You could ask for them in trades at the GTS. However, people there are REALLY ripping others off, so if you have a friend who also has Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, and you are just starting the game, try this:
Start off with any of the three starters, Turtwig, Chimchar or Piplup. Go through the game until you reach the first Pokemon Center and go upstairs. Trade the starter to your friend. MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ANOTHER POKEMON WITH YOU OR ELSE YOU CAN'T TRADE!
Repeat the process until your friend has at least two of the three starters.
When he does, start your game with the starter that your friend doesn't have with him. Catch a few wild Pokemon and trade them for your other starter Pokemon. You should now have all three starters!
Be sure to give your friend something for helping you out. Perhaps help him do the same.
Way To Get Starters(2nd way!):trade starters with your friends until you have the ones your heart desires.Then go to the Daycare in solaceon town and put in a DITTO and a starter Pokemon. walk about 1000 steps,then talk to the old dude in front of the daycare, he should give you an egg!! ( THIS ALSO WORKS FOR EEVEE,ROTOM, and any Pokemon not legendary!)
I order to get all the starters, you should trade. If you have Diamond and Pearl, you can choose different starters in each and then trade those with something in Platinum.
no because you can die
you cant find a shiny magikarp that is the only Pokemon that cant be shiney i own every Pokemon that is shiny no normal legends and starters all them BUT NOT MAGIKARP
You will need two DS systems and two games. First start your first DS then start your second. On the second game choose one of the two starters you do not have then trade it to your first game. Start a new game on the second and choose the other starter you do not have and trade it to your first.
U get all starters by getting another game or someone to trade u them
You can not the get all starters in any game.The closest one is HeartGold and Soulsilver
No. You can only get 1
That's impossible.
All the starters are equally good.
no because you can die
No. The starters are still : piplup, chimchar and turtwig.
Go to other regions and talk to the professors sorry that's all i know
There is no "worst" starter, it's all about your personal preference. They are all good starters. The most challenging is turtwig.
Breed a female starter
yes you can
I have all the starters from all 4 generations, except totadile and chikorita, and willl trade a few of the starters for them or a legendary if I don't already have it. e-mail me at joshburt333@gmail.com if you're interested
No, but if you catch all the sinnoh pokemon; Prof. Rowan will offer you one of the three Johto starters.
