First starter?

[Storm Earth and Fire]

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

Then I would've made this thread in the main section rather than the main series section. The poll would've been ginormous. And I did specifically say in the first post the first main series game, so go with that.

My first in PMD would be Machop for the curious.

Charmander.
I only trained Charmander and taught it every TM/HM I came across. :)

 

[Invader Palkia]

Pikachu. I got Yellow when I was 6, I think.

 

[Mercury]

Pikachu.
Totodile
Squirtle
Mudkip
Piplup.

hmm, Kind of a trend there..

 

[Zora of Termina]

Chikorita.

I now only pick Fire-type starters because those first two gym leaders I ever faced were horrible ><

 

[FKOD]

My first starter was bulbasaur. Bulbasaur used to be one of my favorite pokemon. He's now a level seventy-something Venusaur in my Pearl game (FireRed was my first game, so I could pal park him).

Charmander was my first-ever starter in Pokemon Red. I was like, 5 when I played it.

I chose Typhlosion for the second generation. (Starting to see a pattern here?) Even to this day I love the Cyndaquil line :D Unfortunately, I lost my Game Boy Color with Silver in it at a Home Depot, and never got it back.

Got a GBA later, and with that came Sapphire. I got, you guessed it, Torchic.

Then Diamond rolls around. And for the starter, I chose, take a guess... Piplup. Yup. I decided I wanted a penguin more than a monkey.

Who wouldn't?

Who wouldn't?

excellent question

admittedly though Infernape can be pretty epic over WiFi when it's trained right

 

[Bombsii]

Peenguinnnn.

 

[Minkow]

Me.
ANd ironically, my first was a Bulbasaur, and on PMD a – guess what – BULBASAUR.

 

[voltianqueen]

Totodile in my Silver game. I thought Cyndaquil was "ugly" at the time, but after I used it on Gold... Well, now I love Cyndaquil more than Totodile. But oh well.

 

[Peegeray]

charmander
although i can't really remember my first playthrough of the game, cuz i was so awful at it and kept resetting

 

[Rai-CH]

Chikorita. I thought it was the girl one XD I was a weird 5-year-old

 

[Espeonrules]

My first ever game of the series was Sapphire. Yeah, my first game was part of the Advanced Generation. I didn't even know there were such things as Pokemon R/B/Y until after a while.

Of course, I picked Torchic, thinking it was cute and all. I remember only training Torchic, since I didn't know you could catch other Pokemon at that time.

 

[Dragon]

Salamence

Pikachu. Yellow was pretty fun, until my first game file killed itself when it reached 100 hours.. Then I got Ruby and Mudkip. V_V

 

[Felidire]

Pikachu, on pokemon yellow; Such fun, happy, and somewhat bleary old times.
(How can they call that a "colored" game, I don't think it was even 4 bit). XD
Didn't know you gould get so low.

I remember only training Torchic, since I didn't know you could catch other Pokemon at that time.

Rofl~ Isn't "how to catch wild pokemon" one of the first things they teach you in pokemon games? xD
You must have mashed the A+B buttons to skip through the talking.

 

[apexofawesome]

Charmander. Why would I choose a turtle or a plant when I could have a dragon?

 

[Rotomize]

Pikachu. My first game was yellow, so yeah.

 

[musical tears]

my first pokemon game was ruby. i was in second grade and i chose Torchic (and it was a girl, too). her nickname was Blaze. i kept that thing for the longest time, and i got her to lv. 96. sadly, i got trapped in new muaville and i didn't have any escape ropes or a pokemon that knew dig. also, i had caught an electrode and i saved after i got it. i had to restart, so now Blaze, the lv. 96 blaziken is now gone.
