Kanto: My least favorite starter here is Bulbasaur. I do like him but I just have more love for Charmander and Squirtle.
Johto: This one is close between Totodile and Chikorita but I guess I'll say Chikorita here. Again, just like Bulbasaur it's not bad but I prefer the other two.
Hoenn: Mudkip, without a single doubt. Treecko's line is overall pretty cool and while Torchic and Combusken are meh I do really like Blaziken as well. Mudkip and its evolutions are just there. The only reason it was relevant for me is because it was the strongest out of the three so I ended up picking it sometimes for an easier playthrough.
Sinnoh: This one would be Piplup. It's alright but its not really my taste, I like Turtwig and Chimchar's lines better.
Unova: Tepig, definitely. Oshawott is neat, Snivy isn't bad but Tepig and especially his evolutions are just pure shit.
Kalos: Chespin, for one reason and one reason only and that is the abomination of his second stage. Quilladin has a design that is even worse than Bidoof. If not for Quilladin, I would have gone with Fennekin's line because it's relatively boring to me.
Overall I'll have to go with Tepig. Chespin came close but at least I somewhat like Chesnaught, Emboar on the other hand is the most underwhelming fully-evolved starter ever.
