First 100?

[Fenne-kun]

Empoleon as well on Diamond. It was my first game (then I played older ones after getting hooked) and I was especially attached to my first starter. -shrugs- oh well XD Good times, good times.

[Halipoke]

My first level 100 was a Slowpoke in Gold. It was a solo-run in which I wanted to show my friend Slowpoke can be amazing. Beat Red with my little Slowpoke.

[Curtis talli]

Yes I do remember what it was My first lv.100 was my Mightyena in Sapphire. Only because I kept using it that other party members.

[HeracrossIsBoss]

My venusaur in leafgreen. Ah, good old memories.

[BinaryPeaches]

My Feraligatr on my first Silver before I lost it. haven't gotten a Pokemon to level 100 since.

[Akiyuki Aretukasu]

Mine was Meganium on Silver Version. It grew to LV.100 while I was fighting the Elite Four.

[Aerilyn]

My first Pokémon I trained to Level 100 was my Sceptile I bred and EV trained in Pokémon Diamond. Since it was my first time EV training and I had just entered the competitive scene, it didn't turn out exactly perfect by the time it reached LV. 100, and I never really got to use it very much either. Actually, I don't think I even have that Sceptile anymore since I restarted that file sometime later on. ):

[Toshiro.]

A Charizard from my LeafGreen, but I got him to level 100 on my Black 2 a couple weeks ago actually haha.

[Cirno]

I'm not fully sure, though it could be my Typhlosion from G/S/C as I'm sure I never got anything in the R/B/Y days to lv. 100. >:

[GolurkIsDaBomb]

I've never actually trained a pokemon up to level 100 - never saw the point as I don't do postgame. However, my parasect on my solo run of firered reached level 92 or so!

[Sweets Witch]

99% sure it was a Venusaur in Blue, but there's so much doubt there because it was so long ago. The safe bet is Swampert in Sapphire because I clearly remember that.

[emberjed]

Typhlosion in Crystal, back in '05 or so. It knew, as I recall, Flamethrower, Flame Wheel, Thunderpunch, and Cut (yeah, I know).

[Mr Cat Dog]

I'm pretty sure I got Mewtwo to Lv100 in Blue. I have no idea whether it was the first one or not, but it's the only one I can remember this many years later, so that's my answer, dammit! :P

[LocksmithArmy]

oh man... it was probably my charizard... but possibly my mewtwo... thats like 14 years ago man...

ahh the memories

[fenyx4]

What does "legitimate" mean in this case? Does it mean 'refraining from glitches, Rare Candies, etc.', as in leveling up purely through training/battling?

Since they'd been with me the longest, they were usually the highest levelled, so they also usually made the first in my team in important battles, and thus came a long way ahead. I'm pretty sure I really preferred the Charmander line back then, so my first to level 100 would most likely have been Charizard.

Yeah; my starter Pokemon are typically the Pokemon with me the longest and often end up being the highest-leveled Pokemon I have with me at any given time (and they're usually able to combat most threats effectively, so they're usually ordered first in line in my Pokemon party). As a result, my first Pokemon that attained Level 100 in battle is likely my Blaziken of my first Pokemon Sapphire game. Either Kyogre or Rayquaza or one of the other starters was probably next, especially since they were caught at high levels.

If they're particularly good or I just like them, I put in the effort to breed or catch exactly what I want, then level and train them for as long as it takes to get what I want. Generally though, once they're fully evolved and fully EV trained, I only use them if I really need them on a team - otherwise I'm focusing on the new stuff that I want to breed and catch and evolve and train.

I have boxes and boxes full of level 30-something fully evolved and EV trained Pokemon with carefully designed movesets.

Not sure if you're the competitive sort (as in, Link/Wireless/Online Battles), so it seems strange that you'd go through all that work designing movesets and applying EV spreads but still not eventually train the Pokemon to Level 100. I've heard about an "auto-level" feature in a few recent Pokemon games, though, so I woudl think that the feature discourages a lot of people from training Pokemon to Level 100 when the game can technically do it for them. :/

I usually use Rare Candies (if I happen to have them) right after a Level-Up, unless I'm saving them for a later purpose. My legendaries typically get trained to Level 100, especially due to being at high levels already (which really helps when I'm engaged in a battle with one of those annoying Trainers that I forgot I snuck past pre-Elite 4+Champion Defeat).

I haven't trained a Pokemon from Level 1 to Level 100 yet, lowest beginning level so far has been at least Level 5 (due to Generation 3 Eggs starting at Level 5); might have even been Level 2 or 3, possibly being one of those Hoenn Route 101 Pokemon...

Oh, and in b4 someone mentions "catching one of those Level 100 Magikarp in Platinum Version".

[Lockdown]

Mine was Blastoise on LG. I have been trading her to every game. When Emerald came out, I traded her to it. Diamond, traded her to it! Platinum, she was there, too. HG, again, traded. And she has stayed in Black (I never got BW2). I loved her very much, and still do today. I've used her so much, that if I could see the total EXP she has, it would be over 1,000,000,000, with more than 10,000 battles won, in LG alone. Total battles won would probably be around 500,000. She has Hydro Cannon, Flash Cannon, Focus Blast, and Earthquake.

MY Torterra on my Pokemon Diamond.It took me 3 months but it was a lot of fun.

[waveguidebuizel]

I rarely train all the way to level 100, but I'm pretty sure it was my Blaziken in my second Ruby file. ^-^

[Sydian]

I hate training to level 100. It's a pain in the butt. I have a bunch of Pokemon that are 70-90 between all my games, but I have only...5 or 6 level 100 Pokemon in total, I wanna say. And that's collectively, not all on one game.

Anyway, my first level 100 was CHICTOR the Blaziken in Ruby. I still have her and will be using her in my next Hall of Fame team in my challenge on Emerald. She's also the oldest Pokemon I have, from a Ruby file made in 2004. She has Toxic, Sky Uppercut, Slash, and Fire Blast. Not bad for 11 year old me, but I prefer Flamethrower. I would change it, but eh, it'd feel wrong to do that since it's had that for so long. I think I only did it for Beauty Contests anyway, now that I think back. And yes, her name is CHICTOR. All caps galore. v_v

[jellicentfan1]

I have had quite a few that I have trained to level 100, but my first one was my Blastiose on Blue. It was the only Pokemon that I used on that game other than HM users(I was a noob).

[SaniOKh]

When I was a kid, me and a friend trained level 100 teams to battle each other. My first team was on Pokémon Blue, I can't remember exactly which Pokémon I had, but I'm sure I had a Kabutops, a Ninetales, a Mewtwo, an Articuno... I don't remember the rest. I did it again in Yellow, and I'm sure my team had the four starters, but I don't remember the remaining two. We also did this for Gen 2 games. Yup, I spent a lot of time on training all level 100 teams :) .

In more recent news, I've been replaying Gen 3 for the last few weeks. I've been using Pokémon XD to level up some Pokémon I needed for single player by giving them an Exp Share and battling with Lugia and Dragonite on Mt. Battle. Soon enough, both Lugia and Dragonite grew to the level 100 :) . They're in my Emerald cart now.

[Dylan_DJ]

Pikachu. I didn't evolve it.
Lets just say I thought Ash's team on the anime was unbeatable <_<
