I just love Turtwig so much more than the other two (no offense, they're fine, it's just... look at him!). I can't see myself not picking it again.

Oof. Now I'm thinking Chimchar... see I was playing GO this morning and I battled Sierra, who used a Gliscor, so I thought to myself "man a Gliscor would be fun to use in BDSP since Gligar is (presumably) available fairly early unlike in B2W2," but then I realized that it'd have type overlap with Torterra, which I always prefer to avoid. Of course, I do like the Chimchar line, just not as much as Turtwig. But Gliscor is really cool...
 
Poochama! It’s so adorable and my favorite Sinnoh starter. I’m thinking of not evolving it.
 
Normally I'd choose Chimchar, but if the starters aren't shiny locked, I'm gonna give shiny hunting a starter a shot. Either Chimchar or Piplup.
 
Piplup in Shining Pearl, Chimchar in Brilliant Diamond.
 
always piplup!! honestly i'm treating my eventual run of SP (WHEN IT GETS HERE) as a "OG platinum run but better" and with more team coordination. by which i mean i actually have a plan this time. i didn't have one the first time i ran it lmao.
 
In BD, I chose Chimchar (I have this weird tradition of picking the Fire starter first, in honour of my first ever Pokemon being a Charmander), but I'm going to choose Piplup in SP because . . .
I actually don't know. I just kinda like it, lol.

Also for something different. Since you will be using Piplup, you won't need a Water Type.
