Poll: What was your first Pokemon?

[thePyro_13]

Original Red version, Charmander reporting in.

You get to set stuff on fire, and then he turns into a dragon to make setting stuff on fire even easier.

The whole game is so much harder with Charmander, but its worth it.

Bonus fun for when we finally find a gym we're super effective against. Grass gym goes down with one hit K.O. after one hit K.O.

#009 Squirtle, Blue.

Who didn't want to choose what could become the giant turtle with cannons in the shell?

*Looks at Avatar and Name*

Best Pok'eman ever

PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

Ahem. Yes, I had Yellow. I also got pokemon about 2 weeks before it got really popular at my school. My Pikachu was ownage, because everyone seem to favor water/flying builds at my school. And also, he hit first (speed stat was huge). Every single time. I lost count of how many times people wanted to trade for him. I had one guy offer me a mew, all three legendaries and a Raichu (you can't catch another pikachu in yellow and you can't evolve yours into a Raichu, so you had to trade to get one.) just for my pikachu.

Ahh, good times. I haven't played a pokemon game since, it dropped out of favor at school and I moved onto RTS and racing games. I mean, play pokemon with 1v1 battles, or play Age of Empires and decimate 7 other friends?

First pokemon of all time: Charmander!
First game: Red!

Some trivia: I beat Brock's Onix with him, and I was so proud! (I was, like, five)
Ever since then I've inaugurated each generation with the fire starter. I'm currently debating with myself because the Gen. V fire starter is my least favorite of the three but...
TRADITION!

Cyndaquil, Silver.
You can't beat Typhlosion ... ever.

It's a bear. On fire. Even Charizard can't top that, dragons are kind of common. But BEARS WITH FIRE MANES?

(Typhlosion has always looked like a bear to me, okay? I don't remember exactly what it was based on, but to me, it's a fire bear.)

I rolled with Squirtle in Red, because my cousin told me Charmander was "hard mode", and I didn't want to make the game too difficult the first time or use a plant. It was a blue fighting turtle, so I named it Leonardo. First pokemon I levelled to 100, too. Man, I haven't played since gold/silver... but looking at what seems to be one of the first cases of a game hitting all-out "DBZ Syndrome", that may be for the best.

My first Pokemon ever was in Charmander in Pokemon Blue. Good times... until I got wrecked by both Brock and Misty on my first try.

Yeah,it is because you legally aren't supposed to bring electronic devices to school unless deemed necessary.I just hid it when we got a ****** bussy substitute and then an all out replacement.

really? weird.
My elementary school did not care as long as we were not doing it in class. and "disrupting the learning process for the class and/or to yourself" or some crap like that.

Makes sense.Parents don't wanna see those tax dollars go to waste.
