Turtwig's my favourite overall.
I like the way he looks (Turtles are lovely) and I simply L-O-V-E Torterra's type combination and awesome STAB.
Even though it comes with a 4x weakness, it's also advantaging: Torterra can't be paralyzed (exceptions are Stun Spore, which almost no one uses and Static but pokemon that have the ability are pretty rare), is immune to Sandstrom (a HUGE plus) and takes less Stealth Rock damage than other starters.
The low Speed is a HUGE advantage and here's why: Trick Room. Two short words.
Under Trick Room (Brave) Torterra becames a hellish terminator that sweeps half a team (and sometimes even more) until Trick Room is over (Or Life Orb recoil faints it).
Torterra may need team support BUT when used correctly it's a NIGHTMARE to its opponent.
But here's Top 5:
1. Turtwig
2. Mudkip
3. Cyndaquil
4. Bulbasaur
5. Chikorita
And last, regional choices:
Kanto: Bulbasaur
Johto: Chikorita
Hoenn: Mudkip
Sinnoh: Turtwig
Isshu: Pokabu
Well, of all, I like the grass starters most. Of the grass starters, I like Bulbasaur the best, it's not even funny, and it's a HUGE gap between my second favorite, which is Treeko.
If pokemon was real I would choose Charmander in real life bcause charizard can fly.
But my favorite one is Squirtle because.. I LIKE TURTLES!(It's true)
