Do you keep your starter in your team?

[Second Coming of Jebus]

I have in every other game except Diamond and Platinum. Infernape and Empoleon's type combination is bleh.

 

[Peanutz]

I keep my starter as my lead throughout the main storyline, and after that I just put it in the PC.

With the exception of Charizard, because he's on one of my competitive teams.

 

[zerwey]

Yeah. I played through the game using only my starter and a few HM slaves. He was level 97 be the time we beat the E4. o.O

 

[Xenart]

Yes I do keep my starter for the whole game never changing him out.

 

[Miss Soupy]

Iunno why, but whenever I first get my starter in a game it seems like the best Pokemon ever. Like, nothing could replace it at that moment. (Or maybe it's because all of the wild Pokemon at the beginning aren't really my favorites?) I always remember how awesome my starter seemed like at the beginning of the game, and keep it. <3

 

[Psyburn]

I usually switch it in/out on occasion.

Torterra isn't much pwn like Typhlosion was :(

Yes he was that awesome for me to keep bringing him up.

 

[Floris2Burn]

I always have my starter, caus it's mostly my strongest pkmn in the game,
I'm not good at the strategy stuff (EV training etc)
It's even a bit of a pain for me to train other pkmn except my main (starter) pkmn.. but as long as i manage to finish the story and play the game in the way i like, I'm fine

 

[WriteThemWrong]

i stopped using my starter after my second run at crystal. i would get them, catch a pokemon i like and starting training him. and its true that most pokemon at the beginning suck but its not like the games are very difficult

 

[thedestinedblade]

Almost always unless it's like my 3+ time through the game. Just for more variety.

 

[BHwolfgang]

I always do. It's just seems wrong to throw my starter in the PC and forget about it.

It's usually the leader of my team. Ya know, when the Pokémons you're training eventually gets K.O'ed and you have no one left, you then throw out my trump card and everything all became better?

Yeah, that's what I mean when I'm talking about my starter. :]

 

[Meadow]

So far I've never deposited my starter in any game. xD

 

[ReyRey-Pyon]

Always,

I always keep my starter, Platinum being an exception, i replaced my Infernape with my Typhlosion temporarily

 

[~Rose-quartz Iatos]

I always have and always will. XP

 

[white lancer]

Usually I'll keep my starter unless I'm doing a type-specific team. However, usually my type-specific team is Water, so I'll end up keeping my starter anyway. XD

 

[Stellar]

I ALWAYS keep my starter, no matter what. In fact, I usually don't even form a team until after I've beaten the game. It's just me and my starter, who is more than capable of taking down everything by his or herself. Since I'm not raising 5 other Pokemon, it's powerful enough to get the job done.

 

[Inferno1]

I keep my starter through out the whole game and then even after the game i love starter pokemon their awesome

 

[s l u g]

I always keep my starter pokemon on my team because i fall in love with all the starter pokemon's i've ever had xD

 

[.inLOVE]

Well, my starter is usually evolved, so most of the time I do.

 

[DarthWaffles]

Usually, I use my starter to solo the whole game..xD

 

[Turnado]

I don't see why I wouldn't, unless I was doing some type of challegen, which I rarely do. The starters have good stats and evolve twice, which I love.
