  • Most likely one of the Raikou, Entei and Suicune bunch... Or Ho-Oh. I trained Lugia to level 100 once though. But I think the R/E/S ones would count, so probably Suicune.

  • Kyogre for me. I would say Mewtwo, but I used to get so frustrated that I'd have my brother catch him for me, so he doesn't count. I freaking love Kyogre, anyway, so I was happy to catch him as my first legendary.
    The first trio I went after was the birds, in fact I caught Moltres first, but my favourite trio is the three sprites. Mesprit's my favourite of those, then Azelf before Uxie. I never cared for the dogs except Suicune. :)

  • For me it was Groudon... I played through the older games, but I always made my brothers catch the legendaries because they'd frustrate me. Groudon was the first one I caught on my own. ^^
    The first bird of the trio I went after was Moltres... I had Blastoise for my starter and hadn't caught any fire Pokémon, so, yeah. Haha.

    First legandary Pokémon I ever caught was Palkia on Pearl. It was pretty interesting to battle against Cyrus and then capture Palkia. Pearl in one of my first Pokémon game so what can you do. :/

    My first was Ho-oh, then it was Raikou, and then Lugia. The first legendary Pokemon I ever saw was Raikou, and I didn't know what was special about it. I just knew it was weird looking and that it was 30 levels higher than anything else on the route, and was confused as to why it ran away.

    I can't quite remember now if it was Articuno or Moltres, almost positive about Moltres being first but i do remember having both Articuno and Moltres when i got Zapdos back in my Yellow days :)

  • Haha, the first? That's such a long time ago! I'm pretty sure it was Moltres in Yellow, but I could be wrong. I'm certain it was one of those birds though! Like TheBritishNerd said, those were good times indeed! :D

    I'd say probably Suicune, maybe? Or Ho-Oh. I doubt I'd have caught the roaming Pokemon straight away, and I remember I was trying to catch Lugia the day I got R/B/Y, and I was getting my hair plaited when I got Ho-Oh which I'm 99% sure was before that, so yeah I'd have to go with Suicune due to not being able to remember when I caught it, thus assuming it was first. ;x If not, then Ho-Oh, since I kinda can't remember the events of Gold aka which comes first, lol.

  • I think It was one of the Birds, so It may have been Articuno or Zapdos, in R/B/Y. In GSC I think It was Entei or Suicune.

  • The first I caught would probably be Dialgia but I'm not exactly sure as I was playing Diamond off and on at the same time I was beating White
