For ORAS I started off with Mudkip since that's who started off with originally when I first got Sapphire. XY wise I started with Froakie.

I prefer grass/water types, except for gen 4.
 
Gen 1: Usually Bulbasaur or Squirtle
Gen 2: Cyndaquil
Gen 3: Mudkip or Treecko
Gen 4: Chimchar
Gen 5: Oshawott
Gen 6: Froakie
 
I think my first starter overall was a Cyndaquil.

As for favorites from each gen, since I've restarted a few games often enough to have more than one...
Bulbasaur
Cyndaquil/Chikorita (I really love both of them, can't decide. Totodile's a cutie, too, though!)
Treecko
Piplup
Snivy
Chespin
 
The crew-

Firered: Charmander (never finished the game, boo...)
Emerald: Treeko
Heartgold: Cyndaquil
Soulsilver: Totodile
X: Fenniken
OmgeaRuby: Mudkip

I realized that I hardly ever use grass types as starters... Maybe I'll reset some of these games and go with grass types that time around~
 
I've restarted too many times to know which I picked first, and I always alternate for the first 3 restarts so I can trade each to a spare copy (so I have one of each).

I would guess I pick the water one first in each version though. I find them the most appealing for like 5/6 of the games.




Honestly though, I usually just shove it in the PC as soon as I catch my own Pokemon since I don't find the starters that appealing at all. I usually go for the first available flying type I can catch, which is regularly Pidgey. I sometimes trade myself a Pidgey egg and walk around till it hatches in games where Pidgey isn't near the start/not in the game so that I can technically still start with a Pidgey.

Pidgey is love. Pidgey is life.
 
Emerald: Treecko
Diamond: Turtwig (Would've done Piplup but the game was used and I didn't feel like restarting. :p)
White: Oshawatt
Black 2: Snivy
X: Chespin, Bulbasaur
Alpha Sapphire: I think it was Treecko again? I did a semi-egglocke, so I never used whoever I chose.
