What Was Your First Pokemon In Dppt?
 
I Don't Mean The Starter Pokemon Like Piplup And Chimchar
I Mean
the first pokemon you caught after you got your starter.
Mine Was A Shinx!

Wings Don't Cry July 17th, 2009 1:57 AM

In Diamond it was Bidoof since when I first saw it I thought to myself , looks like I've found a potentional HM Slave, turns out I was right.

Then in Platinum I knew what the Pokemon were from my experience in Diamond and I caught a Shinx because Volkner had a Luxray,of course he also had an Octillery but I wasn't gonna get one of those

ben23492 July 17th, 2009 3:50 AM

Mine was a Shinx too, I hate Bidoof.

Roxasabridged July 17th, 2009 4:47 AM

Shinx in Pearl... which was replaced for whatever reason as soon as it became Luxray.
In Platinum it was Shinx again. Now a permanent member.

Boonzeet July 17th, 2009 4:49 AM

Well, unfortunately it's also a Shinx. Because early on you can only catch Shinx, Bidoof, Starly and Kricketot, you're most likely to own one of the four.

ShinyMeganium July 17th, 2009 4:51 AM

Erm, I remember I caught Shinx first in Diamond. In Platinum, though...probably Starly. I don't catch HM slaves till the point I actually need em.

Calvo819 July 17th, 2009 7:13 AM

shinx. i let it evolve like at level 34, lol

I've had various SHinx' and they just can't take a hit well physical or special. I didn't evolve my current one until 32 so it got Thunder Fang but once it gets its next level it is going.. My Golduck can now go too just as soon as I get the chance to catch a better water pokemon... Maybe an eastern Shellos until that evolves.

On topic: My first was Starly, then the other localised noobs. I just train them til they evolve then release them into the wild, only keeping cool/tough/rare ones.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ July 17th, 2009 7:46 AM

I remember it was either Shinx or Starly, but both of them were on my team


:t354:TG

King of Dragons July 17th, 2009 7:46 AM

My first pokemon that I caught on Platinum was a Starly.

And I am still training it now that it evolved into a Staraptor.

No it is not an HM slave or whatever you call those things.

Pyrax July 17th, 2009 8:07 AM

Diamond: Starly
Platinum: Bidoof

Cheesymitten July 17th, 2009 8:10 AM

A Shinx, i new it would evolve into one of my favourite pokemon, so i caught it.
And trained it up >.>

JP July 17th, 2009 8:19 AM

Can't exactly remember, but I think it was either Shinx or Starly. Shame I can't remember such a detail. :(

.Eevee-Chan July 17th, 2009 8:39 AM

Pearl: Was a Bidoof? or Starly?
Diamond: Same
Platinum:Bidoof

machinegun777 July 17th, 2009 8:40 AM

The first Pokemon I caught was a Bidoof

Ayselipera July 17th, 2009 9:10 AM

It was either a Starly or Shinx.
I remember I caught both for my team.

][ Wolf-Lord ][ July 17th, 2009 10:29 AM

I think it was biddof .. a gread HM holder ...

Starly maybe the second

Satoshi Ookami July 17th, 2009 10:48 AM

Shinx in Pt and Starly in Pearl

Johnny590 July 17th, 2009 11:17 AM

Diamond: Starly :P
Platinum: Bidoof (HM Slave ftw xD)

R3LOAD July 17th, 2009 11:22 AM

Biddof HM Slave and Shinx :)

salmence33 July 17th, 2009 3:41 PM

Pearl:starly
platinum:onix

in platinum I had more experience so I chose onix
I haven't even caught starly yet in platinum

Fenrir Reki July 17th, 2009 3:43 PM

I dont remember what I caught in diamond but in platinum I caught a starly, then trained it to lv 30 and got bored of training it.

Sweet Smoochum July 17th, 2009 3:45 PM

Starly was my first for Diamond. (Starter was Piplup. <3)
Shinx was my first Pokemon I caught in Platinum. (Starter was Chimchar. ^_^)

(I, too, got bored of using Staraptor.)

ReyRey-Pyon July 17th, 2009 5:30 PM

First i caught was a Shinx,
I never cared for starly or kricketot, and bidoof is pretty worthless. but Shinx was so cute, i just had catch it. He's now a permanent member of my team <3

Malicious Metang July 17th, 2009 5:44 PM

I always make sure I capture a Starly first, it's my favorite bird Pokemon since Pidgeot. Plus, access to Fly makes it practically essential in DPP.

Kirbychu July 17th, 2009 5:44 PM

Shinx was mine. I remember practically everything about him too...

spike6958 July 17th, 2009 5:47 PM

Well for me Plat was diffrent at the start, i picked Turtwig, Caught Starly, traded Starly for Elekid egg, hatched Elekid egg, Boxed Turtwig, Caught second Starly, so i don't know who to say as my first Elekid or Starly, but i think Elekid should be it.

dragonqueen0210 July 17th, 2009 6:26 PM

My first caught pokemon would be bronzor actually. I was going for a steel themed team so I ended up using only piplup/prinplup until Mt Coronet.

FreakyLocz14 July 17th, 2009 6:49 PM

Either Shinx or Starly gosh it was so long ago with Pearl I don't remember
For Platinum it was Starly
....1st one I actually used in a real team was Abra

World King July 17th, 2009 6:57 PM

First in my Pearl was a Bidoof I caught without any effort at all.

And in Plat., I caught... another Biddof. Die, Bidoof, Die! You have been defeated!


Cloche July 17th, 2009 7:06 PM

Platinum - Shinx
Diamond - Shinx
XD I love Shinx. I wait until one comes up.

Charsivy July 17th, 2009 7:37 PM

On Diamond, I think it was Starly. I used it on my team for a while. On Pearl, I think it was... Starly. XD And she's on my team as a Staraptor. ^^

Saltare. July 17th, 2009 7:47 PM

Starly, I think.

I named him Ace<3

Niprop July 17th, 2009 7:51 PM

I caught a Starly just cause I needed a second Pokémon to use to beat that kid you first battle. It turned out it had not only the proper nature, but I also properly EV-trained it despite the fact that I didn't even try to. And now she's my highest-leveled Pokémonin the game [that I trained myself].

I also thought I could breed her with my piplup once they got to their respective second stage evos, since they're both birds right?

cannadakid July 17th, 2009 8:00 PM

mine was starly
i always start off with the bird :)

NarutoActor July 17th, 2009 8:03 PM

Shinx in diamond in platinum onix because it was on a pretty high level for the area I just wanted to get throw pt quickly to see the new events

Pokeplup July 17th, 2009 8:10 PM

Whoa...There is alot of Shinx and Starly. And Bidoof is the only been a Hm Slave.
And by the way,My Shinx Is Now A Luxray In Platinum! (I brought it yesterday)

Momoko July 18th, 2009 2:12 AM

Haha I think in Pearl, a Starly, but in Platinum I knew a bit more and caught a high lvl 4 Shinx after a few minutes of scavenging on the route above Sandgem :P

NatureKeeper July 18th, 2009 6:44 AM

Starly. I caught Starly second.

Leyt July 18th, 2009 6:52 AM

Probably Starly. I had a plan of what team I wanted, and a Staraptor was part of it.

HirakuNoShadow July 18th, 2009 7:05 AM

My first was Shinx, because Luxray looks so awesome and actually has decent stats for a beginning Pokemon

Sweet Jasmine July 22nd, 2009 4:39 AM

The first pokemon i ever caught when i bought Pokemon Diamond was probably Starly. In every generation i usually caught a Flying Pokemon Type first.

SparkuxDaichi July 22nd, 2009 5:40 AM

First thing I caught was a Kricketot ^-^

I was so surprised when he evolved to Kricketune so early! But he turned out to be utterly useless...

(I also hate Bidoof)

Momoko July 22nd, 2009 12:47 PM

Mine was a Starly lv2 :D
I always catch the begininning bird pokemon

Xerxes Break July 22nd, 2009 1:23 PM

In both diamond and pearl it was starly, at a high enough level he was better than my starter pokemon.

Haza July 22nd, 2009 2:01 PM

I always catch either Budew or Shinx early on.

Game Over1375 July 22nd, 2009 2:07 PM

On Diamond and Pearl, I first caught a Starly.

On Platinum, I first caught a Zubat!

Starsky July 22nd, 2009 3:15 PM

My first pokemon was a shinx too:)

Silhouette July 22nd, 2009 3:15 PM

Mine in Diamond were a Shinx nicknamed Zemquick (before I figured out about its speed), and a Starly nicknamed Pidgeon (before I figured out it was based on a Starling) =/.

Mewtwo42 July 22nd, 2009 7:46 PM

Mine was Starly, since I don't like Bidoof. I hardly use it anymore, though.

:3 July 22nd, 2009 7:48 PM

I think mine was Shinx in Diamond.
Nice Pokemon

Bagel July 22nd, 2009 7:49 PM

i got chimchar
then caught a starly cause i knew i was going to need a pokemon that knew flie sometime.

ghostofherooftime July 22nd, 2009 8:16 PM

Started with Turtwig (love turtles) then caught me a starly cause Staraptor rule!

Valen July 22nd, 2009 9:10 PM

started with turtwig after it was starly because i needed it for fly :P

Percy Thrillington July 22nd, 2009 9:31 PM

Bidoof... I think? A potential HM slave can never go amiss! Or it might have been Starly. I really can't remember.

Porpoise July 22nd, 2009 10:57 PM

Mine was a Starly that I caught with a Premier Ball. It grew up to be a level 72 Staraptor that is currently my strongest non-legendary pokemon.

La Foudre July 22nd, 2009 10:59 PM

A shiny Bidoof in Platinum, I forget what in Pearl.

Dragonphantom July 22nd, 2009 11:04 PM

Piplup. I usally started with the starter first introduced in the anime. Turtwig and Chimchar didn't really get much screentime in the first ep, so I choose Piplup.

As for capturing, a Starly, whom I still have as a Staraptor named Rapture and keep on my party as all time to help with chaining.

red fraction July 23rd, 2009 12:13 AM

I think a bidoof for an hm slave.
Might have been starly.

chickengamer July 23rd, 2009 2:52 AM

bidoof was my first (turtwig for starter), dont realy like them much though

dark_giratina July 23rd, 2009 2:59 AM

On Idamon , i caught a starly, and got a Staraptor with a brave nature.Then on Platinum, I knew the pokemon and I carried on with my Turtwig until i found a psyduck and Houndoor in the wild :)

Laprasas7 July 23rd, 2009 4:27 AM

* On Diamond Piplup (He is adorable ;))
* On Platinum Turtwig (He looks cute)

Akatsuki July 23rd, 2009 3:30 PM

Mine was a Bidoof. *brick'd* It was used for Cut mainly :P

NeroIV July 23rd, 2009 3:41 PM

Turtwig for starter and shinx, cause he is amazing. (refer to sig. lol)

KingAlex July 23rd, 2009 3:44 PM

Pearl- Piplup, and Shinx

Platinum- Turtwig, Treecko, Mudkip, and Torchic. (I sent them over from Pearl, Level 10, traded back Bidoofs to my Pearl...)

Xtreme99 July 23rd, 2009 7:36 PM

:t354:TG

What a coinsidence, me too i cant remember

MegaSH8 July 23rd, 2009 7:41 PM

At first mine was Shinx but then I didn't really like it. Then I caught a Starly which is now lv. 92. Haha, turned out to be a good choice because it helped me beat the Elite 4.

Giraffes? Giraffes! July 23rd, 2009 11:17 PM

I catch every single pokemon i see, out of habit. But the very first pokemon i got on my Diamond adventure was a Shinx. I never used it at all either D:

xxxLatiasxxx July 23rd, 2009 11:21 PM

My first pokemon in Dppt was either Starly or Bidoof I don't remember.

iX Billie July 24th, 2009 8:06 AM

Mine was a starly (starter:piplup) cause they areawesome! plus WATER RULES!

jolteon. July 24th, 2009 9:01 AM

I think I might have gotten a Starly first. In pearl version.
In platinum version, I found a bidoof first and caught that. Then shiny starly. Woot.

Pekachoo July 24th, 2009 11:20 AM

LULZ OMG DIALGA


no jk it was starly

Pokemoncardmaker July 24th, 2009 11:24 AM

Mine was a bidoof. It sucked horribly.

Sebastien Loeb July 24th, 2009 11:32 AM

A Shinx in Pokémon Pearl.

ZestyCactus July 24th, 2009 11:59 AM

Probably Shinx or Starly... that goes for both Diamond and Platinum.

Enlightened_Adept July 24th, 2009 7:49 PM

I have Diamond,with Chimchar as my starter,and i caught a Murkrow.

Chimchar007 July 24th, 2009 9:14 PM

OOH thats a good quistion i'll have to say that Starly is the first Pokemon I Caught.

mikasalla July 24th, 2009 9:43 PM

I can't resist and endured until Jubilife and catches a Budew (female) with Poison Point xD
I'm a fan of Grass-type and Shuckle xD

Peterlinux July 25th, 2009 1:40 AM

Well, I cant remember lol...

I think it was a staravia, the baby version of that - I can't remember the name.

Akeraz July 25th, 2009 2:40 AM

Buizel.
I prefer to space my team out so I have a wider range of pokémon for my final team.

mew² July 25th, 2009 2:42 AM

On Diamond, believe it or not a Shiny Starly.
On Platinum, Pikachu from the PBR Event.

Dr_Zeus July 25th, 2009 6:11 AM

Mine was bidoof

he was really fast xd

Neko July 25th, 2009 8:35 AM

I'm pretty sure the first Pokemon I caught was a Bidoof. xO

Clouddyl July 25th, 2009 11:33 AM

Starly or Shinx on Diamond (BORING!)

Platinum however, I traded my starter for a newly hatched Growlithe called Faith, she's one of the most awesome team members I've ever had :D

Also, been doing a Flying monotype for practice lately, traded the starter for a Murkrow, he's pretty sweet

Omochi July 25th, 2009 2:46 PM

Shinx~
I basically hunted it down since I really wanted it.

Followed closely by bidoof~

Beloved July 25th, 2009 3:59 PM

I guess I am the odd ball. I didn't get any other Pokemon until Orebaugh. I got Geodude first, and then Onix. Then I went out and got the others that I passed on my way to them.

Inferno1 July 25th, 2009 4:12 PM

I caught a starly but i did not use it, but the first pokemon i caught and used was a Crogunk in the great marsh i dont know why it originally took me so long to capture something nothing appealed to me untill i say him

Tatortotts July 25th, 2009 9:06 PM

Diamond: Starly
Platinum #1: Starly
Platinum #2: Starly

I like Starly.. Sue me. :D

-Tator

TheDolph July 25th, 2009 9:48 PM

Bidoof then trained it to lv 18 and made it my slave.
That's all they're good for.

Worthless pokemon.

Destiny Bond July 25th, 2009 11:10 PM

I caught my bidoof/ my first pokemon with a heal ball. XD

Darkrai-Dude July 26th, 2009 7:13 AM

MINE WAS A STARLY. ON PEARL OF COURSE its cheaper and its the only Pokemon game I've got. I'm looking forward to the release of Pokemon complete darkness on the 29th.

Witch July 26th, 2009 7:16 AM

I believe it was a pachirisu.

pallet town July 26th, 2009 7:39 AM

Sadly, I too caught a Bidoof as my first pokemon, shortly followed by a Shinx. The Bidoof became my HM slave, while the Luxray is still a valuable member of my team.

Yusshin July 26th, 2009 9:49 AM

I never caught a Bidoof lol I think my first Pokémon was Shinx.

Mew~ July 26th, 2009 9:53 AM

shinx my friend went upto the 6th gym in platinum with one pokemon he hacked his game go his pokemkon could learn any move but that was it

Standard Toaster July 26th, 2009 1:12 PM

The first pokemon I caught was definetly a starly. :D gotta love those bird pokemon.

IcyArceusRider July 26th, 2009 1:14 PM

Well, the first game I got from this series was Diamond. My first pokemon on Diamond other than my starter, was Bidoof. Which stinks. I hate Bidoof.

Valo July 26th, 2009 1:22 PM

Did an only run in Pearl, but I had to have HM Slaves so a Starly/Bidoof. Then Palkia.

KrisTaline July 26th, 2009 3:38 PM

I have all three games here.

Diamond, my Starter was Turtwig and I first caught a Bidoof, Starly, Kricketot, than Shinx. Turtwig and Shinx stuck around till their full evolutions and helped me beat the Elite Four.

Pearl, wanted to try something a bit different cause I was reading up so I started with Piplup (Might do that again) and my first catch was a Shinx. I actually went for a Nature that boosted it's best stat. Now I've got a Turtwig on that game too and went breeding a Female Luxray with a Male Floatzel for Ice Fang. ^_^

Platinum, I went for Starly and put the others into a box and slowly built the team up. I though did start with Chimchar cause while I love Fire-types, couldn't really get past the whole Monkey with the flaming rear thing till now. Both Pokemon are now my top performers and capable of doing ALOT of Damage in short order.

luxray_12 July 27th, 2009 2:50 AM

in pearl it was shinx.
in platinum i caught a magikarp :)
i felt a change was needed.
