I always prefer bulbasaur, leech seed and toxic is really OP in RBY. Plus the movest of bulbasaur could be used in more interesting ways than blastoise or charizard. TBH I would always prefer squirtle the least as once you get the super rod or surf capability, water types are in great abundance and some are far more intersting to use than blastoise is.
 
I never played the first generation pokémon with bulbasaur.
Dont know why, i never liked that grass pokémon. Looked not awesome enough.

A Dragon or a turtle with 2 cannons on it, was way cooler than a green creature with a flower.

My very first playthrough on pokémon red: Squirtle.
 
I've always started with Charmander. Charizard has always been my favorite pokemon. Which explains why every new game I always start with the fire pokemon. The exception being pokemon black and white. I started with Snivy because he looked cool. I actually hated black and white. For the love of it I just could not get into the game at all. But I think that was the only time I broke my fire choosing cycle. Tepig just reminded me of a fat Gannondorf.
 
During my first ever Red run I picked Squirtle. I felt the need to repeat that decision in the re-releases. It was often one of the only Pokemon I ever needed to complete a playthrough.
 
Charmander! He was my first ever Pokemon, and I like how he sounds in the anime too haha.
 
I love them all (particularly Bulbasaur!!) but I'll have to go with Charmander here. The first ever starter I owned on the first ever playthrough I did.... Charmander just means a lot to me. ♥ Plus I love Fire-types, though some other types do top that heheh.
 
I always choose Pikachu, I like electric Pokemon even they have low defense...
As for R/B I like to take Charmander!
 
Nowadays, Id pick Charmander cause Charizard became my favorite Kanto pokemon during the years. But for the actual re-releases of the game I picked Squirtle for old time's sake.

I picked Squirtle way back then as my first Pokémon. And it's still one of my faves today. All 3 Kanto starters are special to me though.
 
I always went for whichever the cart colour matched - I think I originally had blue so it was Squirtle.
 
I'm surprised Bulbasaur is doing so well. He was always definitely the third wheel when it came to the starters.

Or I guess fourth wheel, considering.
 
I love starting with Charmander, always game a me a better sense of challenging.

I will add I recently started up RBY on my PC and I cheated a bit, by giving myself all 3. What I did was save right before Getting the choice, then after choosing charmander on my main, I used the back up saves to transfer the other 2. muahahha! (I figured I'll never be able to play/trade with anyone on emu version so.. oh well)

Since I got Yellow it will have to be Pikachu...sigh.
When I find Squirtle, he will be getting left let me tell you! Unless there's a Thunder Stone, then I'll be evolving him at least. :3
