OT: Pokemons Question

I recently purchased a Nintendo DS and will eventually be trying out Pokemon for the first time. But which one? There are like 20 options, and I don't know which to choose. Diamond? Pearl? Platinum? Help please from all the Pokemon fiends here.

I know nothing about Pokemons.

A computer knows nothing about Pokemon? I’m shocked!

You really can’t go wrong with any of them, but Platinum is more or less an improved version of Diamond/Pearl. I’d go with that.

I would, however, avoid Pokemon Chaos Black.

Platinum, eh? Sounds good. Thanks.

Anyone have any starter tips? I probably won’t be playing the game for a few days/weeks, so I have a little time to think about it.

PIPLUP IS THE BEST STARTER POKEMON!

Actually, there aren’t many fire types for the first part of the game in Platinum/Diamond/Pearl except for Ponyta/Rapidash, so if you think you’ll want a Fire type you might want to go with the monkey starter. Then again, they could have changed it for Platinum, idk.

CHIMCHAR 4EVAR!

I actually like all of these starters a lot. I think they’re the best starting set since b/r/y.

IA with jpon, even as fire is not my favorite type. I’m going with the grass starter, because I already raised Empoleon in Pearl. Plus he looks like he has broccoli on his back.

Thirded.

With BVCE’s support, the Platinum vote could be unanymous between the big four.

He’s right, guys. We are really slacking. MCC should be at the top. We can do better!

We were at the top before.

On a related note, my company’s computer network was briefly infected with what I assume was a virus or something that automatically loaded every page anybody in the building went to with the .mx tag in the URL.

It was a hilarious 15 minutes.

Didn’t know that Xanthan is still spelled the same in Spanish. Figured it would read Computadora on Mar 17, 2009 11:36 AM PDT
