>>36552813In my experience, girls chose starters based on their own personalities, much like boys.
Bulbasaur was for weird girls and girls who like flowers and nature and that type of thing.
Charmander was for tomboys, rednecks, and girls who saw themselves as tough. Wrong side of the track girls, typically.
Squirtle was for chubby girls and cute girls who just like cute things. The patrician's choice, of course.
