Granted, I've used different starters in the same generation at times, but... maybe it'll be easier by generation.

Gen 1 -- Usually Bulbasaur, followed by Charmander or Squirtle

So maybe 1 pt for grass, half a pt for water and fire

Gen 2 -- Crapshoot. I don't particularly like any of them. Although I used Chikorita on my initial play, I always struggle picking again.

And, as a result, I'll say 0 points (and may god have mercy on gen 2's soul)

Gen 3 -- Usually Torchic or Mudkip. I prefer Torchic, but the two are very close. Although I'm kinda okay with Treecko, he's not up there.

1 pt for fire and water, half for grass

Gen 4 -- Usually Chimchar because I like Infernape's design and Turtwig has typing problems later on, although I've sometimes used Turtwig. Piplup I rarely used, which is ironic since I like Empeleon in the spinoffs (Pokken, PG, etc)

1 pt for fire, half for grass, none for water

Gen 5 -- Junk starter gen. I usually go with Tepig, but none of them amaze me. I'm not sure I ever used Osha

1 pt for fire, half for grass, none for water

Gen 6 -- Went with Fennik originally. I might've tried Froakie with one. Wasn't really interested in Chespin

1 pt for fire, half for water, 0 for grass

Gen 7 -- The second Rowlett was announced, I knew I was going with him... and iirc even replays I've mostly picked him. Probably my second fave starter after Bulbasaur (although Torchic and Mudkip rank up there, too).

1 pt for grass, half pt for the others

Gen 8 -- I went with the water guy, but I should've picked the grass guy. The fire one looks stupid.

1 pt for water and grass, 0 for fire

Gen 9 -- Haven't played, so I won't count it. However, I'm definitely going grass with fire as a second choice. iirc, the water one doesn't thrill me

So that works out to...

Grass - 4.5
Fire - 5
Water - 3.5

So fire just a bit ahead of grass, then water lags a bit behind. I kinda thought fire was in the lead these days and it basically is, although counting gen 9 it'd work out the same grass vs fire.
