What was the first Pokémon you ever saw?

[Reuniclus]

The first pokemon I saw was Blastoise on my Blue cartrige.

[SyracuvatTenlii]

It was Pikachu for me, but I don't entirely count that, because that's how it is for EVERYONE. Okay, not EVERYONE, but a lot of people.
For me, it was Pidgey, I believe, and to this day, I am a sap for Normal-Flying type birds. I don't know why it is I MUST get that Pidgey/Hoothoot/Taillow/Starly/Pidove/etc EVERY time I get a new game, but seeing that first Pidgey was when I realized "Oh, my. This is awesome."

Torchic

[CharmanderMaster108]

The first pokemon I ever saw in the actual game was Squirtle.

[totodile22]

Pikachu, naturally.

I used to change the channel every time Pokemon came on(because I was convinced it was too kiddy for me, even when I was still very much a kid at that time), but Pikachu was the first one I caught a glimpse of.

[PHANTOMxTRAINER]

Actually, mine was Wailmer. The first time i saw pokemon, was on my cousins GBA, and he was surfing. So technically, it was a wailmer.

[Tepig122]

The first pokemon I ever saw was a Bulbasaur.

[Twiggy]

First one? Hmm... Was it Pikachu again...? Seems like it was that. I can't exactly remember after all these years...

[teamplasma]

Well I guess it was because of the box art.

But my first starter was .

[Reshiram5]

For me is was a Pidgey. A lot of people think that Pidgey is annoying (for example I saw this Pokemon Crystal walkthrough just a few days and the narrator (aka the person who made the YouTube account) kept on yelling when he found Pidgey almost all the time. Il even quote him for you " Wild pokemon battle theme plays, a wild Pidgey apeared, PIDGEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Lloyd]

I can't remember the exact pokemon, but the first I saw I can remember was: (exact sprite)

[teamplasma]

The Voltorb alarm clock, then the Pidgey inside. FIRST!

[Platinummaster1]

Poochena was the first pokemon I saw.

[Nytz]

I heard of Pikachu first from my cousin singing that Pokemon Pikachu Gigapet thing's theme song.... but the first pokemon I ever saw was Squirtle from one of those small plastic toys which flashed red when you twisted the knob on the bottom of it.

[SilverX]

The first pokemon I ever saw was Ho-oh. That was a looong time ago...xD

EDIT: Or maybe Charizard. I remember Ho-oh more clearly then Charizard, but I think I saw Charizard first.

[20Hz-Howitzer]

it might have been squirtle, or maybe pikachu. it was such a long time ago.

[Trainer Ranger]

Mine would be dark Quilava.- old pokemon card

[ThePokeMan]

Well, since I first watched the Animé, before playing the games, and I can't believe anybody remembers this, the first Pokémon I ever saw was technically Mew. It's the first thing in the titles, a view of Earth, Mewtwo flies past (in it's suit Giovanni crafted for it), and then Mew flies past as well.

[Wildfire28382]

The first Pokemon i saw, i can't remember (I played red) but i remember a bulbasaur

[Super Pichu62]

First on I saw was a Corsola.
I was scrolling through some channels when is was 5 and saw misty with a Corsola in an old (Orange islands?) Episode.

[DeltaCommando4]

Mine was either Pikachu or Charizard. The first game I played was Firered so I can't remember, it was like 3 years ago.

[Squirtle102]

My first Pokemon I ever saw was a Pidgeot. That was the first card I ever had and first Pokemon I ever saw. This was back in 05' though.

[shinyarceus4]

I believe I saw Pikachu first...

[NismoZ]

I believe the first Pokemon I ever saw was Dragonite. My sister was watching the First Movie and I started paying attention right then.

[Cyrus]

Jeez, I can't hardly remember...I want to say Charmander. I'm not entirely sure.

[DashArmy]

This guy, this guy right here    

[tymp]

Jigglypuff. It was when I found a squishy toy of it in my backyard all of a sudden, probably because some neighbor's kid was playing baseball with it or kicking it around. A chunk was taken out of the forehead.
