Well it depends, Fire beats grass grass beats water and water beats fire, i started with chimchar and he is pretty good . after finishing the game trade all your legendaries to another version of pokemon, wipe the game try a different starter and trade the legendaries back
Also, Chimchar is a good choice due to the lack of fire types in Pokemon DP. It will be next to useless for the first gym, but after he evolves into Infernape, he will be the monster of your team. do not worry about not catching any fire types in DP IF you did not choose Chimchar. Rapidash is good, and I used him as I started out with Turtwig. Man, Rapidash's speed is awesome.
Chimchar
chimchar not much else to say chimchar is simply the best
the best Pokemon to pick at the start is PIPLUP or CHIMCHAR
in order from best starter to worse Piplup Turtwig Chimchar
from my side chimchar because you can catch a crogunk
Personally, I always use fire pokemon starters. I think they are the best. If i were you, I would get the Chimchar.
Obviously chimchar. better hp.
1: Choose it as a starter pokemon 2: Trade for one 3: Get an owner of one to breed theirs and give you the egg. This is the best because you both have one at the end.
Yes it is! I always like to choose Piplup for a starter pokemon. Hope I helped. Of course it is better than chimchar,turtig,torchic,mudkip,treeco,squirtle,bulbasaur,charmander,chicorita,totodile,cindaquil and larvitar. it is the best of all starters
There are all pretty good Pokemon but my opinion is Chimchar. He evolves into fire/fighting type.
I think its totodile by far.
Chimchar is a solid choice for Explorers of Time due to its Fire typing, which can be useful in battling Grass and Bug type Pokemon that are common in the game. However, the best starter ultimately depends on your playstyle and preferences. Consider factors like your battle strategy and Pokemon team composition when choosing your starter.
