This isn't exclusive to DPPt, so I moved it to General.

My favorite starter is Cyndaquil. I like its final starter's pure fire tying, typhoon+explosion name origin, fire bursting from its back, and awesome blue+yellow design. roar.

My favourite starter has always been Treecko, but I also like some of the other's evolutions (Bayleef and Prinplup)

It's Draggy, what did you expect?

I usually don't have a favourite starter in any of the Pokemon Generations; but for B/W it's forced an exception. However, if I had to choose for each generation it'd be as follows:

Kanto: Bulbasaur.
Johto: Cyndaquil.
Heonn: Treecko.
Sinnoh: Chimchar.
Isshu/Unova: Pokabu.

Kanto: Charmander (because Charizard is epic and has a good movepool), Squirtle (because it's a Water type)

Johto: Totodile (same reason as Squirtle)

Hoenn: All of them

Sinnoh: All of them

Unova: Oshawott (Daikenki is appealing in terms of design; part of its armor is a sword)

Uecil

By region, including all stages:

Kanto: Charmeleon, Wartortle
Johto: Quilava
Hoenn: Combusken, Marshtomp
Sinnoh: Empoleon
Isshu: Mijumaru

Overall...

Spoiler:
Quilava! lol surprise of the century
BURY ME SIX FEET DEEP COVER ME IN CONCRETE

I always have to start out by going by each generation so here it is...

Kanto: Bulbasaur
Johto: Totodile
Hoenn: Torchic
Sinnoh: Piplup
Unova: Oshawott

I try to base my overall favorite on the starter that I had the least complaints about at every stage. Even though Blaziken ended up being a goddess to me I never cared for Combusken. So I'm going to have to go with Bulbasaur. I love all it's stages and I've never had a problem using it. Ivysaur especially is one of my all time favorite stages of all the starters.

For the record I can't believe how much my opinion has changed on the starters since last answering this question. :o
