Poll: What was your first Pokemon?

[interspark]

[HEADING=2]CHARMANDER FTW!!

incidently, while finding that one i also found this pretty nifty one that has my avatar in it

 

[WorldCritic]

Charmander from the original Red. Thus began my love for fire Pokemon.

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

Bulbasaur, first two gyms nailed... by then I'd have decent enough pokémon to hold my own in any high gyms.

 

[Lewin Arador]

Charmander in Red version.

I picked Charmander because I thought it looked cool, and I wanted the additional challenge (and perceived power) of the fire starter. I'd heard tell that the game was harder with Charmander, and for a while it was true. Brock and Misty are tailor made to take a fire pokemon down, and Mount Moon was an entire dungeon of fire resistant enemies (Zubat non-withstanding, the confuse-casting jerk).

Typhlosion from pokemon crystal, that was a fun game

 

[OhJayEee]

Charmander in pokemon red.

 

[Dr. Paine]

If you count the buggy emulation of Ruby that I never got more than ten minutes into...

Fire, Torchick.

For the first (and so far, only) game I've put real time into:

Game: SoulSilver
Type: Fire, Cyndaquil (and a girl one, at that. I thought female starters were really uncommon), took her with me all the way to the Elite Four

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Charmander from Pokemon Red, that little guy was awesome!

Because of him I've always used fire pokemon in my team.

 

[Plurralbles]

Charmander, duh.

 

[Gigano]

Man, has it been a while...

Back in the days I always went with that little turtle like water Pokemon, Squirtle, in Pokemon Red.

I went with Pikachu in Yellow, don't think you could choose anything else as I recall.

Really can't remember what I picked in the Gold version, probably the water type again whatever it was.

...Wonder where I put my Gameboy Color.

 

[alithanar8]

Bulbasaur was the coolest looking pokemans out there when I was a kid

 

[JdaS]

Cyndaquil in Crystal. Doesn't get much cooler (ahem) than Typhlosion.

 

[FinalHeart95]

Pikachu. Got Pokemon Yellow when I was like 3.
Good times. Didn't figure out I could save though so I always got to Brock then gave up.

 

[Temah]

Red
Bulbasaur because he was a badass in the anime.

 

[PinkiePyro]

charmander
charchar
red

 

[Quantum Star]

Oh Charmander, you're so awesome (even though you were horribly weak to the first two gyms)

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Pikachu! I choose you!

 

[Guestyman]

Cyndaquil in Crystal. Doesn't get much cooler (ahem) than Typhlosion.

Agreed. Cyndaquil in Crystal was my first too. Represent! *fist bump*

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

Totodile, Silver version.

Feraligatr is still my favorite Pokemon.

 

[mjc0961]

A Bulbasaur that I nicknamed Mr. Poké... I think. Well I know it was Bulbasaur anyway.
