Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Any reason why? I'm sort of curious as seeing that you're the only one who voted for Sinnoh.
As for myself, I'm fond of Johto, especially the middle stages. I find the Cyndaquil line to be my favorite, though the other two are pretty close to being my favorite, too :3 I'm quite fond of their designs, save for Croconaw, slightly, and my fondness for the Johto region, brings enjoyable memories with each line :D

No tie option? Damn, my favorite set overall is a tie between Kanto and Johto. Sinnoh would be my favorite set, but it has Chimchar and I just don't like Chimchar. Same with Hoenn which has Treeko who, in my expeirence, I have found to be useless. So I guess my list of favorites would be
1. Kanto & Johto
2. Hoenn
3. Sinnoh
1. Kanto & Johto
2. Hoenn
3. Sinnoh

It depends on which type you're talking about.
I don't like the Sinnoh starters all that much, so they're not anywhere on the list.
For grass, it's Chikorita.
Bulbasaur is good, but I like Chikorita more because it's cuter. I don't really like the Treeko line. Grovyle is okay, but I don't like Sceptile at all.
Fire is always my favourite type to choose as a starter. Not because there's a lack of fire types or anything, I just like them more. Charmander is okay and cute and so is Charmeleon. Charizard it easily the best of the three final evolutions of the Kanto starters, but the Cindaquil line are so much better. They're so cute. As for the Torchic line, they're also the best of the Hoenn ones. I like Torchic, then Combusken is okay, and Typhlosion just looks to amazing.
As for water, I'm not sure. Definitely not Totadile. I don't know why I don't like them, maybe they just look too aggressive, I don't know. Mudkip is okay, but as that line evolves I dislike the line more. They seem dirtier for some reason. I know that they're supposed to be mud fish or something, so that's probably why. Also I dislike Mudkip because of the annoying meme. Squirtle is probably my favourite. Blastoise is best out of the water starter's final evolutions. So... yeah.
Overall I'd say Johto.

We're used to them; the Sinnoh starters are sort of noobs at this point.

Kanto. Kanto. Kanto. Kanto.
Squirtle.Badass.
Bulbasaur. Badass.
Charmander.Badass.
All of their other forms.badass. I'm spoilt for choiced with these 3, they're what got me hooked on POkemon, I saw a poster for Blue with them on. Mystifying.
I hate the Hoenn Starters.
Johto probably second purely because of totodile and cyndaquil.
I only like Piplup in SInnoh

Kanto's starters are a bit...weak. Squirtle is a water-type, and it never changes through evolution. Thus, the only moves it can learn natively are water-types, like Surf and Water Gun. This gets boring after a while. Charmander, in the original Kanto games, learns only fire-type moves until it evolves into Charizard. Bulbasaur is the better of the three, because it can learn both poison and grass-type moves.
Johto: While I like these, they don't compare with Hoenn's.
Hoenn: These are the best IMO, because of the type variations. Blaziken is both fighting and fire, so it can learn moves from both types. Likewise, Swampert and Marshtomp are mud and water types. Having multiple types for each starter makes more variation of moves, and less Pokemon are needed in the party because the multiple types make other Pokemon unnecessary.
tl;dr: Hoenn.

This was a really hard choice for me, and being me, I'm going to explain why in long detail that most likely no one will actually read.
Overall, I voted for Hoenn, because I love Blaziken best of the fully-evolved starter forms, and Sceptile's pretty kick-ass too. Swampert... well, I don't dislike it, but it's not too appealing either, ya know?
Kanto... Blastoise is awesome, closely followed by Charizard. Venusaur is in the same boat as Swampert.
Johto... I absolutely adore the whole Chikorita line, but... Typhlosion and Feraligatr looked... I dunno, too plain or something for me. I still like them, but meh.
And Sinnoh... Well, I love Infernape, and my Empoleon's saved me countless times, and I also have a soft spot for my Torterra, however... again, they're all just "good" to me.
Going by the pre evoultions, I'd have to go with Hoenn also, because I love all three, Torchic, Treecko, and Mudkip. In fact, the only starter I don't really like is Piplup.
