I'd have to say that this time, I'm going with Chikorita. I've been playing around with one in Pearl, and I'd have to say that it's much better than people are giving it credit for. When it comes time for me to choose, though, I'm hoping for an Adamant Chikorita. It's a defensive powerhouse, and with it being Adamant, it would lower it's Sp.ATK, but raise it's ATK, and most of what the Chikorita line learns are physical attacks. Can't wait! :D
