Apparently, if you beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Emerald, and complete the Hoenn Pokemon, Professor Birch is supposed to call you and offer you to pick one of the Johto starters.:) I'm working towards this right now, but I need to know what other people think.
I wanted to pick the least popular one, so that I can trade for the others.

If I recall correctly, you get it after you've captured 200 (Not 202) Hoenn Pokemon. You also get the National Dex as well as a Johto starter to get you on your way. I'd choose Totodile, he did a lot of great things back in the 2nd Gen.
Wrong. You don't earn the National Dex when completing the Hoenn Dex. This is not D/P/Pt. You get the National Dex after beating the Elite Four for the first time.

As for choosing the starter, I would probably pick Totodile since I usually choose the water Pokemon in every generation. If you want a least popular Pokemon like you mentioned earlier, you should probably choose Chikorita. Grass starters are usually the least popular in every generation. Fire starters are extremely overated and everyone usually picks those. Water starters are probably in the middle in terms of popularity.

The fire pokemon are always the best pick. Even though the water type gym leader is REALLY hard to beat with it...they look the coolest.

Cyndaquil easily.
It's my favorite out of the Johto Starters.
