I like Unova's trio of Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott. You have the right to disagree with me if you want, but I personally think that each generation is better than the previous one, since the storylines of the games, at least in my opinion, get more interesting as the series progresses. However, I always choose the Grass-type starter, and I don't plan to break that tradition anytime soon, so when Black & White is released in the U.S., I'm going with Snivy, just as I went with Bulbasaur in Red, Blue, FireRed & LeafGreen, Chikorita in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold & SoulSilver, Treecko in Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald, and Turtwig in Diamond, Pearl & Platinum.
