Moltres was my personal favorite, as it is a simple, yet fiery birdy. (Budumcha~)

It's simple Kiwi like body and the fact it's on fire make it quite appealing to me, but I'm a general Fire Type lover~
 
My favorite is zapdos because of it's appearance (a thunderbird) unique typing, well rounded stats, great movepool, and its viability in the competitive side of pokemon battles. =)
 
I always loved Zapdos the most, but I used Articuno most in the elite four because he could help me with Lance, and I already had Riachu so I didn't need another electric type. and Moltres is good, but he always sits in my box.
 
My favorite was always Moltres because I love Fire Types and their designs. But I don't like that it losses half of its hp from Stealth Rock. :[
 
I really loved fire types when I was a kid so Moltres used to be my favorite, no question.

As I've grown up though, I've really started to appreciate Articuno's elegance and it was always the main Pokemon I liked to use in Pokemon Stadium when fighting the elite four, so I have to go with Articuno as being my favorite.

I always catch all three whenever I do a standard run through of the Kanto games.
 
Definitely Zapdos
First of all I like the name Zapdos
Secondly In My opinion Zapdos looks way More better and Badass than The other 2 I mean like Come on

[[Articuno Looks girly and Looks like it has a beard]]

Last but Not least Since Moltres beats articuno [Flamethrowered] and Articuno dosent beat anyone and No one can beat zapdos Whereas Zapdos Can just Thunder these 2 mother******* [Flying Types] And 1HKO
 
I'm going to say Articuno, because he looks the best, and I love Ice-types.
 
It's a toss-up for me. Zapdos has the best stat spread of the three, Articuno has the best natural move set, and Moltres can make the best use of both physical and special attacks as well as the fact that it learns Sky Attack.

As far as the triangle goes, Moltres has an advantage to Articuno (Fire > Ice), Articuno has an advantage against Zapdos (Ice > Flying), and Zapdos has an advantage to both (Electric > Flying).

Overall it looks like Zapdos, but each has merit. I like Articuno the most, so it got my vote.
 
I caught all 3 of them and left them in the PC cos its not me to train legendaries. I like Moltres the best, though, when I was young, Moltres was so difficult to draw, I drew a Zaptos instead.
 
My fav is Zapdos, it was the first of the 3 birds I figured out how to pronounce, Articuno was a big word for me as a kid and moltres was like "moll-tree-z" pluz I liked the look of zapdoz
 
Just like 70% of everyone here, Zapdos is my favourite out of the three birds. Competitive-wise it's the best choice out of the 3 since Moltres and Articuno have a x4 weakness to rock and they have other weaknesses too. Zapdos' only weaknesses are ice- and rock-type moves but the damage is x2. Personally, I like Zapdos' looks and the fact that he's an Electric-type which happens to be my favourite type. Moltres looks like a naked Phoenix, but Articuno is the most beautiful out of the three. Anyway, Zapdos is what my vote goes for.
 
Easily has to be Zapdos. Its type combination just makes it far superior to the other two. I am a fan of Articuno however. I have a bit of a nostalgic connection to it since it was my first legendary.
