Title is pretty self explanatory, so all I will say is answer away!
I'm a silhouette, asking every now and then
Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?
I'm a silhouette, chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home.

My first game was Blue Rescue Team, and when I first heard of the games, I wanted to be a Pikachu. When I got the game, I was so excited to take the little quiz and to pick Pikachu. I ended up with Mudkip. I decided to try again, and got Bulbasaur; frustrated, I tried one last time, and got, yet again, Mudkup! So, I just picked Pikachu as my partner and played as a Mudkip. I like Mudkip, don't get me wrong, but I just wanted to be a Pikachu.

I really loved being Mudkip, though. I eventually evolved into Swampert, and it ended up being my very first level 100 in any Pokémon game ever! I regret starting that game over and then giving it to a Gamestop...

My next game was Time, but I forgot what I was; same with Darkness. XD In Sky, when I saw the new Pokémon added for starting with, I wanted to be an Eevee, Riolu, or Shinx. I decided with Riolu and took used my guidebook to cheat on the quiz and get Riolu. Then I eventually started over and got Eevee, then started over again and got another Riolu! Partnered with Shinx and beat the main storyline (haven't beat post-game yet.) Not going to start over, again, though. XD I like these two. :3

My first Mystery Dungeon game was Blue Rescue team. Skitty was not technically my first Pokemon. I think I played as Chikorita and a few others but quit in the beginning of the game. When I got Skitty as a test result, I completed the game with her first. My name was Angelpuss (I used to play Neopets a lot and that was the name of a Petpet) and my partner was a Pikachu named Zippo. My team name was Pokesavers. I think I got to the second-to-last Rank (Lucario Rank?) before deleting the file. I've completed the game with most of the Pokemon available except for a few, no tsure which ones.

As for Explorers of Time, I don't remember who my very first team was... it might very well have been Skitty again. I remember my very test result I got a Munchlax but I hate the Pokemon so I didn't play as it lol. Actually, the memory is coming to me... yeah, my first Pokemon WAS a Skitty, don't remember her name, and my partner was a Turtwig named Rex. What was the team name? I think it was team Legendary or something. One time I was a Skitty and I beat Dialga on the first try, whereas I think I was a Bulbasaur once and it took me a whopping 30-35 tries :P

On Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team my Pokèmon was a Charmander and my partner was Pikachu I think. Then when I got Explorers of Sky my Pokèmon was a Riolu which I wanted to get the most so I restarted until I got Riolu. My partner Pokèmon was a Cyndaquil.

On Explorers of Sky I had all the legendary Pokèmon's on my exploration team and I was the highest rank. Then one day my friend came over to my house and I never saw my Pokèmon Diamond and Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky ever again... Not to mention I had 200+ hours on diamond and my Pokèdex was completed :/

My first one was Meowth, and partner of Bulbasaur. I decided that I was going to be whatever came up first, which that did, and I kicked some butt in that. I lost the game though, but I never started over.

Cyndaquil! I kept taking the test on Red until I finally got Cynda the first time I played PMD. Now it's kind of a tradition to start with it with each new PMD version I play. I think my partner was a Pikachu, too.

I was a Machop in Blue Rescue Team and picked Totodile as a partner. I had the highest rank until I lost my game forever when it fell out my jacket pocket at a train station. I dunno why Machop isn't on that list but that's who I turned out to be in Blue Rescue Team.

Then I started Sky and I was a Shinx then when I started fresh I ended up as Riolu and picked Totodile as partner as always. I have all the dungeons opened and I'm currently a Lucario with maxed out HP, stats and at Lv 100.

I was Eevee in Blue Rescue Team, Chimchar in Time, and Eevee again in Sky. I eventually restarted Blue because, for the love of me, I couldn't recruit Mew. I had gotten every legendary except that thing. I was also at Lucario Rank, and evolved my two. I had an Espeon + Blaziken combination. I started over, and couldn't get Skitty in Blue. I kept getting Eevee, so I gave up and relinquished on the Eevee anyway. This time, I recruited Mew on the first try. Freaking bugger annoyed me.

Anyhoots, in Time, I have a Pikachu. Seriously. Pikachu is one of the best starter/partners for Time, Darkness, and Sky. Has Discharge, with the chance of paralysis, plus Agility to spam speed the team up. Also has the Stair Sensor IQ and Trap Seer and Trap Avoider. Treecko's just as good, just doesn't have a room clearer move. (Treecko + Pikachu = best partners) Sky, I had Riolu as a partner. And before anyone says anything, I had given Eevee Shadowball and Dig. So we killed Dialga at the end easily. Oh, and as for my restart of Blue Rescue, I picked Torchic again as my partner. I was going to get Pikachu, but every time I refreshed the partner page in Blue, it wouldn't give me Pikachu. :/ I would reset the game all over again, but I'll lose Mew and Kecleon (yes I recruited one, so hard...) forever.

All right, I'll stop now, but that's my share. Heheh.

I'm still on my first play in both PMD games. I don't play spin-offs as much as I play the main series games.

In Red Rescue Team, I was Torchic and my partner was a Mudkip. I purposely restarted the test until I got Torchic and named myself "Ginji" just so I could based it off the manga version of the game. So far, I'm in Magma Cavern about to battle Groudon and our team works out pretty well.

In Explorers of Time I'm Treecko and my partner is a Pikachu. I think I just got to the part where the team was selected for the big expedition and I saved right before leaving.

I got Cyndaquil my first test and just went with it. However I started over not long after.

Well the first time I played PMD, I was Machop, but I got some other lame ones before that and just restarted until I got a cool Pokemon, but hes not on the poll. In Darkness I had the guide so I just manipulated the quiz according to what the guide said and got Chimchar.

I was an Eevee~! ...Given, I had gotten the guidebook ahead of time and had sort of memorized the questions and responses that led to the nature Eevee was associated with. I was pretty lucky that said questions given to me on the test revolved around such XD;

I was Charmander in my first gameplay of PMD Red but I did not finish that one.
From that time, I always was a Machop in III gen PMDs.

iirc, the two Pokemon were Torchic & Pikachu but I can't remember who was the partner and who I played.

Oooh, PMD brings back some good memories. I remember on m very first playthrough of PMD Red, I was a Torchic although I can't for the life of me remember who my partner was. I think it was...Oh, it WAS a Totodile! Can't remember their names though. =/ Then I remember that I started that game over after becoming frustrated near the end (I was young at the time okay? xD) and was a Mudkip that time around. I think I chose Totodile as my partner AGAIN. I remember restarting that one last time and became a Cubone, with Torchic as my partner and got pretty far with that. But I never finished it, and I seemed to have lost it a while ago.

Then, I got PMD Explorers of Darkness and my love for PMD surfaced once again. I was a Chimchar, and still am because I never restarted that game nor did I beat it, and I THINK my partner was a Treecko. I still need to finish that game, in fact, I might go play it after this!

Finally, I got PMD Explorers of Time and got Eevee on my first try, which I was very excited for, and went with a Treecko for my partner. I'm yet to beat that game as well. =/ Oh man, now I really want to beat them. Okay well I'll go do that now. xD
