Cyndaquil, hands down for me. Although in TCG, Meganium is a beast. But in the games, I usually start with Fire, so Cyndaquil it is.
 
If I could vote for both poll-wise, it'd be Totodile and Chikorita. Totodile was my first ever Pokemon, and it became my best friend, so of course, Totodile. Chikorita was my second starter Pokemon, and I loved using it. Fire types just don't generally appeal to me.
 
Those spelllings... O_o

And Totodile for me, although Cyndaquil is another favourite that I used on many a playthrough (I had a great level 100 one with the likes of Thunderpunch and Earthquake... ah, those were the days). TBH though I liked all the GSC starters.
 
Typhlosion is one of my favorite Pokémon, and the whole line is awesome, but I really like all the starters in the generation. 2nd generation is my favorite generation as far as starters go.
 
Totodile = my first pokemon ever!!! Therefor it's got to be Totodile. But I like all the gen 2 starters really.
 
Chikorita was my first Pokemon. I'll never forget that moment when I started Silver. All those summer days sitting on the stairs... getting mad because I didn't know that you can't just fish anywhere to find a Remoraid... Stupid game.
 
I guess I'd have to say Cyndaquil. I alternated between it and Totodile when playing through Gold version, but Feraligatr is such a disappointment in comparison to Typholosion so Cyndaquil definitely gets my vote. (The less said about the Chikorita line, the better...)
 
I usually don't like grass types, but Chikorita is so cute!

My second favorite is Cyndaquil, at a close second.
 
I went with Chikorita. I found it to be adorable but once it evolved into Meganium, it's movepool was just a bit too terrible...
 
Totodile forever! Best starter ever. I could sweep each of the GSC games with just my Feraligatr, it was (and is) so beast.
 
I always remember using Bite, Slash, and Surf on Team Rocket's pokaymanz, so I guess Totodile was my favorite starter.

And it always seemed much more difficult to beat the Elite IV with any other starter. I wasn't a person who would EXP grind well in Gold. Feraligatr and Ho-Oh seemed to be the easiest team to use to defeat the Elite IV with.
