Although I definitely like all three to a certain degree, my favorite's gotta be Cyndaquil (mostly cause I think it's the cutest.) With other starter evolution lines from various Gens, there's often a stage in there that I'm less crazy about, but I actually love the Cyndaquil family's designs all the way through.

I used one in my first run though SoulSilver, and I'm using one right now in a HeartGold Nuzlocke. As others have mentioned, "Eruption" is incredible - it's been destroying Trainer after Trainer as I journey through Kanto, including wiping out Lt. Surge's entire team.

Like most of the time, I have to go for the Water type, Totodile. I love it's cute design and I always choose it as my starter.

Also, I just love it in the anime. The episode where Ash and Misty fight over Totodile has to be one of my favorites.
 
I'll say Cyndaquil, yet I can't really vote for one favorite, because the file I have on my Soulsilver, even at this point in time, is still the original file from when I started it back in 2010.

Mine is Chikorita. It's adorable. and I prefer the gentler nature of the line.

Yes I know, it's typing is not helpful in Johto, but I always chose it.

I my is Chikorita, I love its shiny I remember the first time I managed to MM one of the starters I guess that is why I hold above the others.

Apart from Chikorita I think Totodile is my second favourite Johto starter mostly cuz of how Ash's Totodile acted which made the species cuter to me ha ha. :)

I always go for Cyndaquil, because of nostalgia reasons and the fact that I love using him in OU metagame lately (Eruption sweep!)

Chikorita is freaking adorable. I really do like all of them, though.

Cyndaquil by a long shot, mainly because it evolves into Quliava which I love. Quilava's one of the best designed Pokémon ever, it has such a cute face and perfect body. They used to be my second favourite Pokémon and my favourite starter until Oshawott stole it's crown.

Although it's unpopular opinion, I like Chikorita the most out of the Johto starters, although I think that's more because of Ash's Chikorita in the anime than anything lol.

I really like Cyndaquil and Totodile. Totodile is really powerful when it is fully evolved, and using Eruption with Typhlosion is so much fun!

I really didn't like Chikorita much, it has an okay design, but the final evolution looks so bland.
