Charmander and Pikachu...though in Yellow you really don't get a choice. Pikachu/Raichu is still one of the most powerful electric types, imo, and just too darn cute to boot! Charmander was great simply because of the lack of good fire Pokemon mostly towards the first part of the game.

And I really just don't care for water or grass types. =P

[GreenAsSin]

Pikachu was cute in Yellow and I enjoyed the fact that it followed you around, a unique twist that sets it apart from the other games.

However, I have to cast my vote for Charmander, which I raised in Red. I never did play as Bulbasaur, opting instead for Squirtle in my Blue game

Ever since then, (with the exception of Silver, the first of the Second Generation games I got, where I started with a Chikorita), I've always tended to choose Fire types as my starter, though oddly enough the Grass Types have fallen to second choice, which I did not opt for in my First Generation games. Water has been left for last choice, though that is not to say I have necessarily anything against them.

[Blue Tomoshibi]

Real men use charmander and don't catch anything else to beat Brock.

[Solitos]

Bulbasaur, don't recall my first team, maybe later.

[Devon]

Bulbasaurrrr~

[Leilukin]

I always like Charmander.
Also, Charizard is my number one favorite fire type Pokemon,

[Heather Mason]

Bulbasaur was always, has always, and will continue to be my favorite Pokemon ever. <3 And by far my favorite to start out with.

As for my Team, I can't remember for the life of me. ;;;

[Bellatria Musica]

I liked Squirtle and Charmander equally...there's no way I can remember my first team. I'm pretty sure I had a Ninetales in there, though.

[Iggy]

Squirtle, it's the most logical choice.
And I know I always have a Pikachu before the first gym!

I'm not a man, but I did that once. A long, annoying battle that was.

I pick Bulbasaur, just because it's so darned cute, even though he's really not very good later on. Or in tournaments.

I've never liked Pikachu, so I didn't enjoy Yellow as much except that you get a full set of starters.

[Iggy]

Real men use charmander and don't catch anything else to beat Brock.

And real idiots! I bet I could easily do that, with a solid hour of cirling around the last area of grass in the forest, you can have a level twenty pokemon.

I did that yesterday and had a level 19 Warturtle and Level 3 Pikachu before even going to Brock.

[Nona the Teddiur...]

Oh, sure, make me get out my old game again.

*goes through it to see what team I left there* I know it was one of my favorites...

I loved Bulbasaur. XD He was, and still is, my favorite starter.

And, Damn, I can't find the game.

What I do remember, though, is that I had Venusaur, Chancey, Cloyster, Electabuzz (or Magneton if I felt like it), Ninetails (or Rapidash if I felt like it) and Hypno. Sometimes I used Dragonite, too.

[daffe]

I'd like to say Squirtle but I can't because my favourite is Charmander. Its just so cute and its third shape is so cool.

[IronCrystal]

I loved all three. Pikachu, meh. It's the kind of Pokemon that got too popular and just became the sort of thing that made me roll my eyes when I saw it. All three of the real starters were amazing, and I don't think they've ever made a better set of starters.

[Avyuir]

Charmander always In my opinion it was the cutest of the 4 starters and even to this day I think its the cutest starter out of them all (though cyndaquil is extremely cute too t_t)

[rt117]

Stategically a Bulbasaur, because it's an efficient choice for the first two Gyms (especially first Gym because otherwise your only other choice for a Pokemon to fight Brock is a Mankey, as most of the other types are weak vs. Ground or Rock) as well as Mt. Moon against Geodudes, but true favourite-wise i'd say Charmander.

[draconitas]

First time I played I picked a Bulbasaur, because I'd heard it evolved to it's 3rd stage at the lowest level, which translated to me as easy to raise. It gave me a pretty easy time with the first couple of gyms, too. In all following replays (and in the remakes) I chose Charmander, because I like having a fire type, and good ones that I like aren't available until much later - Growlithe, because I played Red, so no Vulpix/Magmar for me. Water-type I covered with Gyarados - I've had one in every Pokemon game I've played. Literally. I remember having an Alakazam, a Raichu, and a Fearow/Pidgeot Last one was just a random filler, I think - the team wasn't super balanced but worked out fine for me.

I used to hate Pikachu because everyone just loved it to bits. I'm the sort who tends to eschew trend-following, because it seems so much like sheep behaviour (I'm sorry Mareep!).

Bulbasaur was always my pick. I never faired too well with Charmander and Squirtle. Maybe it's just because the grass type is my favorite. And in Yellow you don't get a choice huh? I liked Pikachu, but I don't think I ever raised it into a Raichu, I raised a Nidoran Male and Nidoking became my strongest pokemon.

lol i remember i used to hate pikachu because of that...

i never really liked any of the starters because everyone was always saying ZOMG they're SOO cute! and i hate cute XD so i chose charmander because it'd become charizard... then i noticed it was so tedious to train to beat brock, so i restarted and chose squirtle... what can i say, i'm a lazy person! XD of course, when i finished the game i restarted to beat it with charmander

[MoogleSam]

Charmander for sure! Pikachu is second! XD Yeah, I love Charmander and Pikachu. Not because they are cute, because they are cool. X3
