Imagine you were starting a pokemon journey and all that lark, with little to no knowledge of individual pokemon, pretend you don't know what each mon evolves into, who's strong who's not etc. Out of all the first form three-stage mons in pokemon (discluding pseudo's), who do you think would be your partner pokemon? Would you go off of looks, the kind of personality that mon (typically) has, whatever first impressions you think'd have that pokemon win you over.
