Let's talk about starters. What are your favorite starters in terms of personal coolness, usefulness, and HAs

I always liked the Sinnoh starters a whole lot. I think part of it has to do with the fact that 2 of them were original types, but they always stood out. I like all of the starters, but the 5th gen ones saddened me a bit, and I'm not talking about the typings this time. They felt kinda underwhelming, not that that's gonna stop me from breeding them eventually though.
