Torchic is my favorite (because who doesn't love a baby chicken), but I like Charmander and Cyndaquil as well. Tepig is also cute, though I don't like his evolutions that much. Chimchar is just okay.

Though Fennekin may end up taking the title once X and Y come out, depending on whether I like its evolutions better than Torchic's.

Torchic, it's a chicken that will cook YOU. It even becomes a pro wrestler when it evolves. It's kinda cute too.

Fennekin looks adorable though, depending on its evolutions it may beat Torchic.

Non non non!
Cyndaquil or Chimchar for me. I went with Cyndaquil because I slightly prefer Thyphlosion. I'm not a huge fan of the Hoenn/Unova fire starters, but they're cool (punically ironic). I just don't like Charmander line.

Cyndaquil, although if I had played generation three games I'd have probably said Torchic (it's also joint cutest alongside Cyndaquil)

Torchic.

Because along with Cyndaquil and Fennekin, it's the only Fire Starter I do like.

Charmander's ok though, but I absolutely HATE the Tepig and Chimchar lines, the only Pokémon of which I dislike in any form.

I voted as honestly as I can, and my favorite of all the fire starters is... Bacon! I don't care what you have to say about it. Tepig is by far my favorite of the Fire/Fighting starters, and takes the place of my favorite Fire starter with competition only with Cyndaquil. The first and foremost reason I like Tepig is actually just because of what animal it's based on. I have no idea why, but ever since I was a kid pigs have just been my favorite animal. I guess I found it interesting how clean and smart they are despite everything they're "known" for. I also found that Emboar is probably the Fire/Fighting stater that requires the most strategy witch is something I enjoy with Pokemon. The more strategy is needed for a Pokemon the more fun, and more diverse the move sets can be. Lastly, I will compare it to the other Fire/Fighting staters. Now remember, this is just my opinion, and I will be pretty direct with it. I see no point in sugarcoating something that others won't agree with no matter what... So, here we go. Blaziken is a mutant chicken, and Infernape... Well, honestly I just don't like monkeys very much, and the blue toes bother me a little. I don't dislike either of those Pokemon, but when their major competition is that of my favorite animal turned into a starter Pokemon it doesn't make them look as good to me. Besides, Tepig is adorable, Pignite is also cute, but in a different way, and Emboar just looks awesome. However, I will admit that there is one thing that I would have changed about Emboar. I would have done something different with it's neck rather than taking the same thing that was put on Typhlosion. I really liked the fire-collar on Typhlosion and it was really unique to the Volcano Pokemon. More-or-less, Tepig is my favorite Fire starter, and I hope I've given you some good reason behind it.

I would have to say Cyndaquil is my favorite. But I love all of them. It would be very difficult for me to list them from favorite to least favorite

Cyndaquil is the only Fire Starter I like more than the other 2 starters. Although, Chimchar comes at a very close second.

peachy
Torchic. It was my first starter, plus I think it's really cute, and its evolutions are kickass. I also like Charmander, and Cyndaquil. ;P

The only time I've picked a Fire-type starter pre-GenVI ('cuz I'm going with Fennekin) was HG, because my runthrough of SS was with Totodile.

But I have to say Charmander because I love its design and how it evolves into a Fire/Flying type.
 
I ADORE Chimchar, it has IMO, the best evolutoinary chain, has a GREAT movepool. Then torchic, has the second best evolutoinary chain, another great movepool
