In my opinion, I don't think any of them are weird. Other people say gen 5 a lot, but I don't think so. I think it has the best starters. I do notice how people say gen 6 also, I mean the Fennekin line is not as cool as the Tepig line, but it's still awesome. I chose it as my starter for Y. (I always pick the fire starters). Actually I don't think any of the other starter lines are as cool as the Tepig line, but they are still awesome.
By the way, you have gen three twice on the poll, and no gen two.

I really don't think any of the starters are weird. Well at least weird by Pokemon standards. I would like a cookie instead of candy though.
P.S. Why is there two options for generation III?

It is Gen 2.
Chikorita is a bad copy of Bulbasaur by also having the growth of a flower in the body. It is a cliche that works.
Cyndaquil is green, he is not orange/yellow/red as a fire type is usually colored. It gets some red and yellow only when its back is on fire
Totodile was not a surprise by being based on the second most obvious water animal.
But the Cyndaquil-Chikorita-Totodile trio is a nice trio, when they're together I think they combine very well though Cyndaquil being mostly green

I guess the first "Generation 3" option was mispelled, it should be "Generation 2", as you can see, Gen 2 is missing in the poll, then I considered it Gen 2!

"Weirdest?"
I guess I'd say Gen IV for this one. I dunno, something about their color schemes seems a little... off. A little unnatural, even for Pokemon.

I voted for Gen I. I find them kinda weird because of their too similar looks. Same smile, same smooth bald head. Their arms and legs aren't that much different either. But mainly it is their shared spherical head that looks so weird to me. Maybe Bulbasaur stands out a little (quadruped, more different eyes, ear/horn-like feature).
The only other spherical-headed starters are Oshawott and Piplup (maybe a reason why they look so similar?) and they are in different Generation's. They look more unique together with their fellow starters in their own Generation... unlike the Kanto starters.

I don't any generations starters are weird in any way.
I'm just here for the candy that the poll promised.

It's quite obvious gen VI has the weirdest starters and after that gen VII will have the weirdest starters and after that gen VIII and after that etc.... You guys can see where I'm going. Almost everyone complains about the new starters every time they are introduced.
I personally vote gen VI but not because they are the newest but because they ruined two potentially good Pokemon in Chespin and Fennekin with their final evolutions. Froakie is just win all the way. Srsly they ruined great potential evolutions for both Braixen and Quilladin which would have made gen VI have the best designed starters.
I don't see why people say gen II when thay are easily the simplest designed starter Pokemon. And I also don't see why people bash gen V's starters when they are amongst the best designed barring Oshawott and Samurrot, (well not so much Oshawott) but still it looks like a sad clown. I feel like gen VI got worse fire and grass startes and gen IV got a worse water starter design wise.

I don't really had a particular gen, but I really don't get mudkip, I mean what is it based on?
I also haven't gotten use to chespins evolutions and if Bulbasuar wasn't from gen 1 i'd probably think it was weird too.
I mean what is it, a plant, a dinosaur or a weird looking frog.

None of the starters have a weird vibe for me... <.>
I guess Gen II. In specific, Cyndaquil. Once in a while I see a debate of it saying he is a - and it ranges from- Echidna, Mouse, Weasel, or Badger. I still like that little Pokemon though X3
Chikorita looks like a green thumb. I do like its final evo though.

I said generation four. I had a really hard time picking a starter from that generation... I ultimately picked one, got to a part of the game where other Pokemon were available (usually after the first gym) and then ditched whoever I picked and it spent the rest of the journey in my computer box while I utilized other Pokemon. They just didn't look great and I even feel the gen 6 Pokemon look way cooler and are more decent members for a team.
I did this for generation 4, 5, and 6. I might have used Torterra because of the typing for gen 4, but later playthroughs I didn't touch the starters.
