Here we go again.

To be honest, there are a lot of arguments about choosing "the best" starter. If you never noticed, there aint a best starter. The simple chain of Turtwig beating Piplup, Piplup beating Chimchar and Chimchar beating Turtwig is only the start of the argument, but the movepools each weild. Think about these things when choosing your starter:

What strengths rely on each?
What weak points does this one have?
How good of a movepool does this one have?

Turtwig: Turtwig is the Grass Starter. Turtwig is capable of learning Grass moves a bit early, giving it a quick advantage. Turtwig evolves into Grotle at Level 18, who is capable of learning Leech Seed. Grotle then evolves into Torterra at Level 32. Torterra becomes part Ground, making it capable of unleashing the great move, Earthquake. The problem is that it's quite slow and gets killed by Ice Beam easily.

Chimchar: Chimchar is my personal favorite choice. Chimchar, like Torchic will have trouble with the first gym unless you evolve into into Moneferno at Level 14. Monferno can learn Typhlosion's move, Flame Wheel. Monferno is also like Combusken, it's part Fighting. Monferno then evolves into Infernape at Level 36. Just like Blaziken, it's Fire/Fighting. It learns a great deal of Physical attacks and has the attack stat to use them, he's quite speedy too.

Piplup: Piplup is the water starter. Piplup doesn't learn any good moves early in the game until Bubblebeam, giving it a hard time. It evolves into Priplup at Level 16. They still aren't anything special though. At Level 36, Prinplip evolves into Empoleon. Empoleon is part Steel, giving it more some good defensive parts now.

Well, the fire one is best, though you say otherwise, also Fire Spin isn't it's strongest move. Anyways, other than the fire one, I guess Piplup is best.

cyber_john3000 answered:

Well...from what I know all the three starters are good

The fire one is like Blaziken..so I won't bother getting it..

The Water and Grass one is good IMO...

The ice one has good sp.stats so as the grass one

Choose whatever you like...

Personally I would go to the Grass type one..
