    To be honest, it would have to be a cross between gen. II and gen. V. I love all three starters in both gens. and their final evolutions, and I love their designs, too. Gen. III is somewhat close but I'm not a big fan of Torchic's evos. too much. It also took me a while to like Squirtle in gen. I whereas I fell in love with all the starters in gens. II and V almost immediately.

    I'm with Zeffy on the nostalgia thing. I ~LOVE~ gen. V and its starters and it'll stay that way for a long while!

    I personally think that all starters are completely overrated.

    Since you want me to give an actual answer, though... I would have to say Generation One. I just loved Squirtle and Charmander - who could beat those?!

    GI or GII, after that I never really liked them, and even sometimes removed them from my squad entirely.

    I can't decide!! :D

    Gen 1: Adore Charizard with a burning passion, as for the other lines, I like Wartortle and Ivysaur slightly

    Gen 2: Love Typhlosion's line, Chikorita's is okay and I like Totodile and Feraligatr

    Gen 3: Treecko's line rules, I like Torchic, can't stand the Mudkip line

    Gen 4: Piplup's line's my favourite, I'm in the middle with Turtwig's and I can't stand Chimchar's at all

    Gen 5: Love Snivy and Samurott, not overly fond of Tepig and its evolutions

    Hmm... I was hoping if I laid it all out like that it would help, but it doesn't lol :D

    I have to give this one to Generation II. None of them were weird. Well neither were the Generation I ones, but I'm sure they get enough love as it is for being from Generation I lol.

    I don't really care for the Generation V starters, but I haven't played the game yet.

    It's a close tie between Gen I and Gen II.
    Gen I because it was first, obviously and because Blastoise is so cool. :3
    Gen II because it's my favorite Generation and Typhlosion is the best.

    I like the versatility of the starters in generation four. The fact that they all had unique traits and aesthetics made them all seem like three excellent starters. The other generations had this idea but none were implemented as well as generation four. Furthermore, their battling prowess was.. Amazing. No other generation of starters, in my opinion, were as good for all around battling in the games as the generation four starters.

    I really love them all, except gen 4, where my favourite one is piplup which is ok. the other two are boring.
    as for my favourite chain of starters, it's probably gen 2 with gen 1 & 5 closely behind. chikorita, cyndaquil and totodile are all really cool starters, and I find it even more difficult to choose which one is my favourite. :(

    Gen III.
    Ha! You thought I was gonna pick Gen. 5, but you were wrong! I'm so awesome because 3rd Gen is!

    Treecko is awesome
    Torchic is awesome
    Mudkip is awesome
    but Mijumaru is the best

    Second gen no doubt. I can't really come up with an actual reason, it's just because they're what I started with in my first pokemon playthrough.

    Gaaah, that's a toughie... Both Gen II and III starters were awesome. Dx I think I'll go with Gen III though, since I really love all three of the starters, but with Gen II, I easily overlook Cyndaquil. =/

    Gen I is my favorite generation of starters, because I grew up with it ever since I was around 7 years old (and aside from nostalgia factor, charizard and blastoise owns all. venusaur isn't as cool as those two but still awesome), though Gen II and III comes close for favorites.
