Back when "My red dragon is better than your blue turtle" was still a constant debate with my best friend and I.
My red dragon always managed to own his blue turtle. =P
I first used Charmander (in the Red version), because I basically fell in love with it while watching the early episodes of the anime (this was years ago, back when the anime first came out here). I guess that's where my love of fire Pokemon began. I ended up starting with Cyndaquil in the 2nd-generation games.
Although... I don't mind the water-type starters either. I could easily get a serious game going with Squirtle or Totodile, and I always start with Mudkip in the Hoenn generation games.
The very first Pokemon I ever got was Squirtle on my Red Version, because Blue was (and still is) my favorite color. Not the best way to choose Pokemon, but I was relatively young at the time.
I found out about Pokemon before the show aired in America way back when. I had actually got both Red and Blue on release date. I had only asked for one(Red Version) but my mother kindly got me both. I remember I had "Charmy" the Charmander on Red and "Bubbles" the Squirtle on Blue. Played red the most until Missingo. crashed it and I quit playing for about a week out of mixed emotions.(lame I know) I gave my blue to a friend so he could play. He was unable to afford the game. I restarted red and basically did so much better my second time around. Ended up completing my Pokedex and picking up a Mew from an event soon after. Even printed out my diploma on the Gameboy Printer my cousin had. Haha memories :3
In Gold my first was Charcoal the Cyndaquil
In Ruby it was Trezo the Treecko
and finally Norbie the Pipulp.
my first ever was pikachu cuz i started wit the pokemon yellow game i got for my 12th birthday. after that i got silver and my first was chikorita. in 2003 i got ruby and torchic was my first and i haven't gotten diamond or pearl yet sadly.
