Definitely Mudkip. It's a Water/Ground type, almost no weakness.

In FR/LF I would say charmander, it evolves into a fire/flying pokemon and learns metal claw, which can beat ground types. But since metal claw is a bit weak, Charizard has high special attack to enhance it.For G/S/C I would say totodile. It has good attack and good defence. It learns hydro pump, on of the strongest water attacks EVER. And finally for R/S/E I would say torchic. Treecko may be the fastest starter in the whole of pokemon, and learns the most useful attacks for catching weaker pokemon, false swipe, but it isn't effective against the elite 4, only effective against Wallace the champion. Although it could easily be wiped out by his Milotic with ice beam, tentacruel which is part poison, Ludicolo, which is part grass, and Wailord because it has Blizzard. Mudkip may be good at some of the gyms, but when it evolves into Swampert, it is water/ground. But it is horrible with attacks etc of the type it represents, water. It is a GREAT ground type, and has decent defence which makes it rather tank-ish. But I think torchic is the best starter in Hoenn, because when it evolves into Blaziken, it has the strongest attack and Sp.attack in all of the starter evolutions. It can suffice throughout all gyms, except fir Juan and wallace at the end. But im talking about emerald? Oh well. So torchic is best for Hoenn, totodile for johto, and charmander for kanto. :D

Cyndaquil actually should be the easier one since he has none of the weakneass for most of the starting gyms. And even there after he’s super effective against ice/bugs. Though the ice pokemon probably will have some water-type moves so sort of half and half.Chikorita is weak to the first/second and also was my starter.

i say bulbasuar becuase the first few gyms are easy to defeat because their weaknesses. Venusaur also comes in handy at the pokeon league when fighting lorelrei and whatever the name of the dragon guy is.

the leaf ones are easy to start with since theyre powerful against the first champions.the water ones are strong against some of the first champions (less than the leaf) so they're for medium playersbut the must powerful (and the most hard to go through with) are certainly the fire starters since theyre first of all elementaly weak and then takes more power and advantage of their enemies. those are for talented playersalso, i prefer charmander to torchic, its just for his type (i love dragon types)

Chikorita, as she provides a challenge at the beginning of the game, it makes it easier to build a balanced team right from the off.

I prefer All Fire Pokemon as starter.Charmander, when it evolve to Charizard then it has Fire-Flying type that immune to Ground Attack.Torchic, when it evolve to Combusken, it has Fire-Fighting type that can beat almost all of Elite 4 in Ruby/Sapphire.When it come in Gold/Silver/Crystal, i prefer to Cyndaquil. Although it has pure Fire type, it is the best than the others. It also the quickest when it comes to evolve.(Charmander evolve in level 16, Torchic also level 16, but Cyndaquil evolve at level 14):DBut all is Fire Pokemon.When it come in Emerald, i prefer Torchic, since Fire Pokemon in Emerald is very limited (Vulpix, Torkoal, Numel,Camerupt,Slugma,Magcargo,Ho-oh):laugh:
