Do you remember the first Pokémon you ever caught?
 
Some of us don't, but I'm sure many also do. What was the first Pokémon you ever caught (excluding your starter, since it's given to you)?

Pidgey. And it was the only Pokemon that I ever trained other than Totodile during my first time playing too hahah. Pidgeot was on level... 36 or so while Feraligatr was level 60 oops.

My first one was a Poochyena on Ruby (I remember it because it's one of the early Pokémon.) I was quite fond of it, and it was the one Pokémon, besides my starter, that I didn't store on the PC. I remember it having a Fire-type move, probably Hidden Power, that made it my ace on my battle against the Ice-type Elite Four.

Yep! It was a Sentret in Silver. Unfortunately, I think I boxed it before I ever evolved it—a real shame seeing as Furret is so cute!

First Pokemon I caught it would have to be either Pidgey, Rattata, or Spearow in Blue.

Pig March 2nd, 2019 10:45 PM

It would definitely have to be rattata. The first one I caught that I actually used as an asset on my team after I finally stopped overlevelling my starter though quite possibly Nidoran.

pidgey. remember it was on my save where i picked bulbasaur. pidgey line is good and useful through my kanto playthrough

tigertron March 3rd, 2019 2:23 AM

I'm pretty sure it was a Pidgey in Red.

Fairy March 3rd, 2019 4:21 AM

Pidgey in Pokémon Red. :)

I remember I kept Gust on it all throughout the Elite Four lol.

Noblejanobii March 3rd, 2019 5:11 AM

So since my first game was PMD Blue, technically I think my first one was a Poochyena (excluding the gift Magnemite).

But since we're talking trainer games, I think it was a Starly named Carly. I still have her on my Moon version I believe.

Noir March 3rd, 2019 3:01 PM

Pidgey in Pokemon Gold. Took it all the way to Mt. Silver and it turned into my first lv100 as a Pidgeot

Imperator161 March 3rd, 2019 3:02 PM

Mine was a Zubat in Pokemon Red. It took me a while to get the hang of the whole catching thing, and consequently, I didn't bother trying it until I reached Mt. Moon. That said, I don't believe I ever used that Zubat, though I did nickname it. I pretty much did a solo run with Blastoise my first play through, and I'm not sure how many other Pokemon I bothered to use until I restarted my file sometime later. The original file should still be backed up on a Mega Memory Card somewhere, so perhaps I should look for it at some point.

Even though I've got memories of the first time I watched the Pokemon anime and the first time I opened a pack of cards from the TCG, I actually have no idea what the first Pokemon that I caught was. I earliest memory I have of catching any Pokemon was Mewtwo back on my cousin's Yellow, but I knew how to catch Pokemon at that point, so I must've caught something before that.

The first Pokemon I caught in a game that I owned was probably a Sentret in Pokemon Gold, but I don't even remember the starter I picked on my first playthrough, so I might be completely wrong on that, too.

Count March 5th, 2019 3:19 AM

I don't remember! So sad. But seeing as it happened about 19 years ago, it's not too surprising. My guess is that it was Pidgey... but we'll never know.

Decibel575 March 5th, 2019 3:49 AM

The first I ever caught was surprisingly a shiny Lotad in Pokemon Emerald. I actually didn't know what a shiny was at that point, so when I saw other lotad were all different, I released it becasue I was afraid I would break my game

adzpower March 5th, 2019 8:56 AM

....I actually don't remember, in my defense I was 8, but by process of elimination and some logic since my first game was Gold I'm going to assume it was either a Pidgey, a Rattata or a Sentret.

Janp March 5th, 2019 9:11 AM

Female Nidoran in Yellow. It was on one of my friend's save. I have fond memories of using her, even though it was only for few days. I beat Brock thanks to her and got up to the Cerulean City. When I played Yellow on my own for the 1st time I caught another one.

the Alolan naturalist March 28th, 2019 5:44 PM

I'm not even sure (it was 20 years ago lol) but I think it wasa a pidgey in pokemon red. Or a ratatta I guess but I feel like pidgey would have called out to me more because of the anime

_pheebee April 21st, 2019 8:10 AM

Nidoran Male in Pokemon Blue.

He look like such a cute bunny.

colours April 24th, 2019 5:59 AM

I think... Zigzagoon or something?? Because Ruby was my first version I think that's one of the first ones that I've caught.

Pumpkaboo92 April 24th, 2019 12:22 PM

My very first pokemon caught was a ratatta, on route 1, I can't remember what I named him though, but he didn't stay on my team for long...I think.

HitmonTV April 24th, 2019 2:14 PM

Twas a Pidgey in Pokemon Red, I never named him. I never use nicknames.

LusoTrainer April 24th, 2019 2:17 PM

Pidgey, on Route 1. And it stayed on my team all the way through to the Elite 4.

lilaë21 April 26th, 2019 5:31 AM

I don't remember exactly (that was so many years ago!) but it certainly was either Sentret or Pidgey in Route 29 in Gold.

Super Pokemon April 26th, 2019 3:09 PM

Was supposed to be Pidgey, then I realized I had no Poke-balls. When I received Poke-balls, a Rattata appeared, then I caught it instead. I believe Abra was my 6th; I remember because I did not quite understand how the pc worked......lol. Therefore, I kept that spot for Abra who I stumbled upon by the lake near nugget bridge.
