    • I chose Mudkip in my initial run through Sapphire, and Squirtle in both my first run through Red and through Leaf Green. My very first pick was always the Water starter until Diamond (I choose Chimchar instead)

    • In every single game that I've ever owned except for Diamond (Where I picked Turtwig) and Yellow (where you were Pika-Screwed), I've picked the fire starter. Now all I have is FR and EM, with Charmander and Blaziken. After I migrate them to my Diamond, I'm going to restart and get the waters.

    • For me, it was:

    Ruby & Sapphire: Torchic & Treecko (respectively)
    Emerald: Torchic
    FireRed: Charmander
    LeafGreen: Squirtle

    For RSE, I chose what I did, because I wasn't, and still am not, keen on Mudkip; despite the advantages it holds. Torchic was the first Fire type I chose from first playing a Generation-based game, (since Generation I & II had me choosing Squirtle and Totodile, respectively) Treecko, again, was chosen over Mudkip because of my disliking for it, and currently, I still have never used Mudkip, except for Marshtomp; its evolution, in a Battle Tent.

    I obtained LeafGreen, first, and thus, continued my choice of starting with the Water type Starter, since other than Generation III, the Water type was a high-stander for me, above the other types for that Generation, but due to the different Legendary dogs you could obtain, in FR/LG, when I obtained FireRed, I chose Charmander, to obtain the next Legendary dog. (as I had obtained Raikou, from LG, and already restarted with Bulbasaur)

    Ruby-Torchic
    Sapphire-Torchich
    Emerald-Mudkip (I was able to nick name it IHerdULiek XD)
    Leaf Green-Squirtle

    • well, it might seem weird, but i refuse to break from my habit of always picking the fire starter. which has led to man hours of level grinding before a gym, and has also led to having their final form before the third gym on at least 4 occasions.

    The odd things about my choices were that the ones I originally picked turned out not to be my favourites.

    So for Red, I picked Squirtle (admittedly this was the very first time I ever saw Pokémon), but now my favourite is Charmander.

    For Silver (and Crystal) I chose Cyndiquil, though now I prefer Chikorita.

    Ruby was the only one I got it right which was Mudkip.

    So yes, my tastes appear to have changed over the years.
