What was your very first favorite pokemon? The ones from R/B/Y.
Mine was Charmander. I was drawn to it from the first ep it was in. It was so cute and I chose it in red despite the fact I knew it would be the hardest to train.
So, what are yours?

My first favorite Pokemon was Scyther. I just thought it was pure win.

Rhydon. No reason, really; I just looked at it and decided that it was made of win.
I still love it, too.

My very first was either Pikachu or Venusaur; probably a little bit of both. Then my favorite was Sneasel for a long time. Then I discovered the awesomeness of the Poison type and Vileplume was my favorite. Then the fourth gen came out and Toxicroak with it. :]

Lapras. It's just adorable. :D
Shadow Lucario
08-07-2008, 01:03 AM
My first favorite pokemon was Mew, but then I saw Lucario in a dream before he was revealed, so now I'm obsessed with Lucario.

Mine was Dragonite. Followed by Sandslash :D

Persian. because it was a feckin' cat. I was most upset when I found you could get it in Red. D:

Actually, I was quite fond of most Kanto Pokémon and lacked an absolute favorite until I was interduced to Houndoom, which has remained my favorite ever since <3

I almost forgot Alakazam! He and Scyther tie for first place :\
Prettzel
08-07-2008, 01:48 AM
^Same with me, except replace Alakazam with Kadabra. I still think they're made of win, and I still use them whenever I can.
Shining Eevee

Bayleef. It was in my card game, and is one of the Pokemon deepest engraved in my memory. I was a freaking 4 year old. I still have the box. "Complete with new Pokemon from Pokemon: Gold and Silver versions!" or something. Yay.
Then Charizard, because I generally associated it with Pokemon itself, even more than Pikachu, and I still do.
I still like Bayleef because, well, I'm a nostalgia freak when it comes to Pokemon. Charizard for the same reasons. And both have awesome designs.

Charizard. I've explained the story somewhere...but I'm not going to repost it.
Pikachu
08-07-2008, 03:28 AM
Pikachu, DUH!!!
Pikachu is the awesomest Pokemon in the world.
Featherfur
08-07-2008, 05:13 AM
First Charmander, then Charizard, then Eevee, now Umbreon. =3
Storm, Earth, and Fire
08-07-2008, 05:19 AM
It was either Pikachu (first I learned of), Eevee (first plushie), or Bulbasaur (my choice of starter on Blue).
Charteon
08-07-2008, 07:52 AM
Charizard and Jolteon.
They're still my favourites today.

08-07-2008, 08:31 AM
Lapras, Articuno and Rapidash. Before I got the games I got this pokedex book with all the pictures and pokedex entries. [:

Growlithe
I remember those days so well ;^;

08-07-2008, 03:17 PM
Probably pikachu, since my only experience with pokemon back then was the anime.
Vixie
08-07-2008, 03:21 PM
Vileplume, Jumpluff, Venomoth, or Dewgong.

Pidgeotto was my first favorite. My first game was Yellow which, strangely, I had before even having a game boy. It was my brother's actually. We just played it on our friend's gameboy. But anyway, I didn't really like Pidgeotte as much, since I thought it looked like an old bired, whereas Pidgeotto looked young and cool.
Porygon. I just-- decided I liked it.
In the second generation I liked Lugia, I didn't have any favorites in the third, and then the fourth showed the awesomeness of Gallade (which is still my favorite).
Shadowstar
08-09-2008, 08:25 PM
Palkia for the win! It's awsome like that.
Dark Butterfly
08-09-2008, 10:56 PM
My first favroite was Wortortle, He looked so cool to me and when the Wortortle episode came on I was like "yay! Wortortles are in the anime!" they are still my favrote.
Flametail von Karma
08-10-2008, 04:26 AM
Hmm, don't think I ever really thought about it. But I'm pretty sure it was Typhlosion, as it still is. <3
Reventhas
08-10-2008, 05:13 AM
Blastoise. It's hard for my favorite to not be my first pokemon... especially when that was the only one I used for the first 2 times I played the series. After that... Ninetails, or maybe Luxray.
Commahappy
08-10-2008, 05:15 AM
Ninetails is pretty awesome...definitely in my top ten :\
Kali the Flygon
08-11-2008, 04:34 AM
My absolute first favorite was.....
Beedrill
After a little while, I considered Butterfree to be my favorite, and then Scyther took over for the longest time. Nowadays, it's Flygon ;)
RainbowRayquaza
08-12-2008, 07:23 PM
I liked Charmander and Charizard best and ignored Charmeleon, now I like Charmeleon better than both of them. I also used to love Vaporeon but now it's my least favourite Eeveelution.

ponyta
i dunno why, i just thought it was cute
plus i got a ponyta card in my first pokemon tcg booster pack
Ketsu
08-12-2008, 08:09 PM
Pikachu, because of my then worse Satoshi obsession.
shadow_lugia
08-13-2008, 12:49 AM
First was Spearow. Because that was my first card, first Pokemon known.
Then I watched Pokemon: The First Movie, and fell in love with Mewtwo. Literally.
And then I went to Charizard. Who doesn't like that?
Then I found out about Moltres. And loved it. To death.
And I switched to Lugia as numero uno after that, but I still got a thing for Rapidash. Rapidash Yeah~
Oh, and I've loved Scyther ever since I read The Quest for the Legends.

What I was like 7 when I heard about I first saw Pokemon on TV? Ah, I think it was the first episode I remember was the Grandfather Canyon one...
So in short, before I start typing my autobiography, my first favorite Pokemon was a tie between Vulpix and Eevee (I think I liked foxes or something). However, now and always, my absolute favorite will be Vulpix.... ah, those were some good times...
Rasrap Smurf
08-13-2008, 05:56 PM
Flareon iirc.
I could be wrong, that was years ago.
Twilight Dragon
08-15-2008, 09:24 PM
My first Pokemon game was Ruby, lol, so I didn't get to play RBY until much much later. Thus my first favourite pokemon was a Hoenn pkmn *blush*
But, my favourite Kanto pkmn is probably Dragonite. Ubers ftw XD
Lucariking
08-15-2008, 09:52 PM
the first pokemon game i played was silver so it was typhlosion ^^
Stormecho
08-16-2008, 07:28 PM
Charizard. <3 And then Umbreon, Houndoom, Mewtwo, Rapidash and a whole lot more. But Charizard was always my first. ^^
Maron
08-16-2008, 08:32 PM
Dugtrio, when I was playing Blue it was the strongest in my team :3
It was either Wartortle (is that how it's spelt?), Blastoise or Butterfree.
Shadowstar
08-16-2008, 08:50 PM
Palkia, Dialga, Darkrai, Umbreon, and Arceus are tied for first place...
Aobaru
08-16-2008, 10:36 PM
Bulbasaur. Definitely Bulbasaur. :0
Twilight
08-16-2008, 11:13 PM
Raichu was My favourite Pokemon when I was 5 and didn't have a game . When I got my first game, Silver when I was 7-10 My favourite was Chicorita.
Dannichu
08-16-2008, 11:36 PM
I've always loved Pikachu. Ever since I ran into one for the first time in Viridian Forest on Pokemon Blue and it was all fat with stunted arms and a Raichuish tail <3
FLICKxxOFF
08-19-2008, 12:55 AM
... Vulpix... I thought Brocks' firey dog was the bestest thing EVER
BiPolarBear
08-19-2008, 03:47 AM
Oddish. :D And it's still absolutely wonderful to me and still a favorite. Then, when I got to see one in Blue, Ditto, which is also still a favorite.
Arylett Dawnsborough
08-19-2008, 03:52 AM
Vulpix, actually. I loved it~ And then Growlithe became another one of my favourites as well. They're still favourites, of course. <3
Invader Palkia
08-19-2008, 03:53 AM
Hmm... I can't remember, but I think it was Articuno. Or Arbok, or Pidgeotto
And Vaporeon, I remember wanting one sooooo bad x3
AND ONIX! I think Onix was my absolute first favorite, which is funny, because Steelix was my little sisters first favorite x3
PichuK
08-19-2008, 05:23 AM

firepoke4ever
08-19-2008, 06:07 AM
I didn't have a favorite until Gold, when I liked Typhlosion. After I got Sapphire, I liked Camerupt and Manectric. I kind of like Torterra.
Mercury
08-19-2008, 07:24 AM
Pikachu because it was the first ever Pokémon I got (Pokémon Yellow was my first game), and I thought it was really cute. I only ever trained it and the Squirtle you get in Vermilion City. The little anime I saw probably helped that too.
Proto_Fan
08-20-2008, 12:10 AM
HITMONLEEEE. <3
Then probably Wortortle. It has an swesomely floofy tail. :3
Fredie
08-20-2008, 11:21 PM
Not sure, but I think that my favourite Pokémon is probably Eevee, I just love the way that it can become so many different Pokémon!
Crazy Linoone
08-21-2008, 04:21 PM
Pikachu. Because it was the main character in the anime, and that's the only Pokemon-related thing I know back then. Charmander was next.
Renteura
08-23-2008, 06:44 PM
Either Scyther or Lapras.
GSE it was Sneasel.
Darksong
08-30-2008, 03:53 AM
My first favorite pokemon was Mew, but then I saw Lucario in a dream before he was revealed, so now I'm obsessed with Lucario.
Seriously? Did it look right? If it looked okay, you probably have ESP (extrasensory perception).
I didn't find interest in Pokemon a lot until R/S, so mine was Kyogre. But out of the first 151, I thought Kangaskhan was nice.
Jigglypuff. It's cute, pink, and round. *Squeals*

09-09-2008, 12:24 AM
Psyduck. I'm embarrassed. D=
The Alpha Banana
09-09-2008, 03:49 AM
It was Kangaskan (even though I don't know if I'm spelling it right ;D). Or, more accurately, Kangaskan's baby.
Nivinso
09-09-2008, 10:32 AM
My first favorite Pokemon was Charmander. I always loved fire and dragons.
Abufi
09-09-2008, 11:21 AM
pikachu! i thought it was adorable from the moment i first saw it v_v it's still my favorite to this day, but alongside a few others. i don't really like how 3rdgeneration and up they kinda made it skinnier, it was cuter when it had no head or neck and its face was just on the top of its fat round little body
god how come the japanese can make stuff adorable just by making them fat
Worst Username Ever
09-09-2008, 04:54 PM
Rattata.
When I saw Sneasel on my game it became my favorite, and it still is today.
Erindor the Espeon
09-09-2008, 05:04 PM
Jolteon. An electric dog is pretty flippin' sweet. Obviously, now it's Espeon.
EmeraldLeafBlade
10-13-2008, 02:36 AM
I can't remember if it was my first favorite, but when I was younger I loved Ninetales. I still do, just not as much.
EeveeSkitty
10-13-2008, 05:58 AM
Charmander. I always liked it but it's been moved down in the ranks since I got older. Nowdays I prefer Ninetales but it is somewhere in my Top Twenty favorite Pokemon.
Jason-Kun
10-13-2008, 06:19 AM
Kyogre, and it's still in my permenate top three, right above Mudkip and Charmander.
kimimaru
10-13-2008, 10:28 PM
From R/B/Y, I always liked Dragonair.But of course, up to this generation, my favorite is Lucario.Period.:D
Flora and Ashes
10-13-2008, 11:02 PM
I always thought Lapras was awesome.
Alexi
10-13-2008, 11:44 PM
Squirtle, it was the first pokemon I saw and I thought it was the cutest!! And then Pidgey. Then...Chansey. XD Ah, the days of Red. So long ago, so long...
Cabon
10-15-2008, 03:19 PM
I think it was Articuno. I used to love its glittery wings on Pokemon Stadium. xD I liked Ninetales, too. And Dragonair.
When I got my Gold version, I fell in love with Totodile, though. D: just... too cute.
GorMcCobb
12-23-2008, 04:46 AM
My first fave was Bulbasaur. I named it Bob.
EeveeSkitty
12-23-2008, 05:13 AM
Wait a second, Ditto was my first favorite Pokemon. Mistook this for Favorite Pokemon right now or whatever. I think.

Victreebel. Even way back before Red/Blue were out in English and the names hadn't been finalized yet (when Gyarados was called "Skulkraken," Haunter was "Spectre," and the Machop line were named after different forms of martial arts, like "Kung Foo" instead of Machoke), Victreebel was always my favorite for some reason. Which is why I got the Red version when they finally came out; I had seen screenshots of Oddishes in the Japanese Blue version and assumed that since Oddish/Bellsprout are version-exclusives, that meant Bellsprout would be in Red. Of course, I also didn't know that Japanese Blue version was different from the American Blue version at that point...
Victreebel also happens to be my current favorite.
Kurai
12-27-2008, 09:34 PM
I think my first favorite was Zigzagoon.(Now my favorite is Vulpix.)
Xikaze
01-03-2009, 02:36 AM
Bulbasaur.
I've grown up now and moved on to Ivysaur.
Skymin
01-03-2009, 04:14 AM
I think it was Mew. I was obsessed with the thing for a long time. I still like it, but not as much.
Bombsii
01-03-2009, 09:21 AM
probably caterpie or wartortle.
Then I fell in love with Totodile and Cyndaquil.

my first favourite pokemon was a tie between torchic and his evos
but if it's from gen I then it is and always will be Scyther, i deliberatley left out was because I didn't have a favourite from gen I until recently (about 4 months ago after reading "The Quest for the Legends" and it's spin-off stories
