what was the first ever legendary you caught?

[Nepse]

Ooh... Hard one. I was probably 3 at the time, fortunately I have a good memory, though (lol). I know it was Blue, it was not Articuno... *Thinks for a couple of minutes*... It had to be... Zapdos. I remember the Power Plant so well, and I was the first (and youngest) of three brothers to catch Moltres, but that had to be nearly a year later.

My first was Raikou in Gold, I caught him after hours of searching outside Ecruteak. I used the leave and return method that makes them change location most of the time. I caught him around my 23rd encounter. He was level 40 and the rest of my team was high 20s and low 30s.(I beat Morty before catching Raikou).

 

[Kyris]

Mewtwo. I didn't catch the birds until after I got him.

My first legendary Pokemon I caught was Zapdos in Pokemon Blue, because one of my cousins showed me how to find one so I could beat my other cousin in a link battle!!! :D

Ho-Oh in Pokémon Gold.
First legendary. First game.
I still love Ho-Oh‼ ♥

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

Either Moltres, Mesprit or Dialga in Pokemon Platinum owo;;;

 

[Cazzef]

Articuno in Pokemon Yellow!

 

[Pokemon Trainer R3d]

It might have been Groudon in Pokemon Ruby or Kyogre in Pokemon Sapphire. I never caught any Legendaries in Yellow or Gold.

 

[Jarred0809]

Mewtwo in Crystal. I never knew he was there until a friend told me, and I caught him that same day.

 

[Juzey]

Uxie in Diamond. I used my Master Ball on it, then I found out Mesprit roamed around and immediately regretted using the Master Ball on Uxie.
Still, there are worse things to use it on.

Let's see...My first legendary Pokemon was Zapdos, on Pokemon Red. I received a copy of Red for Christmas back in '98, and the next day I found out my friend had gotten the same game (his brother got blue).

I was going through the Power Plant sometime in early '99, and happened to see a bird by the exit. Curious, I went to talk to it, it cried and a battle started. The next thing I knew, I was looking at a Zapdos around the same level as my party. I did fail on my first try, and ended up smacking it one too many times...it croaked. Luckily I saved before entering the place, and got it on my second try.

I was rather excited, as I had never seen a Zapdos before, and the next day I went to my friend's house. I pulled out my Gameboy (that's right, I still owned an original Gameboy at that point) and smugly pointed to my newest Pokemon. He laughed, retrieving his own Gameboy Pocket. My friend not only had Zapdos, but Articuno as well. Hahaha....

First game was emerald. I wasted masterball on a solrock, killed the weather trio (Actual battle/thought pattern: Rayquaza appears! HYPER BEAM! Faints! ....HAHAHA COOL! *Leaves*) I discovered how to unlock the regis a few months later, my first was regirock.

Mine was Zapdos in Blue Version.

I'm pretty confident a lot of the older players (who started out with Red/Blue/Yellow versions) are gonna have Zapdos (mainly because its usually the first you encounter) or one of the other Legendary birds. But I guess if those aren't considered true legendaries then my answer is obviously Mewtwo.

 

[Sydian]

Kyogre in Sapphire, though it was my second playthrough. I accidentally killed it my first time through, haha.

Mine was Zapdos in Blue Version.

But then you have players like me who screw up :P I would have hyper beamed poor zap if it was my first game I I bet.

First one I ever caught was Groudon in Ruby. Wasted that good Masterball when I could have used it on Rayquaza :(

 

[Limanya]

Heh, my first one was a lv.99 Articuno, i tested the cheats on my R4. Got him in Diamond :)

 

[Iceshadow3317]

Hmm. Ho Oh in Pokemon Gold (not heartgold)

 

[Hikamaru]

Groudon back in my Pokemon Ruby days.
