I always used Fire-type starters until the newer generations where they combine fire and fight types for the evolution, hate that combination. So for the new generations I used water types. 

I think I tend to lean towards water types. It varies from gen to gen a bit, but Feraligatr is where it's at. Sure, Charizard's cool and all, but I had Blue version anyway...

The problem is that I think of the starters as correlating to difficulty level selection: Bulbasaur is "easy," Squirtle is "normal," Charmander is "hard." Second gen was the opposite: Cyndaquil was "easy," Totodile was "normal," Chikorita was "hard." So I feel guilty about choosing Bulbasaur or Cyndaquil -- I feel like I'm playing on easy mode.

Wait what?

This is possible?

I usually go for fire on the first playthrough and then replay with either water or grass but i think thats mainly because of the fact charizard was my favourite of the original pokemon.

I do wish they would make the games like yellow though where you naturally get all 3 starters throughout the course of the game.

You need 2 gameboys 2 games a trading cable and a lot of patience.

aha... well thats lame

Water types for life!

The 3rd I do not know and the 4th sucked big time.

The 3rd is Oshawott from Pokemon Black/White. He's pretty adorbs.
