Do you use your starters in the games?

[pika2000]

Read the title.

Well, I do.
Since they are my first Pokémon, they are usually at a high level.
So I like using them in battles.

[Umi_Swampert]

they're my most used.

[Arielle]

I usually do. They're cool Pokémon.
However, I want to try a team that doesn't have my starter in it. I want to have a team without a starter for once, just to see how it feels. ^^;

[En-Cu-Kou]

My regular team features a Blaziken, a Swampert, and sometimes even a Sceptile ^_^

[Cookie Monster]

I actually don't like using starters sometimes. It usually depends what team I want to make.

[Luka]

Hm.... I don't really use them because I'm too busy catching others, and evolving them to complete my pokedex, but I do rarely use them. I focus mainly on my mightyena.

[Typhlosion ex fans]

Yap and I usualy use fire pokemon as starter like Charizard, Typhlosion and Blaziken. Water pokemon 2nd and bug pokemon last for I don't like them.

[kippkipp]

of course i use my starter pokemon!!!!!!!I can beat the eleit 4 just by using my SWAMPERT

[Topaz_Mew]

Of course I do but I like to raise my pokemon eqaully but my arcanine is my strongest in my pokemon fire red level 100 to be exact

[Avegaille]

Yep, I use them... I never had a team without a Pokemon Starter in it... ._. It would feel weird though...

[Deprivated Angel]

Yeahhh.. even though I've been 'encouraged' in a way by a certain someone not to. xP But I usually do, with mostly choosing the Grass starters (never played GSC), though RSE has the most exception because I like all the starters, really.

Diamond and Pearl may be different, since I only like Pocchama as the starter. ;[

[Annatar]

I always use starters in the game. It's become a habit to me. :)

[Myuuzard]

I only use Swampert. I mean it has a really good moveset.
Also I never use grass starters, for me every single one of them are weak.

[K-dawG]

I always use my Starters I've just always done it. ;P

[Protest The Hero]

Yes, in every game,

R/B: Venusuar

G/S/C: Ferrilgator(sp)

Ruby: Sceptile
Emerald: Blazikan

and I intend to keep my Hikozaru in my D/P

[InsanityUnleashed]

I do. When I was younger all I did was train my starter though. o_0

[Comis Patronus]

I only use Typhlosion sadly.

[squeakyreaper]

Only reason I use them is because theres never any good pokemon at the beggining. By the time I have my team decided, I've beaten the Elite Four with only my starter.

[SHTR]

Depends on the starter.

Ive used Squirtle, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Totadile, Mudkip. (Used Torchic but not evolved).

Though I like Chikorita, I never got round to using it.

[Aptenodytes]

Not unless I have access to all three. Otherwise, they get replaced by the in-game uber.

[Saruki]

Till D/P, my starter was usually my strongest Pokemon.

But now I have my Mew for that. Bye bye, Empoleon!

[Nashua]

Sometimes. I don't really use the starters in the R/S/E game that much, but for the others that I have, I do use some of the starters [read - all but the grass types].

Maybe I should use a grass type for a change.

[Ben Kenobi]

Yes, I always use my starter in-game, at least up until I've beaten the Elite Four.

[Comis Patronus]

Yes-to the point where I've beaten the E4 then they're just data accumulating in my box.

~@};-

[Al the Great]

I use my starter all throughout the game, unless I don't like it. I usually do end up liking my starter though.

[Nights]

Yes, I use my starters, but I have many teams without a starter Pokemon present.

[Sheer Cold]

Up until the E4 I only use my starter. From then on it's used to help other Pokemon level up.

On competitive teams the only starters I might use would be Charizard and Swampert (on the same team). Their types complement each other.
