Charmander, because its a lizard that turns into a dragon. I love me some cold-blooded killing machines. He does not feel compasion for his foe, HES F'ING CHARIZARD!

Pokédex entry = Seemingly possessed, it spews fire like a volcano, trying to burn all it sees.

Have you tried reading some of the pokedex entries in the pokemon games... some get preaty dark.

Squirtle. I went for practicality over style since I knew the first gym master used mostly Rock and Ground types.

Bulbasaur. Why? Probably the best grass type in the game. Good against the first three gym leaders, along with Geovanni. Also a bamf for the many dungeons in the game.

I know Charmander was always more popular, but I never chose one more than once or twice. Why?
1. Fire types are weak (Good against...grass? bug? ice? Who uses bug? And there are only two ice pokemon in the entire game who aren't also water type. They're also weak against ground, rock, and water types, which are probably the most commonly encountered types in Red and Blue.*)
2. There were better fire pokemon (Arcanine, Ninetails)
3. Charizard picks up flying, which ruins him because it just adds another flyer to your roster that I can take down in one hit with Jolteon...

*EDIT: Besides normal and flying types, that is...

What? Bulbasaur, forever alone? Venusaur is badass! A dinosaur with a flower on its back could kick anything's ass!

But if we're talking any game, I 100% must say Totodile. Feraligatr is my favorite Pokemon, hands down.

Personally I'd go for a different generation but I went with Squirtle in the first generation because Charizard gets insta-killed whenever he goes into combat and is really fat (Which makes him suck IMO), Venesaur has some use as a sleep powder pokemon and Blastoise is Blastoise making him the better of the three.

Heres my pick for each generation:

1. Squirtle
2. Cyndaquil
3. Treeko (I like all three but he's slightly better)
4. Piplup (Favorite of all of them)
5. Oshawott or Snivy

The second and fourth gen have my favorite Starters (Empoleon and Typhlosion) but the third gen comes up right behind them, then the 5th gen and first generation

As a guy who has grown up since the beggining with this stuff, Its somewhat funny for me to realize that I am one of those few people who like newer pokemon over older pokemon as time goes on.

Im quite the water type guy, then grass, then fire. Why? I don't know, I like Torchic and Cyndaquil the most out of the fire starters but then again thats all the fire types I really like. I guess its just convenient weaknesses that ruin them for me (Ground AND Water attacks really hurt). There aren't many fire types that I like IMO.

Charmander is my favorite, but Bulbasaur is a very, very close second. I switch off and on between fire and grass starters.

Gen 1- Charmander
Gen 2- Cyndaquil
Gen 3 - Torchic
Gen 4 - Turtwig (I'll be damned if I ever play with that f*cking retarded fire monkey)
Gen 5 - Snivy

So yeah, fire wins by majority, but it's pretty evenly matched. I've liked every single grass starter, even if Treecko was f*cking useless. I'm hate Chimchar and I'm kind of indifferent towards Tepig, definitely not my favorite.

Pikachu cause I had yellow version.
Crystal: I chose to get Totadile, cause it looked like a cute blue alligator.
Ruby: Torchic cause the other two though cute at first. Turn really really fugly where as though Torchic may get worse after it's first evolution. It becomes bad ass in it's 3rd stage.

Bulbasaur always and forever. He was the first Pokemon I ever leveled to 100, and obviously Venusaur, and no, no rare candies used thank you very much.

Ah, good times, good times...

To be honest I always liked Bulbasaur best, but I was always conscious of the fact that he turns into a hideous obese monstrosity for his final evolution. Thus, I always ended up settling for one of the other starters.

After reading some comments I seriously do wish people actually showed which Starters they liked after X generation. Makes me sad that some people can't at least pick something good when there seriously was something good. If they want, at least "pick the lesser of all evils then."

Heres my run down with out ties:

1. Squirtle
2. Cyndaquil
3. Treeko
4. Piplup (Favorite out of all 5 generations of starters, why? Because he evolves into Empoleon, the best Starter Evolution and Pokemon IMO)
5. Oshawott

Squirtle
Cyndaquil
Treeko
Chimchar
Snivy

Usually i don't like the water types because of their lacklustre move pool, but Squirtle is an exception ^^

Cyndaquil is undoubtedly my Favourite fire starter, and Snivy is my favourite grass ^^
