Chikorita, it's the best for an advanced player.

I chose Totodile, Cyndaquil is too overused and I don't like Chikorita->Meganium.

OP probably meant that Chikorita is best for players who have played the games longer, because Chikorita isn't the easiest starter for the Johto games. Not that if you chose another starter, you aren't an "advanced" player.

At any rate, I first chose Totodile. Then for my current playthrough, I chose Chikorita, who was promptly traded over to Pearl for my planned starter, Machop.

NEW QUESTION

If you could choose another Starter Pokemon from Johto, who would it be?
For me, I would choose Chikorita. I need a strong Grass addition to my team.

Well,
I got HG, and my sister got SS,
So we were able to trade so I could get all of them... (she didn't want them all, but got me to trade each of the evolutions to her to fill her pokedex). :)
My oh my, how I love having a sister who likes pokemon :D We always make sure we get one of the games each from every generation (except for Gen II).

I started with Chikorita because I never really appreaciated grass pokemon and didn't ever bother training any, so starting with one gave me now choice :) And now I think Meganium compliments by team really well.

I was going to start with Totodile, like I always did in the old days, but I noticed that a reliable grass type Pokemon was hard to come by throughout Johto, and since the Grass starters are my favorite I chose Chikorita.

Part of me wishes I would have kept Totodile, but then I wouldn't have my Quagsire, which is one of my favorite Pokemon right now.

Totodile, it's so much more diverse than the other two. Feraligatr is, IMO, the coolest 3rd starter evo ever too :)

Huh, I can only imagine how much easier it'll get with Cyndaquil, if you thought using Totodile and Chikorita made the game too easy already.

My intentions was to start and complete the game with Cyndaquil as my starter. However, I felt as though since everyone was choosing Cyndaquil for their starting Pokémon and it already made the game pretty easy, I'd go for the challenge and choose Chikorita. I can't say I was disappointed with that choice either.

If I were to restart though, I'm thinking of going with Totodile. I seem to have a stronger likeness to it now than I did before.

In Gold/Silver/Crystal, I almost always used Totodile, because Feraligatr is just really cool. I did try each starter at least once back in the day, though. I never really cared for Chikorita->Meganium, and since I had used Totodile->Feraligatr so much, I decided on Cyndaquil for my HeartGold starter.

However, I think I will try Chikorita next time; if I get SoulSilver or restart HeartGold. I've never really given Grass-type starters a chance, except Treecko.

Totodile, 'cause Croconaw is a good HM slave. Well, was. It has sat in a PC Box since I got to Blackthorn.
(Lol, got a female one. Named it "1/8 Chance" because of that :D )

I chose Totodile. I wish I got Chikorita though, because after seeing the Chikorita Rescue episode, it made me love Chikorita.

I started with my Cyndaquil :)

I was initially going to start with Totodile, but changed my mind when I was face to face with those three Pokéballs.
I chose Cyndaquil, but I replaced him later on for Growlithe
