Infernape

Infernape was James' starter Pokémon in Pokémon Platinum. As such, she was the first Pokémon to join James' team.

History
James chose to use Infernape in Platinum because Chimchar is his favorite out of the 3 Sinnoh starters and he's used it the most, plus it fit better in the overall team while planning out who he was going to use.
