Pikachu and Lucario are the cleverest ones to pick. Mewtwo is also an option if you can unlock him in Super Smash Bros Melee, or if you can get him als DLC for Super Smash Bros 4. Too bad he isn't in Super Smash Bros Brawl, though.
Maybe because it's just random button mashing and hoping that will work out? I don't know, it's probably more fun when you actually know what you're doing.
Are the Pokémon characters a clever pick to play with?
Meganium has always struck me as one starter that should have more females than males due to it's feminine appearance. Delphox is another one this applies to I think.
It is often seen as it, isn't it? In Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team you can only play as Chikorita if you say you're female in the personality test. Ironically, seven out of eight Meganium are male.

We're on Totodile now. Seeing it's a favorite of a couple of people here, it's probably going to be saved instantly.
