Well, its really your own opinion but the easiest starter to use is bulbasaur because he is easy to raise and has an advantage over quite a few gyms

The best Starter is Squirtle just in your game have a Fire Or ice type.
Personally, I always use fire pokemon starters. I think they are the best. If i were you, I would get the Chimchar.
you should choose torchic because fire and fighting is good at most hoenn gyms
You cannot catch a bulbasaur or any of the starter Pokemon from kanto or johto in Pokemon emerald. These Pokemon must be traded over from Pokemon versions leaf green and fire red. I wish starter Pokemon could be found in the wild, it would be so much better. :)
There can never be a defined 'best fire type'. I like Charizard as he is also a flying type.
