I picked Cyndaquil because I liked it more then the other 3,and because a certain Let's Play on Something Awful Forums made me not want a Totodile.
But Totodile's are so cute,and nice...;__; I want one,but I don't want to start a new game,since I just began one.
..>> I'm sort of mixed between Cyndaquil and Totodile. When it comes to cuteness,and a battling parthner,Cyndaquil..As a pet,Totodile...So,I guess,Cyndaquil is my favorite Johto starter.
Edit: Oh wait,I didn't get Cyndaquil in Crystal,that was that hacked game(which I deleted off my computer 2 minutes after I started playing *_* Scary sprites popping up)...Cyndaquil or Totodile..Cyndaquil or Totodile...I'll choose Totodile,though it's last evolution sprites stinks.
But,Cyndaquil still is my favorite Johto starter.
