A small, red monkey with a flame for a tail, Chimchar's evolutions could be summarized as getting bigger, gaining blue and white fur, growing golden adornments on its body, gaining a Fighting type, and growing a scalp that bursts into flame. As you can guess, this line eschews defense for pure Speed and offense, making it a valuable asset to any team.
 
* [[The Ace]]: Infernape is fast, can do a lot of damage both with physical and special attacks, has useful STAB against many types and can be taught a wide variety of attacks, plus support moves such as Taunt. Anyone who ''likes to win'' won't regret picking this starter.
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk|Bare Fisted Monkey]]: As Fighting-types, Monferno and Infernape are quite adept at hand-to-hand combat.
* [[Character Select Forcing]]: Need a Fire-type on your team and aren't playing ''Platinum''? Didn't pick Chimchar? '''TOO BAD''' - hope you like Ponyta!

* [[Chrome Champion]]
* [[Dork Age]]: Prinplup is literally a "dork age" for this evolutionary family, during which this starter will be very underwhelming, possibly even [[The Load|drag behind]] some of your other party members. As a Prinplup it seems to be stuck with the same mediocre moves for a long time (especially in Diamond/Pearl where its only Water type move until level 24 is ''Bubble'', a 20 base power move!). Luckily it finally leaves this disappointing phase once it evolves into Empoleon.
* [[Everything's Better with Penguins]]
* [[Extra Ore Dinary]]: Empoleon.
