Turtwig is the second best starter, the best is chimchar. I think that turtwig is a good starter because sometimes it can be hard to find any good grass Pokemon, piplup is ok but personally i wouldn't get it because once you have started the game there is an amazing choice of good water Pokemon (there is a LOT of water Pokemon) , my favourite is milotic which i love to bits. chimchar is very good because there aren't many fire Pokemon at all. i have started with each of these Pokemon and my favourite is chimchar but at the moment i have torterra which is the 3rd stage of turtwigs........thing and he is doing well and i would recommend him!! but if you would want a good starter that isn't one that everybody gets then i would get turtwig because everybody gets chimchar

There are all pretty good Pokemon but my opinion is Chimchar. He evolves into fire/fighting type.
Really, they all have good qualities. Chimchar has good attack, Piplup has good speed, and Turtwig has good defense. I chose Chimchar though, because Infernape (his last evolution ) is Fight/Fire. But Turtwig's final is Torterra which is Grass/Ground, and Piplup's final is Empoleon, which is Water/Steel, so really, it's your choice. But if you NEED an answer, I would say Chimchar.
the best fire Pokemon in pearl version is chimchar ,monferno , and infernapeHeatron is also a good fire Pokemon
Do you mean starter- i think it's chimchar ok that's good but on Pokemon Pearl I think the Popular Pokemon is Piplup and a regular one is Pikachu because If i held a picture of Pikachu everyone would recognise it!! very good answers
Infernape is a good fire-type Pokemon, which is evolved from monferno. Monferno is evolved from the starter Pokemon chimchar. You can get chimchar at the beginning of the game from the professor when he asks you to choose your starter Pokemon.
