Cyndaquil

>>58357798
My first game was Yellow, so...
>>
>>58357798
Yes. Bulbasaur in Blue. Bulbasaur is just such a perfect design for a first stage starter. Venusaur isn't exactly my favorite third stage, that'd be Swampert. But there's just something about Bulbasaur.

Yeah. It was Charmander in Red.
Though it's now my least favorite of the three

Charmander in red and it remains my favorite starter of all time

Treecko in Pokémon Sapphire. It was one of the few Pokémon I raised to level 100 and tried to bring with me to future generations but stopped after a point because I couldn't transfer it any further.

treecko in ruby
I was a fool and didn't choose the GOAT mudkip...
>>
>>58357798
When I was really little I shared a file on Ruby with a family member. I couldn’t read so it was mostly me just wandering aimlessly when it was my turn, and my family member was the one actually progressing in the game. Does that count as my first Pokemon game or is it the one I actually played by myself (Pearl)?
>>
>>58357798
It was Turtwig, in Pearl.
When I was much younger, I always picked the Grass starter. But after some years, I pretty much abandoned them because I ended up liking both Fire/Water starters much more for each gen and I started building my team in order to hit a maximum of types for SE damage. I always thought that Grass was just completely outclassed by Water in this regard, because both hit Rock/Ground for SE but Water is just so much better overall and I always need a Water mon just for Surf. And for hitting Water for SE I always went with Electric. Yes, Water/Ground mons are annoying but a TM can handle them.
Nowadays, the only grass starter I use is Bulbasaur because Gen 1...is Gen 1.

>a friend showed me the starters' final stage sprites on his game boy color
>huge let down with Charizard and Venusaur
>Blastoise looks like a boss
>picked Squirtle
Charizard is still my favorite of the trio, but Blastoise won that battle.
>>
>>58357798
Piplup in Pokemon Diamond.
>>
>>58359830
It was Red and Bulbasaur for me, but I also remember thinking that Blastoise looked super-cool.
>>
>>58357798
Yeah, it was a shitty ass pikachu that was forced upon me and that refused to evolved
>>
It was either Squirtle or Bulbasaur, I actually can't remember which and it drives me nuts.
>>
>>58357798
Squirtle in Blue!

Both bulbasaur and ivysaur absolutely mog their competition. It's only in the 3rd evos that the other 2 become competative.

strange. While I too picked chadstoise, if you asked me I would probably say Charizard's best sprite is his RBY one.
>>
Got Blue (the superior boxart), picked Charmander. Worked out well since I paired him with Vaporeon and motherfucking Muk as a kid. The rest of my team was HM slaves and death fodder.
>>
>>58357798
Charizard in Red. A kid traded me his Game Boy and Red version for a bunch of my Pokemon cards. After a few weeks he asked for it back because his mom had just thought I was borrowing it. Thankfully I got basically all the cards back, or equivalent cards. That following summer I mowed lawns to save up the money to buy my own Game Boy and Red.

Unrelated but I was going through all of my old Pokemon in Home recently and releasing a lot of the trash that was just taking up space and I found a Blaziken. The caught date of 2012 threw me off at first, but the trainer ID made me realize it was my Blaziken from Ruby (meaning 2002). Somehow during the many migrations it had been given an incorrect caught date. It was, obviously, moved out of the trash box and into a box for safe keeping.

Based Muk chad.

>>58357798
I emulated Pokemon Blue and I'm sure it was a Squirtle but I didn't really care. I later emulated Crystal and had a Totodile which I midly cared about but... it was emulated, lost the save.

But then I had a chance to buy a GBA and Pokemon Ruby. Oh I loved that game. My then Mudkip has now been carried all the way to Pokemon Scarlet. I love that fella. It's been with me my whole life, I always carry him with me on the after game.
