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.

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.

Should have gone with the penguin. Its final evolution is part steel so it's immune to pretty much everything in the entire game.
Weird, last time I checked the UN said you need to have at least 200 APM and be rainbow league to be called human. —Liquid`TLO

Actually I think all of the starters in this game were pretty cool. I went with the penguin.

Fire monkey has great offense//penguin gets steel-typing later on for awesome defense; turtle is kind of weak but it's because Grass is so underpowered =/

Also did you pick boy or girl character? :3

Always Fire Pokemons are best ones. Btw kona, where did you download the rom from? I just can't find anywhere. I already finished red-silver-fire red-ruby generations. Diamond is up next, but I can't play it.

Good choice on chimchar.

Infernape is by far the best amongst torterra and empoleon, really good sweeper. Teach that thing close combat + overheat + a couple standard moves (don't think infernapes usually run stat boosting moves..can't remember).

Nasty Plot infernape can manhandle unsuspecting teams, but I dunno if you can get that ingame
