Your first pokemon

Aside from my starter (Squirtle), the first Pokemon I caught was Zubat. I had made it through past the first gym when it occurred to me that I should probably try capturing Pokemon. Zubat was the first one I encountered after that, so into a ball it went.

I don't think I ever used that Zubat on my team, though. I pretty much just soloed Red with Blastoise.
 
Pokemon Pearl was my first game, I was 7 or 8 years old at the time and my first caught pokemon was either Starly or Bidoof.
 
The first Pokemon I caught was like 18 or 19 years ago on my cousin's Yellow, so no way I can remember that. The first game I actually owned was Gold, and I remember catching both a Caterpie and a Sentret early on, but honestly can't remember which came first.
 
When I was younger, I pretty much went through Diamond with an overleveled Torterra and a team of Starlys and Bidoofs because I didn't know about the PC. My first meaningful capture (and by that I mean the first pokemon I caught once I discovered the wonders of the storage boxes) was this:

As embarrassing as it is, my first capture was a Bidoff at age nine. It is now rotting in my PC Box for eternity.
 
First Pokémon I ever had was Cyndaquil. Not sure, but I think the first one I caught was Sentret.

Never did care for Sentret all that much (though it's closer to the "like" end of the scale than to "dislike"), but Cyndaquil's okay.
 
My first pokemon was probably a Pidgey or Rattata or some fodder pokemon along those lines.
 
I remember capturing a Girafarig in my friend's HG/SS game some time before I started playing myself. Does that count?

My first own Pokémon though was my starter friend Turtwig in Pokémon Diamond. As for the first Pokémon I captured in said game, that was a Starly. Might have been a Bidoof though, not 100% sure.
 
If I remember correctly it might have been Nincada that I caught in Omega Ruby and named it Chop. At least I can remember that I thought it's cute so I really wanted one. Later it evolved into Ninjask and it was really helpful with cutting those prickly trees.
 
I was playing Yellow and Gold around the same time. The first one I caught in Yellow was a Pidgey, and in Gold it was a Sentret. Pikachu and Cyndaquil were my first starters.
 
The first Pokémon I ever obtained was a Torchic on a copy of Pokémon Ruby I rented from a local game shop. However, I eventually had to return that game and say goodbye to my team.

The first Pokémon I ever actually owned myself was a Bulbasaur on LeafGreen. The first I ever caught was likely a Pidgey or Rattata.
 
My first Pok?mon ever was Piplup with the first one I captured being Starly. I miss that Starly. ?^?
 
My first starter ever was a torchic on the Sapphire cartridge sister lended me.

I probably took such decision because of a thing for avians I might have inherited from mother...
or it could be because I used to be her little sparrow...
Then again, there's also the psychological reasons many choose the fire type starter :
Pok?mon games are mostly about combat, are they not? And we're more prone to deem the flame
as destructive force, despite the existance of anomalous waves and monsoons, or the fact that
trees can demolish buildings(the fig tree is particularly adept at digging through rock, if you
have a green roof make sure nobody ever plants one). The colours also influence, since
shades of blue and green are reminiscent of sky, water and vegetation, which of course
soothes us.
As for my first catch, I wrote down about it so many times I suspect somebody will track me
and cut my life short... *peeks out of the window*
Okay, as for my first catch(with sis' help, of course) was a poochyena,
but he was golden-coated, shiny. He was only one of the two legitimate pok?mon I remember
ever getting, the other one being a wingull, always on Sapphire, and probably my last capture
on that game...
Back to the poochyena, I was still a novice and sis' wasn't exactly used to poochyena so he ended up
in the box rather quickly. Because I was a lazy bum, I later put him in the daycare for the sake
of seeing him evolved, and he's now in a box of my Diamond game.
Alas, I wish I had changed his nickname 'tho...

The very first pokemon I've ever catched was a pink Shellos in 'Diamond', if I remember correctly (from the start I only catched pokemon of which I liked the appearance). But my first pokemon ever was a Turtwig.
