Personally, I always use fire pokemon starters. I think they are the best. If i were you, I would get the Chimchar.

yes you will fight your rival thourthout the game he has it or dawn
The Eeveelotions? not including Infernape means you just lost alot of speed and power, because at Lvl 100 he is the best Pokemon.
If your Infernape is not shiny to begin with, it will not evolve into a shiny Pokemon.
HERE ARE THE BEST POKEMON FOR EACH TYPE. Normal: Arceus(STRONGEST POKEMON EVER, and because of its multitipe ability, it can change into any other type, and be the best Pokemon of each type). Grass: Torterra or any of the grass starter Pokemon that have fully evolved Fighting: Infernape Flying: honchkrow, ho-oh,gia Rock: Rhyperior, tyranitar Dark: darkrai Fire: Entei, Infernape, Typhlosion or any fire starter that has fully evolved Electric: Rikou. Poison: Drapion Psychic: Deoxys Ghost: Giratina Steel: Dialga Water: Kyogre, Empoleon or any water starter that has fully evolved Ice: Glalie, frosflass, abomasnow Ground: Groudon Bug: Yanmega Dragon: Dialga/Palkia/Giratina/Rayquaza(dialga is the best for me) ?:MASTEROFALL, unknown Pokemon of all time,
im guessing infernape cause infernape is a starter
You can' get Infernape, it's an exclusive starter you can choose at the beginning of the game.
I think the best would be Chimchar. It's final evolution is Infernape. Infernape is very fast and I had mine learn physical and special moves. But the other two starters are very good too. It depends what you like.
if you choose the grass starter then your rival will have an infernape or when you go to the Pokemon league , the 3rd elite four is a fire type user . he will have an infernape.
Infernape is a starter, you need to evolve it from chimchar.
you can`t in Pokemon diamond or pearl you need to chose chimchar as your starter
first of all:when you see question answers about who's the best starter Pokemon in Pokemon diamond\pearl and say a Pokemon the real answer is:there is no best starter Pokemon because empoleon's blizzard takes down torterra and empoleon's hydro cannon beats up infernape.infernape's close combat beats up empoleon infernape's blast burn unnilates torterra.torterra's eartquake tears infernape into peices torterra's frenzy plant slices empoleon.second of all:yes
I got chimchar as a starter Pokemon and after evolving into infernape it could beat water type Pokemon really easily. So I'd say that yes, it is awesome.
Hasty
Yes; I bred my infernape with one and got chimchar eggs :)
the best attack for infernape are bulk up, flamethrower ,thunderpunch and brickbreak
i always used Chimchar in my battles, Infernape is a beast attacker, whereas Empoleon is a great defender, i never used Torterra because i thought he was shizer
