Oh, boy! Another 'pinions thread. Okay, let me post the correct 'pinions.
Squirtle
Cyndaquil
Mudkip (In spite of the internet's best attempts.)
Turtwig
Snivy
No
Rowlet
Scorbunny (sure would be a shame if it evolved on you, though. Glad mine never did because I boxed it the first chance I got.)
Rowlet, but in a wooden Pokeball. (Cyndaquil was my favourite before gen 7 so I am glad it's here too.)
Fuecoco

Galar: Scorbunny
Hisui: Cyndaquil

Sinnoh: Piplup
Unova: Snivy
Kalos: Fennekin

Kanto: Squirtle (The best Pokemon)
Johto: Cyndaquil (I also like Totodile a lot, nearly equal)
Hoenn: Mudkip (3rd best Pokemon)
Sinnoh: Piplup (I genuinely wonder how they made the first four gen starters so good (apart from torchic))
Unova: Oshawott
Kalos: Chespin
Alola: Rowlet (The others suck)
Galar: Grookey (This is the best starter group for me, all of their final forms are in my top 20 all time best mons but Rillaboom is the reason Grookey takes this one)
Paldea: Fuecoco (The others suck)
