What is the first Pokemon you ever saw?

[quilt]

Either Charizard or Blastoise, on the covers of the games when Blue and Red were new.

^
But in game you know we all started with Charmander.

 

[Roughsponge]

It must of been the Blastoise on the front of the Blue box :)

This ad adorned the pages of a gaming magazine that I read sometime in 1998.

Spoiler:

Somehow, that wasn't enough to warrant any excitement from me. It wasn;t until I actually played the game that I started liking the series. XD

 

[Enigma]

Blastoise on the Blue version boxart. :P I'm honestly surprised that I didn't see Pikachu first, at least as far as I can remember. xP

 

[Binary]

I honestly don't remember. But I think it was Pikachu.. you know, that yellow mouse that's always around Ash. ;)
I don't really remember though. I'm just guessing that it's Pikachu because of all the TV commercials and whatnot. It could've been Blastoise or Charizard too. :/

 

[TheSandMan]

If I remember correctly, the first I've ever seen was Onix in the first episode but gamewise, I sure it was either Pikachu(being the mascot) or Charizard(from when I first got Red).

 

[Haberdasher]

I'm pretty sure that the first I ever knew of Pokemon was when somebody showed me a Machoke trading card. Then I got my own deck, and then Pokemon Blue, and then I got hooked. ^^

 

[King Gumball]

It was Clefairy for me (wasn't it the original pokemon mascot before pikachu/the first pokemon ever made?).

It was on the video of the first pokemon movie/show or whatever when Misty and Ash are in Mnt. Moon and they see Clefairy's and Paras's XD idk but I have it on video somewhere.

 

[cazzler]

I remember my first Pokemon clearly haha it was Pikachu, When I was younger, I saw it on the pokemon yellow catridge and was excited to play, I used to think it was the strongest pokemon! ... especially when I started to watch the anime.

 

[Chillout]

I could not really answer that 100% truthfully, but that is only cause I really can remember i remember watching the very first pokemon episode on TV here in Australia. so if that was the first pokemon medium for me, the first pokemon i ever saw would have to be Mewtwo. But I can't remember if i already had some pokemon cards so if i did it would have to be Caterpie I only remember cause i wrote a 1 on the back of the card when my cousin gave it to me. So for me the first pokemon is a toss up between Mewtwo or Caterpie

 

[Osha_say_wott?!]

The first Pokemon I ever saw was Pikachu from the very first commercial for the Red and Blue games. He was getting on the bus with the other pokemons. I guess that commercial really left an impression on me, because next thing you know, I was trying to catch 'em all.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

It was probably Pikachu, since pokemon Yellow was my first game and it was on the cover...

Before my parents bought me pokemon yellow for my birthday I don't think I had any previous knowledge of pokemon.

 

[Maraala]

This one is easy. Charzard, who was on the box of Pokemon Red, which my parent bought me.

 

[Pika-power]

Probably Koffing, it was my first pokemon card.

 

[The Noob Hacker]

Technically, it would be either Mew or Mewtwo as they appear first in the opening to the first season of the anime.

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

Wow that's really hard... to be honest I'm not entirely sure but for some reason Charizard is jumping to mind.

 

[shengar]

Charizard. I remembered those draconic eyes staring at me, while myself with sparkling eyes looked back at it.

 

[Aafi]

HAHAHA. Of course, Pikachu. Whenever I saw anything Pokemon-related, a lot of times they were incorporated into it.

 

[Ninjutsu95]

charmander

[Grovyle42(Griff8416)]

Might have been Nidorino or Onix. I forget.
