    Here we are, in generation order (insert Top of the Pops music here):

    I(+III remake): Charmander
    II: Chikorita
    III (Hoen): Mudkip
    IV: Dunno, I haven't got it. By the looks of them I don't really like any of them, which is a first :\

  • Gen. 1: Squirtle (Best Starter IMO)
    Gen. 2: Totodile (When trained well it's a deadly beast)
    Gen. 3: Torchic (Meh, I really didn't like the starters at all, but playing the ROM through seemed easy with this one)
    Gen. 4: Piplup (Best starter for this one because Empoleon in the long run will have some good defense when trained well)

    As you can see, Water is my type choice for starters.

  • Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, and Chimchar are my favorite types from each region. But, my favorite would have to be Charmander. I always choose the fire types even though I'm not a huge fan of fire types. =P

  • *Kanto region*
    = Squirtle

    *Johto region*
    = Chikorita

    *Hoenn region*
    = Treecko

    *Sinnoh region*
    = Piplup

    No fire types? Apparently, they're un-loved by me. D:

    Kanto: Squirtle

    Johto: Chikorita

    Hoenn: Torchic

    Sinnoh: Piplup

    I don't really care for the hoenn starters all that much, but torchic would have to be the one I dislike the least.

  • Kanto Region: Generation I

    Squirtle
    Charmander
    Bulbasaur

    Johto Region: Generation II

    Totodile (Cyndaquil came very close, though)
    Cyndaquil
    Chikorita

    Hoenn Region: Generation III

    Torchic
    Treecko

    Sinnoh Region: Generation IV

    Piplup
    Turtwig
    Chimchar


    The defining difference in my list is Torchic; due to the fact that I rather dislike Mudkip, (regardless of how "awesome it becomes") Torchic was the other of two Starters that Generation III had that I liked. Treecko was good, but I preferred Torchic, in all honesty.
    - Noticed how at least one Starter has been a bird of sorts that does not have Flying as its other type, in the past two Generations? On top of that, there have been two consecutive Fire/Fighting Starters.

    Cyndaquil very nearly came close to toppling Totodile, however. I guess for Starter Pokemon, Generation II was probably the strongest, for me, while Generation III was the weakest. Both Generation I and II hold Starters of which all three I like, however, Generation II holds more "points" towards it.

  • My favourites from each generation:

    First Generation - Charmander
    Second Generation - Cyndaquil
    Third Generation - Mudkip
    Fourth Generation - Piplup

    Looks like I started off training just fire-type starters, then switched over to the water-types. Those are my two favourite types, so it works out.

    My favourite starters overall: Charmander, Cyndaquil, Chikorita, Mudkip

    Know what? We are officially twins. No kidding. *nods twice*

    Kanto: Squirtle (and is still my fave starter of all time <3)
    Johto: Totodile/Cyndaquil. I usually toss a coin to decide on this one :]
    Hoenn: that would be Torchic :3
    Sinnoh: Piplup.

    My Favourite starters are the Hoenn ones because they break the sterotypes, like Treeco is the only grass starter not to walk on all fours and they all have great types, like Mudkip is an awesome mix of ground and water.
