was devoured by fail, and water sucked until stage three, which looked pretty good.
>.< I can't focus... I accidentally fell asleep with my contact in, and now I have a really bad headache.

[Chad29]

I know that feeling. I wear contacts too.

I too feel the grass line looks fine. The fire starter looks alright, but not the evolutions so much. Plus I'm really turned off by it being part fighting. The second water evolution looks better than the first, but still not impressive. As stated before I do like the final evo, though.

I was looking it over again, and I noticed a water and ghost type. Nice. So all that's really lacking now is a water and fire type which probably won't happen.

[Frenchfry]

Fire/water just be it's strengths/weaknesses, though. It'll acutally be a new type - Mindf*ck.

[Chad29]

It might look something like blue fire or maybe something that is separated by two halves. Sort of a yin/yang creature, except with fire and water instead of light and dark.
