Lets start a shitflinging thread.

Gen 1
I like them all equally, no strong feelings about any specific design to the point that if I said one was worse than the others I would feel like I made a bad choice

Gen 2
I also like these all a lot. Totodile-Feraligatr is my favorite because crocodiles are cool
Meganium is my least favorite, I like it, but the design is a little too simple, and also meganium is one of the weakest starters ever

Gen 3
Sceptile very closely followed by swampert
That leaves blaziken, who while cool isn't really to my tastes

Gen 4
Torterra is the best starter ever totally not because it was the first one I got and from the first video game I played
Infernape is fine, I don't dislike it but I don't like it either. Penguins are cooler

Gen 5
First gen with some starters I think are actually ugly
Serperior is my favorite because he is a cool snake.
The pig is goofy looking and boring, but samaurott is worse because the first 2 of its evolutions were good upright otters with ninja shells, and then samaurott became some gross thing with flippers instead of arms that looked nothing like an otter.

Gen 6
Good starters, I like them
Greninja is obviously the coolest one, thats no contest.
Chesnaut is fine
Braixen was a very good design that caught on very quickly. Everyone loves braixen. Even the company itself markets braixen heavily over... its evolution... such as in the anime and tekken game. Then it evolved into it's post menopause form, delphox, who lost all of the design and character personality that made braixen a hit. Even the anime makes fun of the difference between braixen and delphox.

Gen 7
ALL ruined potential
Primarina is the least offending design because at least it is consistant with it's middle evo
Decidueye took his cool first two evolutions that had a fancy suit motif and completely abandoned them for some horribly failed attempt at becoming the next greninja. If he stuck with the original motif of dartrix and expanded on it he would be a chef's kiss starter design.
Whoever decided to replace whatever cool final evolution litten and torrocat were obviously building up to with that pathetic garfield looking shithead furlslop incineroar should eat a bullet.

Gen 8
Literal feces poopoo garbage slop
I don't care for anthro starters, but cindrace is probably the least stupid of the three. Rillaboom would be in his place if he didn't have a fucking drumset that he just bangs on in battle instead of physically attacking pokemon. A starter that can only attack by summoning a wooden musical instrument is goofy and dumb.
Worst for last. That fucking lizard is a potbellied lankcel fingerblasting flaming FAGGOT! He can go to niggerhell with whichever GF employee molested him into becoming inteleon

Gen 9
Slight return to form from gen 8. Minus one insufferable nigger pokemon.
Skeledirge is a quadrepedal pokemon, something I thought GF would never make again. He's also a crocodile which is cool. I picked him
The cat is decent but not my taste.
Now the duck, I don't have to do hyperbole like I did with inteleon when I call him a faggot. This pokemon is literally exclusively desinged to be a flamboyant drag queen tranny faggot pokemon. Are faggot water starters the new GF trend to expect?

Kanto: Best: Bulbasaur; Since it's not only the best looking of the three starters, but also since it has a pretty good moveset, which makes it pretty good to have on your team, especially for early game.
Worst: Charmander; It's a pretty generic starter that Pokemon keeps shoving down our throats, it's a pretty meh pokemon to use, and is only good due to how much Pokemon decides to buff it.

Johto: Best: Cyndaquill; It has a really cool design and evolution line, plus has its Hisuian form which makes it a top tier starter for me.
Worst: Chikorita; Mediocre.. Really cute design though.

Hoenn: Best: Torchic; Cute pokemon with great evolution line, I love fighting types, so a Fire/Fighting is awesome.
Worst: Treeko; Still a cool pokemon but the weakest of the three.

Sinnoh: Best: Piplup; I know it's not the strongest of the three Sinnoh starters, but I love the design of the whole evolution line, plus its Steel type it gains when it evolves into Empleon, is pretty cool.
Worst: Turtwig; Pretty cool pokemon and probably the strongest out of the three, but is sort of one-note.

Unova: Best: Snivy; Probably the only cool looking one out of the three, but it is just really cool and looks so smug which is pretty cool.
Worst: Tepig; Cute but ugly when it evolves, also not very good. Cool shiny though.

Kalos: Best: Froakie; Kind of overrated, but still pretty awesome. Cool shiny, and great in battle when it becomes Greninja.
Worst: Fennekin; I like how it becomes a wizard but it kind of sucks in battle.

Alola: Best: Litten; Cute cat pokemon, becomes Fire/Dark as it evolves into Incineroar, also becoming a gigachad. Great in battle.
Worst: Popplio; I just don't like the design, heard it's decent.

Galar: Best: Sobble; Cute pokemon that evolves into a freaking sniper (which i'm pretty sure is a reference to James Bond). Don't care it's not very good in battle.
Worst: Scorbunny; Overrated lame pokemon, good in battle, but was every normies choice.

Hisui: Best: Rowlet; Awesome design for it's final evolution and really redeemed Rowlet for me.
Worst: Oshawott; Cool final evolution, but they obviously didn't care for it as much as for Cyndaquil and Rowlet.

Paldea: Best: Sprigatito; Cute pokemon, cool evolution line, coomer meme pokemon though, sadly.
Worst: Fuecoco; Idk, just kind of basic.
 
Hoenn: Best: Torchic; Cute pokemon with great evolution line, I love fighting types, so a Fire/Fighting is awesome.

You gotta die for these takes,
 
Best
Gen 1: Charmander because sta ing out is slightly more challenging + I don't have to waste another space in my team to be able to use the fly HM
Gen 2: Cyndaquil because it evolves early and looks cool
Gen 3: Mudkip even doe it can easily solo the entire game
Gen 4: Chimchar because it evolves early or something idk don't care that much about Sinnoh
Gen 5: Oshawott because the other two are fucking ugly

Worst
Gen 1: Squirtle because it's boring
Gen 2: Chikorita because it's boring and has a bad matchup against most of the gyms
Gen 3: Treecko because it's boring
Gen 4: Turwig just because
Gen 5: Tepig because it's ugly
