Furret is #1 because he's adorable. Raticate holds a high position because of Hyper Fang / Super Fang and the fact that it's ridiculously strong early-game. Bibarel gets third because of its ability to make Amnesia +4 and Defense Curl +2. That and Charge Beam for +2 is something to be reckoned with. Sentret is next because he's one of the best HM users. Zigzagoon is only there because I hold neutral regards with him. On the one hand, he is one of the only Pokemon that learns Surf in R/S/E outside of the water (other than Makuhita). He also has Pick-Up which sets him higher than the others. Rattata is next because he's a shadow of Raticate, but is still better than the other two after him, whom I hate.
Rattata! I have recently just found new love for this little critter! I don't really like Raticate but I think Rattata is super cool.
I kinda like Sentret too. HATE Zigzagoon, but always catch it in Emerald because it's useful. HATE Bidoof, but... Nah... I just hate it lol.
Rattata. I can't stand its name but it's a nice cute rodent and one of the original 150, which as a child of the time Pokemon became a widespread fad, I find... comforting, I suppose.
I agree with Lightning or her post there. Bidoof is my favourite beginning Pokemon because I personally like it's design and it's not too useless in the games, as it can carry a lot of HM's.
