Hmm, my favorite Unova starter is probably Snivy... though Im not using my Serperior already, and I rarely use any starters for long. I dont like the designs much... in Platinum, I release my starter as soon as I catch myself a lvl 3-5 shinx and play with it as a starter.
The only starter I used for long was Swampert named Tammo in my very first Emerald game. It was insane, Ive beat the whole game with 1 hugely overlevelled swampert and 2-3 move holders all below level 30. Its attacks was rock smash, surf, earthquake and... tackle.

Yeah, Im shocked now as I look back, too, I have NO idea how I managed to play that far.
