my first pokemon caught was a funny thing, when i was 7 and got my first game, pokemon yellow, i thought pikachu was so cool i decided only to use pikachu and leave all other pokemon alone, sometime around the time i finished the silph company i got bored using only pikachu, so i decided to finally to look in the pokedex and catch my first pokemon, i got interested in kabuto, so i went all the way to cinnabar island and then got my first pokemon.
