Poll: What was your first Pokemon?

[Escapefromwhatever]

Charmander! Char char!

 

[Ih8pkmn]

Cyndaquil on Pokemon Silver. Before that, I honestly thought Pokemon was just a shitty cartoon. Now, I just think it's a bunch of mediocre games.

 

[Scout Tactical]

Choosing non-grass is for casuals, even as your first Pokemon ever.

After your first run, all other runs should be Nuzlocke at least, if not harder.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Starter: Squirtle
Game: Blue

I never let that Squirtle evolve into a Wartortle. Ever. I saw Wartortle as a worthless middle-man stage, so mine went straight from a Squirtle into a Blastoise.

Charmander (in the original Red). I mean, it's a fire-breathing dragon. You don't get any cooler than that.

Oddly enough none of Charmander's evolutions are counted as "Dragon" type.
Also, I'm a Bulbasaur guy myself.

edit: they are not counted as "Dragon" type

I meant in that it looked like a dragon, not that it was of the `Dragon type'. Apologies for the confusion.

Charmander. Pokemon red, but nowadays when I play it I am more likely to go for Squirtle.

 

[BanthaFodder]

Totodile mo' fos
Silver FTW

 

[Shining_Pyrelight]

Bulbasaur, Red Version.
Sadly it's dead now, thanks to a wayward "new game" and a friend I no longer speak to.

 

[Telris]

Ever since Red I've always started an new generation with a fire starter, even if it was a friggin' monkey.
Charmander is still my favorite starter.

 

[KingArmery]

PIKACHU!

I loved my Pikachu from Yellow, but Brock was always annoying to fight because of his Onyx. I would always need to capture a Caterpee and evolve it into a Butterfree just to finish that boss battle, and then immediately after winning I would place the Butterfree into my PC (where it would never be called upon for battle again) because I had no use for it after that.

Other than that con, Pikachu was such a great Pokemon. Misty never stood a chance...

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

I had blue version, but I chose Charmander first. Damn what happened to the awesome fire starters, now we have a flaming pig.

[Ladette]

Bulbasaur in Blue, because my brothers picked Charmander and Squirtle and I wanted to be different.

Every game since then I traded for an Eevee though, I love Evee.

 

[teh_Canape]

Squirtle FUCK YES

on Pokemon Red

then Totodile BALLS YEAH

on Pokemon Crystal

 

[Trippy Turtle]

i started Pokemon late so mine was a mudkip in sapphire.... i didn't know how to catch Pokemon so it was level 94 by the time i reached the elite four.

i liek mudkippzzz

 

[AnAngryMoose]

Squirtle from Blue. Good times...

 

[thecoreyhlltt]

my first was an evee, so i can't really vote since it wasn't any one type. although i guess i could put water-type since that's the one i evolved it into (can't remember it's name though)
but yeah............ GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL, POKEMON!!

 

[Kingsnake661]

Bulbasaur, cause i almost always try and pick the least popular one. (Don't recall if i had a blue or a red. I ended up with both.) But I ended up hating grass types so much, i went fire after that for each of the other games.
