get the fire monkey. i'm biased towards it because i love aggression/offense.

edit 1: there's nothing better than 1-hit k.o.ing your way through every gym imo.

edit 2: call him (yes, get a male) guillotine.

Get an actually badass one. Meaning download red version and pick Charmander. Pokemon Diamond saddens me because of how stupid all of the pokemon look. More like pokefairies imo.

Dealer: Hey, kid, you looking for a good time?
You: Huh? Me....?
Dealer: Yeah, I got three pokemon I just caught this morning, kid. I'll sell one to ya real cheap if you tell all your friends about me.

Eh personally I think Infernape looks reasonably cool. The other starters become... Empoleon? And some... earth grass turtle thing? You can look at all the sprites up through the DP generation here: http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/national

Personally I found the Black-White lineup more memorable, though I thought the elemental monkeys there looked straight-up dumb.

EDIT: Chimchar does become Infernape, not Typhlosion, which is indeed from GSC. He can't learn Ice Punch, but he can learn Hidden Power Ice... though he probably won't unless you hack him.

Here are some movesets for him: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/infernape

It's ALWAYS a good idea to pick a Fire-starter because it is rare.

However, for diamond, consider the Water-starter as well, since it has a steel secondary type, which is nice.

Also, unless you have link cable, make sure you load long enough to get a FEMALE starter (1/8 chance). If I recall correctly, Ditto is really hard to catch to diamond; so if you want a good starter whose EVs are not all messed up, you need a female.

I believe Chimchar's evolved forms have the same stats for attack and special attack, therefore there is almost no need to use Flamewheel when Flamethrower is available to you eventually.
