Also, while we're in inequality mode: Squirtle > Piplup > Oshawott > Snivy > Charmander > Cyndaquil > Bulbasaur > Mudkip > Totodile > Torchic > Tepig > Treeko > Chimchar > Pikachu > Turtwig > Chikorita
In terms of the full starter lines, though, the Piplup line and the Cyndaquil line are my favorites. Tepig line is my least favorite.

another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high
