The First Starter You've Picked For Each Generation?

Gen I: Charmander (Red - 2003 or 2004)
Gen II: Totodile (Silver - 2001)
Gen III: Treecko (Ruby - 2003)
Gen IV: Piplup (Diamond - 2007)
Gen V: Oshawott (White - 2011)
Gen VI: Froakie (X - 2013)

Other than Piplup and Oshawott (who have been replaced by the Chimchar and Tepig lines respectively), these remain my favorite starters for each generation.
 
Gen I: Squirtle
Gen II: Chikorita
Gen III: I think it was either Mudkip or Torchic, ironically I like Treecko better
Gen IV: Piplup
Gen V: Snivy, though I now like Oshawott more.
Gen VI: Froakie
 
Gen I: Charmander
Gen II: Cyndaquil
Gen III: Torchic
Gen IV: Infernape
Gen V: Tepig
Gen VI: Froakie
As you can probably tell, I like my Fire-Types.
 
Gen 1: Squirtle
Gen 2: Cyndaquil
Gen 3: Torchic
Gen 4: Chimchar
Gen 5: Tepig
Gen 6: Froakie
 
Gen 1 - Squirtle... Long time ago happy days the 90s
Gen 2 - Totodile. On Heart gold I chose Chikorita
Gen 3 - Mudkip
Gen 4 - Piplup
Gen 5 - Snivy
Gen 6 - Froakie
 
My choice is always changing. I have no Type alignment, even though I do love Fire Pokemon.

Generation I: Charmander
Generation II: Cyndaquil
Generation III: Treeko
Generation IV:Chimchar
Generation V:Oshawott
Generation VI:Fennekin
 
I've almost always gone for the grass starter, sometimes because I think it's the coolest and sometimes because I feel like grass is kind of an "underdog" choice.

Gen I - Venusaur
Gen II - Meganium (My favorite is probably Feraligatr though)
Gen V - Serperior (I picked Emboar in White 2, and honestly I like all three of the GV starters about equally.)
Gen VI - Delphox (I usually go for reptiles over mammals but in this case I liked the fox more than the other two.)

I wasn't playing Pokemon during the third and fourth generations, but if I were to go back and play them, I'd probably pick Sceptile and Torterra.
Overall I think Unova has my favorite starters.
 
Gen 1 (Blue): Squirtle
Gen 2: did not play
Gen 3: did not play
Gen 4: did not play
Gen 5: did not play
Gen 6 (Y): Fennekin
 
Gen I - Squirtle
Gen II - Chikorita
Gen III - No one, I skipped this gen. I won't get OR/AS, but I would choose Mudkip.
Gen IV - Piplup
Gen V - Tepig
Gen VI - Fennekin
 
Gen I: Charmander(FireRed), Squirtle(Red)
Gen II: Totodile(SoulSilver)
Gen III: Treecko(Sapphire)
Gen IV: Piplup(Diamond)
Gen V: Snivy(Black)
Gen VI: Fennekin(X)
 
In each generation? Hmm...

Gen 1 - Bulbasaur (Blue)
Gen 2 - Totodile (Silver)
Gen 3 - Mudkip (Ruby)
Gen 4 - Piplup (Diamond)
Gen 5 - Snivy (Black)
Gen 6 - Fennekin (X)

I have picked all starters through my replays of the games, or through playing all of the versions, but these were my choices when first starting a new Generation. Well, all except Froakie, who I plan on picking in the next Kalos games, or in a replay of Y.

Gen 1: Bulbasaur (considering Brock and Misty, this choice was a no-brainer)
Gen 2: Cyndaquil (type-wise advantageous against Bugsy, Jasmine, and Pryce, and that Typhlosion was way cool)
Gen 3-4: N/A Skipped both generations. (But I'll go for Torchic.)
Gen 5: Black 1: Snivy (Yeah, that mustache with a cane and a top hat...) Black 2: Haven't played yet. Will soon.
Gen 6: Froakie (great for competitive battling)/Bulbasaur (nostalgia)

Gen II: Totodile
Gen III: Mudkip
Gen IV: Piplup
Gen V: Oshawott
Gen VI: Froakie

I have always picked the water starters. I think it was a random choice I made in my first playthrough of Red. I discovered that it worked really well for me so I never changed. lol
 
Gen 1: Charmander
Gen 2: Chikorita
Gen 3: Mudkip
Gen 4: Piplup

Charmander
Chikortia
Treecko
Piplup
Snivy
Froakie
 
I'm a child of gen 3.

RSE: Mudkip
FRLG: Bulbasaur
DPPt: Piplup
HGSS: Cyndaquil
BW: Oshawott

I prefer Treecko to Mudkip and Turtwig to Piplup now. I've always preferred Snivy to Oshawott, but I picked up Oshawott in BW since I thought I'd get BW2 later. If I ever get XY I'll probably get Froakie.
 
Red: Charmander
Crystal: Cyndaquil

Diamond: Piplup
White: Oshawott
White 2: Oshawott
X: Froakie
