Balbasaur and evo's suck. Squirtle and evo's are all cool, especially Blastoise.
I also love Charmeleon and Charizard. Charmander is cute, not cool IMO.
Also, Graveler FTW. If you can't beat 'em. Destroy 'em *hints to self-destruct*. Gravelers self-destruct is much more powerfull then the one of Electrode.
I used to like Magmar, not anymore though.
