For a more relaxed playthrough perhaps. Cyndaquil and Totodile are undoubtedly better and can breeze through most Pokémon on their own. Chikorita has a more supportive moveset, and if utilised correctly, it has a lot of potential to help out your other Pokémon out immensely. Of course, this takes more time, so if you have no problem playing through the game at a slower pace then it's actually a lot of fun.
Cyndaquil will always be my personal favourite Gen 2 starter, but I honestly had the most fun using Chikorita of the three, and it's steadily creeping up as a one of my favourite grass types.
