I chose Squirtle, I originally wanted to go by the game I chose, which blue= Squirtle.
So that's how I went, then second gen and onward I never let the game choose my starter. Mostly because of there not being Green in America, and that everything past Gen 1 was all about the legendaries, so not really that hard to change the thought process.
