I'm definitely a fire type person. So Cyndaquil.

Though Chimchar is awesome, I prefer pure fire types to fire/fighting, though I will admit it can be useful, I just prefer straight up fire. :3
 
I chose Turtwig for my playthrough, before having an incomplete game with my Piplup which I ditched (still feel sorry...). Because he looks nice and of course I am in love with Torterra's ability to beat both starters!
And of course, as per my Water type tradition I took Totodile after having a nice breezing playthrough with it in Gold.
 
Grass types all the way. I chose Chikorita in SoulSilver but ended up replacing him with Dragonite later on in the game. I chose Turtwig in Pearl and kept him the whole way through, mainly to use ground type moves after he evolved in to Torterra.
 
I always pick the fire starter.
 
I didn't know Piplup was that popular among fans but yea I did pick Piplup as my starter.
For HG/SS it was Cyndaquil still.
 
Didn't have to think about it much since I was going to use all three Sinnoh starters, I picked Piplup in Diamond, Turtwig in pearl and Chimchar in Platinum. Chimchar however is my preferred out of the three.

In HG/SS I picked Totodile and Cyndaquil, never liked using Chikorita...
 
I chose Chimchar. After seeing Piplupe's motionless body when my sister had her file, I decided I prefer monkey butt to motionless penguins. :x
 
I tend to always choose the fire starters, except for in Hoenn. So here it's Cyndaquil and Chimchar. I just feel comfortable having a fire starter. I always keep my starter on my team and Fire is a good type to keep. Especially Fire/Fighting; even though I agree that three such starters in a row was a bit over the top, I still enjoy the typing.
 
I usually choose fire types, but in Diamond I didn't like Chimchar that much so Piplup was my choice!

As for HG/SS: Cyndaquil, because fire. :D
