4 times out of 7 the water starter is the best starter:

Gen 1: Squirtle
Gen 2: Totodile(though none were that great imo)
Gen 3: Torchic
Gen 4: Chimchar
Gen 5: Oshawott, my favorite Pokémon of all time.
Gen 6: Frokie (not that it’s even close to being any of the others)
Gen 7: Rowlett (though I do love playing as inceneroar in ultimate)

Silver: Chikorita
Emerald: Treeko
Platinum: Piplup
White 2: Oshawatt
X: Chespin

yeah I've been kinda primarily a grass guy, haven't played the original black/white or sun/moon, but I'd probably go w/ rowlett for alola, and if I were to go back to unova, unsure if I wanna do oshawatt again or pick another one

Hmm... Favourite starters from each generation?

Gen 1 - Bulbasaur. Strategically, it's a good Pokemon to pick. Bulbasaur is super powerful against the first two gyms, and it is a grass poison typing which gives it an advantage.
Gen 2 - Chikorita. Unlike Bulbasaur, Chikorita is a horrible pokemon to start with as it is weak to the first gym, but Chikorita's weaknesses can be covered by picking up a Geodude in Dark Cave... I really like the design of Chikorita, and its evolutions.
Gen 3 - Don't like any of the Gen 3 starters
Gen 4 - Hard to say, but I'd probably go with Chimchar. It's a fire type, and it has a cute design, with a strong evolution. That said Piplup is a close second.
Gen 5 - Not really a fan of any of the starters of Unova, to be honest.
Gen 6 - Fennekin. It's a beautiful fox pokemon. It's evolutions are also inspired by the mage class in fantasy RPGs, which is my favourite RPG class.
Gen 7 - Rowlet, of course. I'm not sure how to explain why I like this one. It's just... good.
Gen 8 - Didn't like any of the starters shown in the trailer.

1. Charmander, for the same reason that I always name my gen 1 character Red.
2. Totodile. Nostalgia.
3. Mudkip. Mudkip's just plain awesome.
4. Turtwig. I really like Torterra.
5. Snivy. I also really like Serperior.
6. Froakie. Ninja frog. 'Nuff said.
7. Popplio. Fairy types are fun.
8. Sobble. I like water types.
