The Machamp line is the first one that comes to mind for me. My dad bought a two player starter set from the early years of the trading card game. The only 3 stage evolution in that set was the Machamp line. I always like to play that line in the tcg for game boy too. Machoke is my fav but I love them all.

That's a strong memory, for sure. I love it.
Atm for some reason it's Joltik, just instant serotonin on sight
Chandelure is also sick
And in terms of nostalgia it'd be Snivy because getting a Snivy plushy as a kid was a part of my introduction to Pokemon in general
I love original Raichu because I feel no one loves him. He's forgotten boi, replaced by his cuter cousins Pikachu and all of Pikachu's clones. After that is Meowth and Mewtwo because they had personality and backstories in the anime. Butterfree. Aggron. Rattata. Eldegloss, Cramorant and Slowbro. Wooper. Victreebel. I used to dislike some of the stupider/uglier looking pokemon but they've grown on me. Like Bidoof.
I like most of the bug pokemon. The original starters and Cyndaquil, Totodile, Mudkip, Treeko. After Gen III I took a break for a long while.
Got 2 favourites .
- Infernape : Mainly due to nostalgia since chimchar was my first starter and I was blown away (at that time) by how cool infernape looks , his stats are really balanced and moveset is also great .
- Flygon : While I agree that garchomp is better , i still have a soft spot for flygon , I love his design . I wish it could've gotten a mega tho :')
I'm a Turtwig man, myself, but that whole trio is amazing. Probably the last time I have liked all three starter evolutionary lines from start to finish.
Flygon is a strong choice. It's definitely among my personal favorites.
My first pokemon was Squirtle. My "I don't care about winning" fun team would be Blastoise, Porygon (maybe Pory2), Mew, Mimikyu, Ditto (imposter), Rotom (any other than wash or fan).
Idk if I can pick one though. Mimikyu was OP in Gen 7 and he got me through a lot. Squirtle was also great in Kanto, he got me through Brock easy before I caught many others.
Donphan for nostalgia, but ground type is my favorite and the design is simple, looks tough and cool. It's debut in the Pokemon movie was also dope. Great tusk made my heart ink a little.
However, in recent years I have been liking Tangrowth, Alolan Ninetales, Mienshao, Tyrantrum, Hawlucha, Noivern, Mimikyu, Centiskorch, Skeliderdge, Glimmora, and of course Great Tusk, as I mentioned. All are just really fun to play around with and I've jived with the designs. They've also been on good teams that have given me success.
Tl;dr: Donphan
Bulbasaur, mainly for nostalgic reasons, but also the fact that I love grass types! All of them!
Bulbasaur is my go-to gen 1 starter, too. Grass is my #2 favorite type.
Bulbasaur was my first. Bulbasaur will always be my favorite. I have a small Bulba collection. I find him adorable!
Me to bulbasaur ftw
Squirtle, always Squirtle
