First two Fire Starters that existed

Whose design do you like better?
Who has the better moveset?
Who would fare better in a head-to-head battle?
Who relates better to their evolved forms?

Actually, this is a pretty difficult decision for me. Much as I hate Charizard, I do think Charmander is adorable, but Cyndaquil is just so cute and bashful.

Bah, I'm cheating and voting for both of them.
 
I can already see this is gonna be super hard for me.

Whose design do you like better? - ...First question and it's already difficult. I find both of them adorable and cool looking. I'm going to have to call it a draw.

Who has the better moveset? - In my opinion, Charmander. At the very least it can counter rock-types (in FRLG, specifically) and gets Dragon Rage pretty early on (after FRLG).

Who would fare better in a head-to-head battle? - I would guess Charmander would just because it has access to better moves.

Who relates better to their evolved forms? - To be honest, I really don't quite understand this question. I'm assuming it's asking which, I guess, relates better to it's evolved form in terms of appearance? I may be wrong, but with that assumption, I'd say Charmander since they look better connected.

Who is your favorite? - I seriously prefer the Charmander line, but I'd have to say Cyndaquil. I mean, I fricken wanted one for Christmas when I was younger.
 
Whose design do you like better? Charmander. It is a lizard and an orange one.

Who has the better moveset? The Fire-type one.

Who would fare better in a head-to-head battle? The Fire-type one?

Who relates better to their evolved forms? Cyndaquil, no doubts about that. Charizard's design is a mess and feels very out of place compared to Charmander and Charmeleon's designs, while all of Cyndaquil's evolutions look perfectly connected to each other.

Who is your favorite? I prefer Charmander. It is really cute and Charmeleon is one of my favorite first stage of any starters, too bad I don't really like Charizard. Cyndaquil isn't bad, but overall its evolutionary line is a bit boring.
