Wake me up inside
Cyndaquil, me and my sister always used to battle each other with them back when HG/SS was the newest game. Good times.

For my first playthrough, I have taken on Cyndaquil. Next time, I am not sure who I will pick. Leaning toward the water one.

Totodile right now would be my favorite of the 3 if we're talking no evolutions. Best design of the 3 baby forms. Quilava though is my favorite of any of them though. Think he's the best NFE fire starter form. So I would pick Cyndaquil overall just slightly over Toto for that reason.

Totodile is the best in my opinion because it's adorable and can learn a variety of moves.

Chikorita, as it was my first ever Pokemon (although i lost my original soul silver game :/). It has a pretty lackluster form, however it will remain forever perfect in my mind <3

Cyndaquil hands down. My favorite starter Pokemon of any generation. In fact, HG/SS are STILL my fav games out of the franchise as a whole, but this cuddly fire mouse Pokemon is by far the cutest and feisty of the bunch!

Cyndaquil was my favorite Johto starter. I really liked it's design and moveset the best and it was the one I had the most fun using when playing through HGSS.

Cyndaquil. I hatched a shiny one in my Japanese diamond in 2009, just sent it to my recently bought US heart gold this week 7 years later, replaying the game for the first time since 2010 lol

it proved 'yes' when it evolved and learned eruption which is deadly

Cyndaquil! <3

Totodile is a close second.

I also really like Chikorita, but she loses final choice points since I don't find her final evolution as cool as Cyndi's and Toto's.

I find Chikorita unappealing. Cyndaquil and Totodile are cute in their base forms and I like their final stages.
 
Totodile, without doubt! He is the only starter that doesn't need to evolve in my playthroughs. I like him the way he is and the only plusside to evolution would be more power.

Chikorita for me, I've always had a thing for Grass types, even though it's weak to quite a lot of Johto gyms, and it also doesn't get Sleep Powder. I guess dual screens and aromatherapy by leveling up is kind of nice though, it's primarily a supporter.

I'd have to say *Totodile*. I love its design, and its move pull is pretty useful in Johto, especially Ice Fang! It totally destroys your rivals Chikorita/Bayleef/Meganium. I chose Totodile on my first playthrough of HeartGold and have loved it ever since. My vote goes for Totodile!

Good point! I never thought Meganium as a supporter Pokemon! I'll keep that in mind when I make another competitive team.

I say either Totodile or Cyndaquil because they both good to use for me.
