Started out in gold.... 15 years ago, dang. I'm getting old My buddy Cydaquil kept me company as I ventured through the harsh and unforgiving land that is Johto. I must say, I restarted that game soo many times, I believed I new game'd 3 times before finally getting to Whitney. Each time picking a new starter.
There used to be a link to an Imageshack picture here. Lmao.

Moving this over to PGC since it's more about the games than the franchise in general. ^_^

Also, my memory is muk so my first starter either had to be Torchic in Gen III or Bulbasaur back in RBY but I don't know if I was really exposed to RBY enough back in the day...

This is very difficult for me. I technically started with Emerald in Hoenn, but I didn't really grasp the adventure. It wasn't till Pearl came out that I grasped the seriousness of the game, and bonded with it and the characters I met. So, if you ask me, I started the franchise with Treecko, but I started my journey into the world of Pokemon with Chimchar.

Shee, I was six back then... I think the first cartridge I played was Yellow, but Pikachu ain't on the list...
so it's either Gold or Blue I played then. But I do not remember which I picked for Blue at all, but I know for Gold I picked Cyndaquil, so that's my pick.

I definitely remember playing with Squirtle way back in Red version. My Squirtle was also the first pokemon I ever owned to reach level 100. Oh man thinking about this hit me right in the nostalgia.

I started in Kanto, and I chose Charmander. (Didn't even take the time to look at the other 2 on my first run ha.)

I was wondering... if someone's first game was a Mystery Dungeon game,
should the user vote for the pokémon they resulted accordingly to the personality
test or the one they chose as partner?
Oh wait, some of the possibilities aren't core game starters...

I definitely started with a Squirtle in LeafGreen, I remember that much. It was also the first Pokémon I ever reached Level 100 with, though that was after I transferred it to Pokémon Diamond.

As I was more focused on Sega things at the time, I never got any of the handheld Nintendo consoles until the GBA but I didn't get any of the Pokemon games out due to there being so many at once and the prices. I did however get Diamond as it felt like a fresh start and I was pretty hyped for it seeing the starters and trailers and such, I was going to pick Piplup no matter what. xD

Started with Gen 1 (because I'm an old hag) and Bulbasaur will forever be my precious toad son. No one can replace him, really (although, I'll admit Snivy came real close to, but no luck!)

Went for Mudkip, since it was my starter of choice in my first Pokemon game, Ruby. Still remains my fave of the Hoenn bunch to this day.

I started off with a Squirtle card as my first Pokmon game was the TCG for the GB Colour. I had no idea what I was doing most of the time, haha, but still had fun regardless.

If we're talking main games, that's likely Chikorita in Silver Version. I restarted so many freaking times though, including the first ever run of it, because I couldn't figure out how to get out of the house and figured I must have done something wrong. I was a derpy kid at times, haha.
