Preferred starter Pok?mon type?

Like most people, I go straight for the Fire-Type everytime I get my hands on a version for the first time; Cyndquil, Charmander... Except in Ruby and Emerald. Torchic? Fire/Fighting? BLASPHEMY! So I chose Treeko instead. And because lizards are cute.

I'd love to start off with a Cyndaquil again, though. I absolutely love Typhlosions. <3
 
My type kept switching. In a way, it was nice to eventually experience three different type starters. I chose Squirtle in the old games and FRLG, Chikorita in GSC and Torchic in RSE (even though I only have Ruby)
I guess I dont shoot for a certain element, I kinda go for the best-looking and the cutest.
 
I normally go with water. Occasionally I'll go with the grass type, but it's usually water.
 
I starting with water (except RSE, which I usually go with Torchic :3).
Water is usually pretty good with teh first gym leaders, and you have a Pokemon that knows Surf by the time you get it. *has to have a water Pokemon or else she goes insane XD*

After that, I'd say grass. I like the grass starters ^^;
 
I prefer water, but sometimes I like to go with grass, never Fire though.
 
i started with Torchic in pokemon emerald and Cydaquil(after you get 200 pokemon in your Hoenn dex go to Prof.Birch and he'll ask you if you want a Todaile,Chickorita or Cydaquil(your rival happens to be there aswell)
 
fire all the way. altho I do sometimes choose water types sometimes. but Fire starters are really cool and I would pefer Vapereon as my water type. (the only exception I always go for water type is in XD, gale of darkness)
 
Water I suppose.I've always found the water types with less disadvantages,much the less in the Kanto and Hoenn games the first gym leader would have a disadvantage O_o

More than that,the water types are the kawaii ones <3
 
Lessee...for Kanto, I'd choose Charmander. For Johto, I'd choose Chikorita. For Hoenn, I'd choose Torchic (and never evolve it. Blaziken looks like a disfigured disco guy o_O). It differs each generation; I tend to lean on the fire side majority of the time. Although..if there was such a thing as a Pichu for a starter, I'd *so* go with that one. <3
 
I always use water. You could breeze through the game because water is such a balanced type and because the water starter always tends to have balanced stats. You could breeze through the game if you choose water because it is good against a lot of gym leaders. And because I just like water Pokemon in general. :)

If the starter is a bird, I will choose it even if it sucks because I <3 birds. I tend to choose fire even though the game is biased towards them. In Blue I chose Bulbasaur, but I chose Cyndaquil in Gold, Torchic in Ruby, and Charmander in Leaf Green.
