    I personally always like Charmander and Bulbasaur. Those are perfect Pokemon Red starters.

    Charmander's the one I always pick. There aren't many good fire pokémon in the old games (?what to replace Charizard with in that case?) and I sorta feel handicapped without one.
    But okej, Bulbasaur is the cutest and the smoothest one. Leech seed+poisonpowder+cute bulb, what more to say? :)

    Magmar, Rapidash, Arcanine, and Ninetails are pretty good fire pokemon.

    ok heres the breakdown

    charmander- hardest to start out with, charizard is weakest of the three
    squirtle- easy to start out with, my personal favorite, solid in the end
    bulbasaur- once you get him to lvl 14, its really easy to beat the first 2 gyms, venasaur is also good, but his big move solar beam is annoying to use sometime.

    Charizard isn't the weakest, Starting with a Charmander is harder yes, but most of us like a challenge, not something I could do in my sleep.

    Well I've always thought Rapidash had strange stats, Arcanine isn't available until way into the game and I can't get Ninetales or Magmar in Yellow, which is what I played ^^ But in the long run, I guess you're right.

    You can buy a Vulpix in Yellow's Game Corner and evolve it with a Fire Stone.

    Bulbasaur is the one who takes the cake and stomps out the rest. Woot woot.

    But I must say, Squirtle is cute.

    I almost always chose Charmander, they're just awesome! lol.

    Water Pokemon are my favorite but I don't know...I just didn't really like having Squirtle as my starter. I don't really like Grass Pokemon, so I almost never chose Bulbasaur.

    Charamander! I like Bulbasaur- a lot, but y'know charamander is just a bit better. It's somewhat a pain to beat Brock with Charmander though.

    If you have Red ad Blue, ad you picked a Charmander in Red, trade a Bulbasaur from Blue for another Pokemon, and you have two starters, plus an edge against Brock. Beware, the traded starters get a little rebellious around levels 10-11.
