which starter do you always end up picking and why

Every new pokemon game I tell myself I'll go with the grass starter and then I cave and pick fire again. Curious if people choose for looks, for the final evolution, or for how easy it makes the first gym.

water, nearly every time. it's boring but the water starter almost never has a bad matchup in the early gyms and usually gets surf or a good special move. only exception was gen 4 where i took chimchar because fire types were so rare in that region.
