    cyndaquil. My first pokemon ^_^, since then i've always picked fire as a starter :classic:

    Heh, there's something to be said for one's first Pokemon... I think I'll always have a soft spot for my Gold Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion. But I'm also really, really fond of my Emerald Torchic/Combuskin/Blaziken. So it's a tie.

    Taking it by generations:

    GSC: Cyndaquil. He's so cute, and then he evolves to be daaamn strong as Typhlosion. :3
    RSE: Torchic. I wasn't wild about any of the Hoenn Starters because I thought their designs were rubbish, but I chose Torchic when I restarted Emerald and was blown away by how strong she is.
    FR/LG: Bulbasaur. He was my favourite Starter in the RBY games too, although my first ever run-through was played with Squirtle -.-

    Overall though, it's Bulbasaur all the way. Even though I'm not wild about Venusaur (he looks like he has acne!).

    Kanto: Bulbasaur, though all three are okay. Personally, I liked the Grass starters on the whole except for Turtwig.
    Johto: Chikorita, with Totodile as second.
    Hoenn: TREECKO! ...or Torchic. Mudkip is okay, too.
    Sinnoh: Piplup.

    That's way too hard of a choice D:
    But I'd have to say Torchic or maybe Cyndaquil.
    It seems Fire-types are both cute and when they evolve really strong.

    It's pretty hard to make a fair decision as I always picked starters by some feeling and they always prove to be strong. Well, I kinda have 4 favorites: Charmander, Totodile, Mudkip and Chimchar. Yeah, no grass types, probably cause grass and bug types are common early in game.

    I like all the Kanto starters especially Squirtle, but Wartortle looks odd :/.
