First starter?

[Storm Earth and Fire]

Alright, think back to the first main series game you owned. Think back to the first time you played it.

What starter did you get first?

 

[Notoriously Unknown]

Bulbasaur
He was so useful and he kicked everyones butt. The squishy cuteness helped too.

 

[Storm Earth and Fire]

Bulbasaur represent!

 

[spaekle]

Needs more Bulbasaur!

I picked him because the manual said he was the best. :>

 

[Dinru]

Charmander... I think I nicknamed it, too, but I can't remember what I called it, and that nickname is forever lost to the world... though I still have the Charizard that came of it :3

 

[Kai Lucifer]

Pikachu.

'Cause I'm badass like that.

 

[Aisling]

Squirtle! <3 Though these days I'm liking the Chars better, Squirtle and Wartortle are still pretty boss. Just Blastoise that I dun like. D:

 

[Evolutionary]

Cyndaquil~

I got Gold and Blue at the same time but played Gold first :D

 

[Thorne]

I suck so much my first starter was Piplup. ಠ_ಠ

 

[nothing to see here]

I can't remember. I know I started with Charmander on a (badly) half-translated Japanese Blue ROM before the games came out in English, but I can't remember what I started with in my Red version... probably Bulbasaur because I didn't know which Pokémon could learn Cut, only that Bulbasaur could.

 

[Bombsii]

Charmander. Because as a kid I wanted to have a charizard at 6 years old.

Then it was Cyndaquil, Mudkip & Piplup

 

[Amaguq]

Charmander. Red was my first Pokemon game and he was so cute!! Also Charizard was my favorite. And sorry for going off topic but my starters go like this from the first gen to the last: Charmander, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, then Piplup. Anyone else note a pattern?

 

[Lucas₇₅₅]

I think it was Bulbasaur.
Maybe Charmander, but probably Bulbasaur.

 

[Jolty]

Pikachu

I remember starting (my own) yellow for the very first time lol... and quite vividly too
Happy 8th birthday to meee

 

[Flora]

Totodile.

Still adore the thing. <3

 

[Alxprit]

First vote for Chikorita~

I liked her. And Gold was first, so yeah.

 

[Mewtwo]

Piplup.

I'm serious.

 

[Bombsii]

What if it was Mewoth or Skitty from the PMD games?

 

[Evolutionary]

:)

It would be awesome if PMD was your first Pokemon game and you got Eevee or something :D

 

[Sandstone-Shadow]

Pretty sure it was Chikorita, on Silver version. Though I never used it much; I never even evolved it to Meganium. xD My Raticate, Hyper, was my prized Pokémon on that game. <3
