I always choose between Cyndaquil or Totodile. Since fire types are not very easy to come by and I absolutely MUST have a fire type in my team, I usually pick Cyndaquil. It's my favourite out of the 3 starters! So cute! I mean, just look at my sig! :3
I also pick Totodile on occasion when I feel like it. He's one powerful water type, to be sure. I used to pick him ALL the time in Gold when I was young. Water types are one of my favourite types after all. :)
To be honest, the first time I played Silver I choose Cyndaquil, and I loved him so much! But every other time after that, I choose Totodile. Totodile is my favorite starter Pokemon.
I usually go with Totodile due to it's access to Ice Punch which really helps with Lance if I don't feel like raising a Dragonite of my own. My first time playing Silver I went with Chikorita though.
I would always pick Totodile because it is a water type Pokemon and I believe that Totodile is the cutest one of the three and has an awesome look once it becomes a Feraligatr. Totodile can learn Ice moves which is a weakness to Chikorita and Cyndaquil is self explanatory.
Totodile because at least then I could feel good about beating my rival since he had Meganium. I like Cyndaquil a lot but Since HG/SS Totodile got better with stuff like Ice Fang and Superpower
I choose Cyndaquil in Crystal Version , because he is the one of the strongest of the few fire pokemon available , and because i always choose fire type.
I always like to choose Cyndaquil but my sister's nickname is Chikorita and I managed to get a female once so there I go, using a Geodude to take down Falkner 3 hits, and Whitney 3 hits. (BTW, use rock smash, I know it sucks but it works and for Miltank use Selfdestruct xD)
First game I ever played was Crystal and picked Feraligatr. Now since I don't use starters I choose Cyndaquil so my rival has Totodile, because Feraligatr fits him the most I think.
In Silver, I started with Totodile. I've always had a thing for the water starter, and Totodile was no exception. Also, that meant the rival would choose the worst starter in my opinion, Chikorita.
