charizard is OBVIOUSLY the best. he's a fire dragon! he's strong, good move set, awesome design... and he's a dragon! [er-hm did I say that twice?] ... or close to one at least. close enough for me to love him
between blastoise and venasaur it took me a few seconds to decide, but of course I had to choose blastoise. he's a freakin' turtle with cannons coming out of his shell! what's not to love?
venasaur comes last, which is kinda sad, because he's pretty good too.
the starters for the first generation are the all-time BEST
