Thread: Have you ever ditched your Starter?

Once, a long time ago when playing Red. I wanted a team like a Cool/Ace Trainer. though i forgot what starter i chose. i remember having a gloom and an arcanine and a kingler

Yeah - Serps. While I DO love the Snivy family, the poor movepool in BW was a real let down... so into the box it went.

A few times, I have. Most of my main teams don't even include it, really.

Nah, I always have it in my party through the whole playthrough journey.

During my playthrough journey: no. For competitive battling: yes.

I've never released them, but I occasionally keep them off my party and in the PC.

I regularly ditch my starter. The first (and only) time I played a Gen 5 game (white) I ditched my starter pokemon. I often just like 6 other pokemon more.

No, I never do, doing that just makes me feel like a douche trainer. Although in Colosseum I did ditch Espeon and Umbreon, I regret that. :(

I haven't, but I wish I did with Typhlosion, Infernape 2 and 3, and Samurott 2. I need to stop replicating starters (except Blaziken. He's cool.)

I boxed my Piplup for this playthrough of Pearl. I just felt like using a completely new team that I'd never tried before.

No, I don't even put them in the box or daycare unless I'm breeding

After the Elite Four, yeah. Into the PC it goes.

Nope, unless I'm training low level Pokemon.

Nope. But I will with B2W2.

I've always ditched my grass-type starters, with the exception of Turtwig. Usually around the fourth gym leader or so. And I also always seem to ditch Cyndaquil, no matter how much I try to use it.
