Grass: Gen 5 and 7
Fire: Gen 1, 2, and 6
Water: Gen 3 and 4

I was surprised how evenly split it was for me because my gut instantly went to Fire when I read the question.

I never played Gen 8 or 9, but looking at their starters I would have picked Grass and Fire respectively.

Technically, your gut was right, though...

100% fire, but the only one I've actually played is Diamond, so that's not a tremendously meaningful majority.

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.

However, if I was going to rank my favorite starters (minus gen 9)....

#1 - Bulbasaur
#2 - Rowlett
#3 - Torchic and Mudkip (tie)
#5 (since #3 is a tie) - Charmander
#6 - Squirtle
#7 - Chimchar

After that, maybe it's one of the other gen 7s or Treecko, but the preference isn't as strong.

Voted Grass but its tied with Water. Assuming replays arent counted at any rate.

Fire - Charmander
Grass - Treecko, Turtwig, Snivy, and Sprigagito
Water - Totodile, Froakie, Popplio, and Sobble

I think it was about which you chose more, rather than your favorite...

I have used every starter in every game but probably fire the most.

Fire is my favorite type and I feel like it's generally the best for the starter if for no other reason than the fact that there are generally more good water and grass to catch and fill those needs, especially early.

I'll go with what I chose first as a starter as I tend to not really favor any one type

Gen 1: Bulbasaur
Gen 2: Chikorita
Gen 3: Mudkip
Gen 4: Turtwig
Gen 5: Oshawott
Gen 6: Fennekin
Gen 7: Litten
Gen 8: Sobble
Gen 9: Fuecoco

... Well shit. BW2 and USUM aren't good for tie breakers since I just abandoned my starter in a box and don't even remember what I chose for them.

I like fire because I hate the idea of getting beaten by a plant. I'm good as long as plant pokemon are a perpetual joke.

Otherwise they start leech seeing and poisoning and recovering and it's just a mess

In gen 1, I choose Bulbasaur simply because there are other fire and water pokemon that greatly outclass the other starters. In later gens it doesn't matter as much with more pokemon to choose from overall, so I usually choose fire.

Gen 1: Squirtle (water)
Gen 2: Cyndaquil (fire)
Gen 3: Mudkip (water)
Gen 4: Chimchar (fire)
Gen 5: Oshawott (water)
Gen 6: Froakie (water)
Gen 7: Rowlet (grass)
Gen 8: Scorbunny (fire)
Gen 9: Sprigatito (grass)

Grass: 2
Fire: 3
Water: 4

I usually like the water types but the last 3 generations have been huge disappointments when it comes to water starters.

No idea, Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, Puplip and Sobble just spoke out to me more I guess.

Maybe the in-between games would have changed things, but I never played them.

I value damage over control, so I'd probably choose fire since it's so ingrained in me (and in many games) as *the* damage-dealer.

Workin' all day won't get me far
So I will set it for a six-pack and a fast car
Pack of smokes and a bottle of wine

Time's right now, I gwanna get some kicks
Booze, tough chicks and spaghetti flicks
Oh yeah!

Oh yeah, I think I've made up my mind
Can't wait cause I ain't got the time
Standing at the crossroads with my guitar
I take the one to the left and I will be a star
I got time for some rock'n'roll
Never really cared about my soul

It's probably pretty split. I started off with Bulba and Cyndaquil in gen 2, and I can't remember all the others. I just went with whichever one had the best designs.

I deliberately cycle through the types, just so things don't get monotonous. I don't cycle through them in lockstep, just grass/fire/water in some order, then grass/fire/water in some possibly different order, etc. For the games I've played, it's been

Fire Red: fire
Emerald: grass
Platinum: water
Black: water
Black 2: fire

The next game I play is probably going to be Heart Gold with grass. You can see I try to pick the type that matches the "color" of the game/box when I can. >_> I suspect it would feel weird otherwise.
