    Blue - Squirtle (I always loved it in the show, and it was blue, so...)
    Red - Charmander (Bulbasaur is a dork.)

    Silver - Cyndaquil (ADORABLE <3)
    Gold - Cyndaquil (See above.)
    Crystal - Cyndaquil (Why mess with perfection? ;3 )

    Ruby - Mudkip (MUDKIPZ.)
    Emerald - Torchic (I ended up liking it better than Mudkip later.)
    FireRed - Squirtle (It's always a good choice.)

    Pearl - Chimchar (Ohai D/P, where are all the other fire types?)
    Platinum - Piplup (Hooray for being able to pick up a Houndour! :3 )

    Let's see...

    Yellow - Pikachu, who else? But out of the starters that I was given in the game, I chose Charmander.
    Silver - Cyndaquil, 'cause I thought he was cute
    Sapphire - Torchic, because I luffs teh chickens.
    LeafGreen - Charmander, since I'm not a fan of Squirtle or Bulbasaur. (I'm starting to notice a pattern of my choice of starter...)
    Pearl - Piplup! Because she looks so huggable! And for once I didn't like a fire starter.

    R/B - Didn't play
    Yellow - Guess..
    Crystal - Chikorita then i got tired of her and chose Totodile (hes better and Feraligatr kix ass!)
    Sapphire - Treeko. cuz i like absord and it gave me a nice advantage over kyogre
    Emerald - Torchic. Has to be my favorite starter. (not favorite fire type)
    LeafGreen - Chamander, my first time on Japanease version was auctually Bulbasour.
    Diamond - Piplup, then i saw it sucks and deleted the game (played on emulator, barely got to Eterna city)
    Platinum - Piplup, but I'm trading a friend and he gives me Totodile instead so i will go with totodile. so my starter is Totodile (Best water starter in my opinion)

    Diamond-Piplup

    well I think at some point I've chosen them all at least once but as for which ones I generally start with I'd have to say this

    Blue-Bulbasaur (I'm always loved grass pokemon from the start)
    Red-Bulbasaur/Squirtle (Usually I started with Bulbasaur, but when I owned both I'd start with Squirtle in order to have it in my Blue version)
    Silver-Cynderquil (I just liked the look of him)
    Gold-Chickorita (I loved grass, but I loved Cynderquil more, so I traded Chickorita to Silver as soon as I had the chance)
    Yellow-ISN'T IT OBVIOUS :o
    Crystal-Totodile (I just wanted to play through with him)
    Sapphire-Treeko (Grass-duh)
    If I were to play the new ones I'd probably be stuck between Piplup and Turtwig (I love penguins, but Turtwig does look kinda appealing)

    Red- Bulbasaur
    Silver- Cyndaquil
    Crystal- Cyndaquil (though I used the trick to get all three
    Ruby- Mudkip
    Emerald- Well, I found a used copy of the game and am playing through the current file, which would make it Torchic, but eventually I'll start over and choose Mudkip again...
    Diamond- Turtwig

    Emerald: Mudkip
    Leafgreen: Charmander
    Pearl: Piplup

    I have always gone with the fire type:
    Red: Charmander
    Yellow: Charmander
    Gold: Cyntaquil
    Chrystal: Cyntaquil
    Ruby:Torchic
    Emerald: Torchic
    FireRed: Charmander
    Diamond: Chimchar
    Platinum: Chimchar
    (Has anyone else noticed that the fire pokemon starter always starts with a "C" except for Torchic?)
    R/G/B/Y/FR/LG - C-C-C
    G/S/C - C-Q-T
    R/S/E - T-C-B
    D/P/P - C-M-I

    Red - Bulbasaur (I just love Bulbasaur and its evolutions.)
    Blue - Charmander (A Normal-type challenge so I'm not using it, unfortunately.)
    Emerald - Mudkip (Swampert is nicer than Sceptile, and I have used Blaziken way too many times.)
    Diamond - Piplup (As I had already had Turtwig I had to choose between Piplup and Chimchar - and I don't really like Chimchar yet I love Piplup.)

    Those are what I have right now in my games. But of course, because the type doesn't matter to me, I have tried out all the possible starters there are in the games, except for Chimchar.
