Poll: What was your first Pokemon?

[Sgt. Dante]

Red: Charmander, what's not to like?

But one of my favorites has to be Houndoom, got nothing to do with that fact that my friend used a grass/psychic team xDDD

 

[SwimmingRock]

Played a friends Pokémon Red and picked Charmander, because he looked the most usefull in a fight. Named him Spock, because I was somehow under the impression that he had Vulcan-looking ears even though Charmander doesn't actually have ears. I blame GameBoy graphics.

 

[Nooners]

Bulbasaur in Blue. Stayed with me for a loooooong time, that 'mon.

 

[Josdeb]

I'm pretty sure I started with Bulbasaur in Red version

 

[Andrew_Mac]

i started with pokemon blue. so it only seemed right to have a squirtle.

sucked in a battle with my bro. he had pokemon yellow...

 

[Dags90]

I chose Charmander (char!) in Blue, my brother chose Bulbasaur in Red.

 

[Teh Ty]

For me it was bulbasaur from the original RED.
That was awesome. Since then, I've stuck mainly with fire pokemon, but I'm hoping to use he new grass pokemon started for white and black.

 

[SonicKoala]

I chose Squirtle in Blue - yeah, he was awesome.

 

[poptart123]

I started playing Pokemon late so Treeko in Sapphire.

 

[chieften]

Squirtle in blue.

 

[nico74]

Totodile in Gold I got all the way to Jasmine only using my crocodile companion...then I had a lot of grinding to do.

 

[Seta.br]

"BLASTOOOOOOOISE!" In blue. To my regret later when I learned that charmander would turn into a "badass dragon woot!".

Today I'm cool with it, and would choose squirtle all over again.

 

[Nagisa94]

Squirtle in red.

 

[BeepBoopBrother]

Squirtle from Blue.
Nowadays I usually dump my starter in the box and use a Cubone/Marowak.

 

[SplicedUp068]

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

 

[eggy32]

Charmander of course. Who wants a plant or a turtle when I can have a little dragon with fire on its tail?

Also I may have been influenced by the Charizard on the front of the box and cartridge of Pokemon Red.

 

[Anchupom]

Squirtle in Blue.
All my mates had Charizards and I was rather competitive...

I also had an Onyx and a Chansey. They were broken as hell in Gen I. Very powerful. >

Off Topic:
Has anyone noticed a disturbing trend in the Captchas becoming less legible every day?
