When answering this question, I am going to assume it's under that Generation's mechanics and not on the current Generation. Meaning that EV Training on Gen 1 and 2 were way different than it is now. Abilities and certain types didn't exist, etc… Anyways… without further ado…
Generation 1: Charmander. All three starters stink but Charizard is the best of the three and in Yellow version he can at least serve as a competent HM Slave. Squirtle has heavy Water Type competition and Bulbasaur gets Sleep Powder quite late compared to Oddish/Bellsprout lines.
Generation 2: Totodile. Chikorita's rough start and poor offenses need no explanation and starting with Totodile forces Silver to take it. Totodile having an early Bite(despite being Special) is a strong bonus and Fire Types are still meh. Doesn't mean Cyndaquil is bad though.
Generation 3: Mudkip. Water/Ground, need I say more. Honorable mention to Torchic though.
Generation 4: Chimchar. If not him… Ponyta is it. Took Platinum to fix that blatant oversight.
Generation 5: Snivy. Grass struggles in an actual playthrough but its design and especially hidden ability are a major plus if you're able to get one.
Generation 6: Fennekin. I like foxes…
Generation 7: Popplio. Water/Fairy is quite strong.
Generation 8: Grookey. Best of the three…
Generation 9: Sprigatito. I do love Fuecoco but they had to add Armarouge and Ceruledge as Fire type exclusives…
Hsui variant: Typhlosion Fire/Ghost is a good combo
Z-A: TBD

I'll decide after I see if they get new forms or Megas. Even if they don't, I'm probably going to decide based on what new Pokémon we get. If I still can't decide, I'm probably going to just randomly choose between Chikorita or Totodile.

Please do not duplicate, my dear post.0 -
these lists suck because they are boring. None wants to read a stupid list over and over. They blend together. Everyone just wants to talk about their own favorites and ignore everyone else's. Also bro, if you are going that deep then specify which versions as well. Go all the way detailed. Show some value.

If they are boring, the don't read them. It's that simple. If you think they are offensive or anything then report them. If you want to talk about your favorites, then do ( I asked)

For simplicity I will only list for the mainline games:
Kanto: Charmander
Kanto (Let's Go): Pikachu
Johto: Cyndaquil
Hoenn: Torchic
Sinnoh: Chimchar
Sinnoh (Hisui): Cyndaquil
Unova: Tepig
Kalos: Fennekin
Kalos (cause you can choose two): Charmander (yeah I did double fire)
Kalos (Z-A): Tepig
Alola: Litten
Galar: Scorbunny
Paldea: Fuecoco
I really like fire type starters, also dang y'all listed the legends games but not Let's Go? It really was forgettable.
