Actually, the first Pokémon I caught in Platinum, was a Ponyta. This is because the first time I played Platinum, I was doing that Ultimate Monotype Challenge with the Fire-type.
My first Pokemon was a Starly, and I've evolved it into Staraptor and kept it with me for the whole game. Ever since Silver, when my first Pokemon was a Pidgey, I make it a point to catch the bird Pokemon in the early game as my first one. I'll run from the other ones until I find the bird Pokemon. The only exception was R/S/E, where my first Pokemon was always Poochyena.
