You get a Chimchar if you want it as your 1st Pokemon
You can get a Chimchar if you trade it from games Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
You cannot catch Chimchar in the wild in Pokemon Pearl. You can only get chimchar either at the beginning of the game, or breeding a chimcharm, infernape, or monferno. Otherwise, you need an Action Replay to catch a chimchar in the wild.
If you chose Chimchar, use chimchar If you chose Turtwig, catch a starly and train it If you chose Piplup, use piplup's peck but if that doesn't work, catch a starly and train it.
