For Red/Blue, it's definitely Bulbasaur. At least if you're a battle-minded person. With an advantage over Rock, Ground and Water types, it breezes through Brock and Misty. As for against Lt.Surge, Electric moves don't hurt Grass types much. And by the time you reach the other Gym Leaders, you'll probably have other Pokmon to handle them.

It's easiest to start with Bulbasaur, because of the Gym Leader's types.
Charmander and Squirtle are also nice to start with though.

The first time I chose Charmander and it was a heck of a fight to try and take down Brock when I first had my first version (Blue). Then I got my next version which was red I think and chose Squirtle and everything went by way faster. Er, I was never really a big fan of Bulbasaur simply because it looked ugly and had this big flower lookin thing on it's back (yeah, what I thought a long time ago lol). So yeah, I think Squirtle would be the best one to start out with in the R/B games simply because I guess you'd just have an easier start. Just uh, hope Gary doesn't rip ur pokemon's head off.

I agree with Charizard Fire God. Charizard is awesome. It has higher speed, attack, and SA than the other two, and it can learn better moves (ex. Wing Attack/Fly vs Venusaur's (I don't really know a Psn type attack move for Venusaur... That is if it learns one that exists in R/B/Y (Sludge Bomb does not). EQ kills enemy Pikachu/Raichu. They come out for an easy OHKO and get OHKO'd themselves.

Bulbersuar because he helps you beat the first two gyms.

Bulba helps you early in the game, but Charmander is a powerhouse later. It's your choice whether you want to train other Pokemon (like Butterfree/Beedrill/Pidgey(otto)). Squirtle's in the middle.

Thre is no ''best starter'' all of the starters are good in their own ways, what pokemon you think is the best depends on what sort of pokemon you like ex. Tank, Sweeper or staller. I prefer bulbasaur/ivysaur/venusaur though they are very good tanks.

I am a dedicated Grass-type user. I have NEVER started a game (with the exception of Crystal, and I'd already played Gold) without choosing the Grass-type starter. I know that I dislike the water-starters with a passion. Blastoise is boring, Feraligatr is just weird, and Swampert... well, let's just say I only got it to Marshstomp before I reset the game XD

You can only find out if you like a Pokemon if you try it in battle. I decided I did not like the Water-starter so I restarted. It's really simple. I'll even list it for you.

Blue- Bulbasaur
Yellow- Pikachu (not much of a choice here)
Red- Bulbasaur
Gold- Chikorita
Silver- Don't own (sister started with Totodile)
Crystal 1- Cyndaquil (I own two Crystals)
Crystal 2- Chikorita (Kept unevolved throughout the whole game)
Ruby- Treeko
Sapphire- Treeko
Sapphire Reset- Torchic
Sapphire Reset 2- Mudkip
Sapphire Reset 3- Treeko
Sapphire Reset 4- Treeko
Emerald- Treeko
Emerald Reset- Torchic
Leaf Green- Bulbasaur
Leaf Green Reset- Charmander
Leaf Green Reset 2- Squirtle
Leaf Green Reset 3- Bulbasaur (kept unevolved throught the whole game)
Leaf Green Reset 4- Charmander
