I usually always pick fire, so Torchic for me. I haven't had the opportunity to play FireRed yet, but I'd definitely pick Charmander.

Reason is, I haven't been able to play my GBA games for a long time till just recently. I have both Ruby and Sapphire now, but stores don't like carrying old GBA games anymore, so it's going to be a little tough finding myself FireRed.

I would paint an entire building for it though.

Fire types always.

Though... I like Feraligatr and Sceptile a lot, so sometimes I pick these instead of Typhlosion and Blaziken.

In FireRed I choose Charmander since It's my favorite Pokemon back then.... :)

In Ruby I chose Treecko, Damn he really looks cool in the Anime! :)

And in Emerald I chose Mudkip so I can easily beat the Gyms.... :)

Treecko is way too overrated by you guys :\ I chose it once, and it was really baaad... I'd always choose Torchic in Gen III.
In Gen I, I'd either choose Squirtle or Charmander. Bulbasaur is great, too, but I don't really like it that much, so yeah...

Mudkip, and than on my 2nd play through of sapphire I chose Treeko. On Firered I chose Squirtle, he is now a level 100 blastoise, and Ive had him since childhood, transferring him across every new pokemon game that comes out. His name is Sqwert, since I could not spell that well when I got the game around the age of six or seven. On my leaf green I chose charmander.

If I remember correctly (the first time I played Sapphire and LeafGreen were nine and eight years ago, respectively), I chose Torchic and Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur was probably the best starter in FR/LG for me since it blitzed through the first two gyms. I chose Torchic because it was cute. XD

I chose Torchic during my first run of Ruby. And when I got my hands on Leaf Green, I chose Squirtle ^_^

Torchic and Squirtle, respectively. Normally, I'm a fire type mogul, but Firered (ironically) was my first ever Pokemon game, and I always though Blastoise was a badass. So I picked the turtle over the salamander. =P

I'm a sucker for Fire types, so naturally, when I started Emerald, Cyndaquil was my selection. Doesn't help me much in the water, but there seems to be an abundance of Grass types to deal with them and few Fire types by comparison, so I cover that base immediately.

This means I will likely choose Charmander in Fire Red. However, as I now want to push a Shiny Nincada to Generation V as soon as possible, I have to try to complete at least SoulSilver and Emerald right now, and I'm hoping to get it cloned at that point. I can hope. :)

I choose Mudkip and charmander. Charmander has always been a favorite of mine and Mudkip is a perfect pokemon to start with in R/S/E

Bulbasaur, I just felt as if that Pokemon was epic. And Torchic, for my Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire. :D

FireRed: Charmander.
Not surprising coming from a Charitard...
Emerald: Mudkip
Swampert is awesome! He didn't get enough love in the anime...

I always pick Mudkip in RSE and Charmander in FRLG. At times I pick Torchic and Squirtle in RSE and FRLG respectively but I already set Mudkip and Charmander up as defaults.
