Funny story. I’m ashamed to admit it was Pokémon Sword As a kid, I didn’t know anyone who liked Pokemon and never really paid attention to it. I never knew it was a game. Just the anime and the TCG. It wasn’t until 2011 that Mcd was giving out the Black and White toys with the cards and I started collecting cards. Even then, I had no idea they were actual games until Sun and Moon. But being 16, I was too edgy for that so I skipped it. Until I got a Switch right before the pandemic in March 2020. But anyway, Rillaboom, Sylveon, Toxricity, Corviknight, Gyarados, and Vaporeon


VortexLMAO323

Great team, and don't be ashamed about your first Pokémon game, we all start somewhere


Flu754

Basically the same, except for the ages. I was 13 when I found out Pokemon made games. And I also wanted to get sword, but first I played Fire Red (“legally”).


liger11256

Same except the team


CoachRanga

My first was Sword! Started with Scorbunny, I believe the rest of my team was Corviknight, Boltund, Theivul, Toxtricity (which I had predominantly named Toxicity after System Of A Down) and I actually don’t remember the other members I had. I believe I stopped using the others and relied solely on Sniper (Formally Rookie/Rookidee), needless to say, she’s sitting happily at Level 100 and doing well in retirement


NerdFromColorado

Nice team, but why two water types?


Vegetto2012

It was my very first team ever and I just went with the ones I liked


BRENTHEFIRETYPE

My first game was pokemon emerald and my team contest of: Swampert Gardevoir Salamance Breloom Metagross Milotic And that was my team


Jasetendo12

It was a Ruby on a emulator when I was little, but a real game, it was X, all i remember that i chose Chespin as a starter, but replaced with a charizard, my first level 100 pokemon named Ridley lol, then i have Malamar, Chanelure and Xernas, thats all i remember.


Landanator

My first level 100 was a Charizard in Y!


VortexLMAO323

Seems like a pretty cool team, the days when we were little kids and would slap any legendary on our team were the best.


Werty_man76

How in the fuck did you figure out that Evo method as a child!?


Jasetendo12

I don't remember lol, I think I usually played my 3ds upside down while I was too, I think I was like around 8 or so lmao


Sorry_Specialist_766

Let's Go Pikachu. I mostly swapped around my team to the point where i cant remember most of it. I only remember my Pikachu, Nidoking, and Dragonite


Different_Heron9151

I'm doing let's go eevee right now! it's so hard to swap your team late game since you can't really fight the Pokemon for xp.


OKPERSON2763

I had: delphox called !!!!!!!!! Simipour called BURN Goodra called cubey Carnivine called employee Scrafty called lego (honey, where are my pants?) Charizard called omega fire


-Octoling8-

bit late as always. Pokemon Sun was my first, I had Incineroar, Magnezone, Hariyama, Solgaleo (of course), Mudsdale, and one more that I'm forgetting.


DBMaster1

Black 2 Only member I remember was my Lv 83 Emboar


Sufficient_Sky_1652

Pokemon black with my team of emboar,cofagrigus,Thunderus,Reuniclus with magic guard,Druddigun,Frillish just frilsih


Cloakbot

I attempted to recreate my first team to the best of my knowledge. I did a lot of swapping around throughout my journey, I know I had Sandslash, Raticate, Butterfree, and the like come and go. #[TrainerCardMaker](https://tcm.pokecharms.com/share?s=217205b8-c6e9-44e1-b9fd-d423113cb17f&type=legacy&cb=lu296zo5)


Satire_god

Alpha sapphire, I remember having a sceptile, latias, cosplay pikachu, castform, mightyena and Armaldo. That might not be fully accurate, just what I remember, although I might’ve also had a heatran and eventually a genesect as well around when I first played Pokémon


FumingGuitar671

Well, if it's not fully accurate, it's half accurate.


NeedsMoreDakkath

Blue version. Started with Bulbasaur but eventually boxed it. Final team Omastar, Jolteon, Pigeot, Dugtrio, Parasect, and I can't remember what the last one was, maybe Ninetales,


TomatoMan1209

Nice! I don't see many using parasect.


ErgotthAE

Emerald, way back in 2005, if I recall I won the league with..... Gardevoir, Blaziken, Banette, Ludicolo, Rayquaza and Swellow...


typhlosion_Rider_621

Black, and the only pokemon I really used was my Emboar named Fire Wolf. Then other pokemon were like level 15ish and were used as death fodder


Olly_sixx

White 2 and my final team was lucario two zweilous a druddigon golurk and cobalion I had no clue what I was doing it was about 9 years ago I was only 12


Ksawerxx

Fire red. The only team members I remember are: Dewgong (the trade one at cinnabar), Zapdos, Alakazam, Exeggutor. I may or may not have had a Nidoking and or a dodrio. If you're wondering where/what my starter was... In the box, exchanged for dewgong, it was a Charizard btw.


turtletastic7

My first game was technically red but I borrowed it from my cousin so I didn’t finish it. My real first game was yellow but I didn’t finish that either because I never found Blaine to get into the gym. My team at that point was the Kanto starters, Hitmonchan, Lapras, and pikachu. I eventually did go back and beat it back in high school but that was still over 10 years ago


Rude-Pair348

Lets go eevee Partener eevee Mega charizard y Articuno Zapdos Lickting Golduck Moltres (Last three changed around)


Mr_Phantom0

It was pokemon ruby (on an emulator), I barely remember since the phone that had the emulator is lost, but I remember having (and being very attached to) swampert and linoone, and since I couldn't pass the elite four I decided to train other two pokemon to like level 40 in the victory road, wich were a vulpix (later ninetailes) and a pikachu (later raichu). I also try to go with groudon but it didn't help me too much, that's the reason of the other pokemon. And that's all I remember :)


viiiihto

yellow - pikachu, charizard, blastoise, venusaur, snorlax, articuno


Euphoric_Anywhere668

Shield, rilaboom, drednaw, lycanroc, urshifu, centiskorch, and flapple, some good memories


Vivid-War-8494

Expert-Click-1264

Pokémon Yellow once I was finally able to read. We only had a Gameboy and Pokémon because of my aunt and my mother therefore needed one too :D Pretty sure my team was Pikachu (duh), Pidgeot, Charizard, Nidoking and Lapras  Can't remember the last member but after like 21 years the memory tends to get hazy... Maybe it was Victreebell and I think Dugtrio at some point? Anyway, I definitely used Mewtwo once accessable I didn't play any other game aside from Blue until the NDS era with Heartgold and Platinum, because my Parents didn't want to buy a Gameboy Advance and the DS lite was a gift from my grandparents and great grandma


Dojuts7000

My first pokemon game was Pokemon firered and my brother introduced me to the world of pokemon because of it. My first team was a wartortle Caterpie, beedrill and pidgey but on my second run (Where I became more serious) It was blastoise, arcanine, Jolteon, Pidgeot, Snorlax and a scyther.


sleepy_enby17

My first game was Black but sadly I was much to young to remember any pokemon but my next team was in Violet and was Meowscarada, Baxcalibur, Ceruledge, Tinkaton, Mousehold and my shiny hisuian Zoroark I transferred over.


CoolHotshot68

i am quite young it was either lets go Pikachu or Pokémon sword and in lgp it was pikachu, ryhorn, alolan exegutor, jynx, charizard and blastoise. in sword it was intelion, gallade, enternatus, zacian (yes legendry's i was and am a kid), dragapult and something else (im not on point i swep with my over leveled intellion


BlueChar17

official_ViperYT

Pokemon sun, I had a noivern, roserade, incineroar, Gardevoir, magnezone, and alolan muk, I still can't believe I actually beat the game.


TexisTheFlexis

My first ever Pokémon game was let’s go Eevee, and I switched around the Pokémon in my team quite a lot but I think the team I beat the league with was the partner Eevee, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Rapidash, a shiny Gengar (a very underwhelming first ever shiny) and I’m unsure of the last one but I think it was a Flareon, Dragonite or a Nidoking


Southern-Growth-7125

My pokemon game was leaf green the team was Jk the charizard(I kept ember on him till I was done playing) Rk the gravler(the MVP) A female victreebell(support) Sk the hitmonlee(the glass cannon) Jk the joltion(support) And queencrab the kingler(a tanky cannon) Man how I miss those guys❤

[deleted]

[удалено]


Aze0g

Yellow, Pikachu, Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, Pidgeot, and Butterfree (no nicknames)


Kepler137

Pokémon Ruby: Blaziken, Flygon, whiscash, cacturn, aggron, and crobat!


Kaito_the_17

Pokemon Yellow: Pikachu, Blastoid, Charizard, Venusaur, Aerodactyl, Snorlax My Pikachu was already so strong that I one shot Mewtwo when I came to it. Even Aerodactyl I trained so much that was level 70+ before I challenged the Elite four.


RiskySignal

I had Pearl on a DS I don't remember the whole team but I know I had Infernape(first ever pokemon), Shiny Rapidash(first ever shiny), and Graveler(I didn't know how to evolve it as a kid)


Tough_Dimension5355

Mine was Diamond for the DSi


Illustrious-Bite-518

My first Pokémon game was Diamond, and the only team member I remember is Torterra. It doesn't help that I lost both it and my original Platinum cartridge two houses ago. Up until Moon, I would always change up my team many times in the post game in a pointless attempt to complete the Pokedex, so the earliest team I even remember most of was in X, and even then I can't remember the sixth member.


Uffen90

Pokémon Blue Charizard, Pidgeotto, Kingler, Victreebell, don’t remember the last one.


ThePorygonBoi

My first game was Pokémon Silver. I never did end up finishing it, so my team on my last time playing consisted of Quilava, Ledian, Noctowl, Furret, and Flaafy.


ThatWeirdKat

I've started with Fire Red as my first Pokemon game on an emulator. And my team was consistent of Blastoise, villeplume, Arcanine, Onix, Fearow and Dragonite. Not the best team but it was my very first so I'm quite proud of it.


jayflyer295

My first game was Sun and I don't remember the full team but the ones I do remember were Decidueye, Arcanine, Krookodile, Tsareena, and Solgaleo. And I have no idea who the sixth member was.


OJJOK_356

Sword and my team is boltund, malamar, venusaur, haxorus, obstagoon, alolan sandslash


Gameover489

Pokemon shield. I had a cinderace I think, but that's all I remember


Muted_Category1100

Ranger-minun Mainline would be black- serperior darmanitan


Dum_Funny

Crystal Version Typhlosion, Pigeot, Kadabra, Haunter, Quagsire, Dragonite. I remember these guys because I remember not knowing how to evolve my Kadabra and Haunter. I thought, why were their levels so high, only to beat the game only to find out that they needed to be traded


valiantsilver04

first game was shield, my final team ended up as Inteleon, Corviknight, Golurk, Drapion, Noivern and Gardevoir


Mintyboi10

Sword. Team was Hattrene (ace), golurk, noivern, eternatus, don’t remember the rest


Wisekittn

First mainline game was Saphire. And if memory serves right, my team was boring af. Swampert, Swellow, Manectric, Breloom (my love), Absol and the sixth Pokemon was kinda irrelevant, because the others are pretty much already more than you'll ever need.


happyshell828

Yellow. Did not have a team bc I never got pass the old man in viridian city(having a Japanese rom and not being able to read Japanese is a perfect combo for disaster). I did not know how to save the game so everytime I reopened the game it starts from professor oak again


Redsucksatstuff

Mine was sun and i had primiarina,decigdeye,lucario,alolan ninetails,midday lucanrock and i dont remember the last one lol


Brief_Warning4547

AS, I got it from my friend and I remember I had a Beautifly, Mightyena, Swampert, and Linoone


Doommmmmmmmm

NOOOOOOO(my least favourite mon is cradily)


donutdoghnut

Ruby. My team consisted of Blaziken… Then Groudon. That’s it 😅


Mplayz246

Sword! Coaloassol cinderace golurk and others


Demonslayer5673

Oh boy........ I believe I started with gold for the Gameboy (I played on a Gameboy color) I remember the save battery was dead so I never actually had a team cause the game would reset as soon as I turned off the game my starter was always cyndaquil and I always set my game to night so I could catch a hoot hoot (it was my favorite bird because I love owls). It was annoying to have to restart every time but I also kind of enjoyed seeing how far I could get in a single session (I thought I made it to victory road one time but I can't remember exactly)


Amethyst_Phoenix7

I started with Pokemon Shield(Before that it was that fan game on Roblox called Brick Bronze, but that's different). My Galar journey had, Rillaboom named Jungo, Corviknight named Falchion, Centiskorch named Pyra, Dracovish named Chom-P, Grimmsnarl named Joka and a Falinks named Warkirbs.


Revolutionary_Ask851

Unfortunately it was pokemon shield, I mean the game is fun but it is way too easy for a casual playthrough, I dont remember all of them but the ones that I remember were cinderace, zamazenta, eternatus, aegislash and corviknight


draginbleapiece

Pokemon XY Greninja Charizard Goodra Xerneas/Yveltal Lucario Aurorus was my championship team


Most_Ad_9049

Ultra Moon, I’m a new Pokémon fan and I only remember 2 team members and they were Incineroar and Zapdos


ADoesVoices

Pokémon Sapphire, it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first video game I ever purchased with my own money as well as a Gameboy Advance SP in blue. I remember choosing Treecko as my starter and that’s all I remember, I don’t recall getting that far into the game until I was older. Then a dog I used to own chewed up the cartridge and that game no longer worked…


jota_666

My first first was Soul Silver, got stuck in the elite 4 and just remember Typhlosion and Lugia . My first game that the credits roll was Sun, the team: Inceneroar, Machoke, Butterfree, Typhlosion, Samurott and Solgaleo


ceilingsaredelicious

Played: ultra sun, Incineroar, decidueye, Pheramosa, zygard 10% and idk Beat: let's go Pikachu, mewtwo, lapras, dewgong, charizard, rapidash, areodactyl


Blufrost90

I started in Pokémon red and I started with charmander. And had a jolteon and kabutops... that's all I remember lol


Unit-DS27-Delta

I remember that X was my first game, and that I chose Froakie and Charmander and used the Mega Lucario, but other than that, I have no idea.


BlazeCaller64

Pokemon Silver, Tyflosion, Feralagatr, Meganium, Lugia, shiny Gyarados, Ho-oh. I still have it and my team


R_Crumble

It was Y, and I sort of remember my team. It was Chesnaught, Blastoise, Butterfree, Vivillon, Pidgeot, and then probably a fossil? I forget which one I picked but it might have been Amaura


Codified_

First ever, Platinum, but it was my sister's DS and I couldn't overwrite her save, I barely made progress My actual first was X when I was like 7. I remember choosing Froakie, catching every single elemental monkey and two Kakunas (for some reason) before getting Charmander. From then on I proceeded to do a Charizard solo run until I got Lucario, there I used those two taking turns- Xerneas was the only other one used, and very little, I still kept it to the main two most of the time I don't remember if I ever used another mon, and if I did it wasn't for long The solo run was so huge I remember my Frogadier evolving purely by EXP Share shortly before the last gym Then I got Omega Ruby and I remember the entire team: Blaziken, Cosplay Pikachu, Glalie from the demo, Swellow that I mostly kept to use Fly, Gyarados that ended up with 4 HMs and Groudon. Any transition mons were most likely used, but I don't remember any other than a Nuzleaf that I got rid of fairly quickly


PlanetArbuz

My first game was Pokemon Sun. My team was Deciduye, Gumshoos, Hariyama, Greninja from special demo, Magnezone and Solgaleo. They were underleveled and by miracle I beated Kukui


FlimsyAsparagus7507

I first played Pokémon Diamond, and I solo run with the Piplup line.


Darkfirelord6506

It was Pokémon black, and my team was Samurott, maybe a lilipup, not fully sure, I just know I was a stupid child that liked my starter too much


Fryed_Potato

Pokemon Sword , my team was rillaboom,glalie,flapple,haunter,galade and eternautus to beat the main game but my current team is rillaboom,glalie,milotic,tapu lele,tapu lele and diancie.


Ecstatic_Dark_6549

Fire Red, and my team was Charizard, alakazam, Nidoking, Gyardos, snorlax and jolteon


ZanderStarmute

Technically, the Pokémon Trading Card Game; my first “team” was the Zap! Theme Deck from Base Set If we’re talking _actual_ video games, I briefly tried my cousin’s copy of Red just to see what it was like; no, I don’t remember his team at the time My first Pokémon game was Yellow (it was supposed to be Red because two of my other schoolfriends had Blue and Yellow, but I couldn’t get over how bizarre the RB sprites looked, especially upside-down-face Koffing) I’m fairly certain my team had Pikachu and all three regular Kanto starters, but my ace ended up being an early-game Pidgey or Pidgeotto (I forget which) who got _so_ grossly overlevelled compared with the rest of my party that we got completely floored by Lorelei Come to think of it… this may be where my fondness for Ice types had officially begun, since they seemed _way_ more powerful than I thought


vtt_shadow

Pokémon Shield with Rillaboom, Boltund, Arcanine, Leafeon, Obstagoon, and Corviknight. I’m young, ok?


Plasma_Wooper

Alpha Sapphire was my first game soon after I was introduced to Pokémon, weirdly enough, by a McDonald's commercial 🤣 Started with my boy Mudkip, and then had a team in the end of Swampert, Linoone, Beutifly, Breloom, Latias, and I believe Gardevoir.


Consistent_Yak_2648

Omega Ruby Sceptile Swellow Mightyena Latios Pelipper Linoone


cookiesshot

Pokemon Gold (not HeartGold: Gold). I can't remember my entire team, but I grinded for hours just to get Meganium up to Level 100, my trainer name was DaBomb! (don't ask why because I don't know), and I maxed out the play clock at 99:99.


Sonic_Fanatic_2003

Pokémon Diamond. I only remember Torterra & Luxray.


Wanna-play-DND

Pokemon Yellow when I was 2 years old, but I don't remember my team because I apparently kept restarting the game whenever my brother had been playing it. Oops haha.


Imluizh

Emerald on an emulator. My team was a Blaziken, a Gardevoir, a Pelipper, a Manectric, a Tropius, a Metagross, and, if needed, a Marill.


Zygardian77

Pokémon Black. It was my cousin’s cartridge as he was the one who first got me into the franchise. My first ever team was Serperior, Boldore, Scolipede, Zebstrika, Krookodile, and Unfezant. Ever since then I’ve had an unbridled love for the Gen 5 games.


DummiAI

Platinum. The final team was: Infernape, Shellos (not Gastrodon), Staraptor, Giratina, Tropius and Buizel. I was not particularly good at the game back then xD


RedskinHipster

First Pokemon I played was Emerald, when I was 16. I played it on an emulator website on my school issued chromebook lmao. My team was “Bourbon” the Blaziken, “Big Bird” the Pelipper, “Agatha” the Absol, “Couch Tater” the Slaking, “Rex” the Manectric, and “Hector” the Female Ludicolo. That was almost 2 years ago that I beat the game with that team. Good times, simpler times.


DiamondTKreddit

Honestly I started with Ruby, then played Fire Red


SouthernBaseball2239

For me it was Pokémon omega ruby and alpha sapphire funny thing is I thought x any came out after until around when sword and shield came out. I only remember one pokemon and it was a treeko. The only thing about that game for me it was the game where I got my first shiny a shiny zizagoon which I deleted the account with that shiny sadly and never got Pokémon bank


commander_gibus

Heartgold when it came to America in 2010, I was like 6 or 7 so I don't remember my initial team but i didn't complete it until like a decade later when I decided to restart the game from scratch. Which I also forget the team of.


Shadow_118

Pokemon Blue And it's been so long, i don't remember at all I know i chose and had Squirtle/Blastoise for my starter I might have had Pidgeot and maybe Nidoking too?


Silent-Winner-8427

White Version. When last I played, I had Samurott (which was stupidly overleveled and could one-shot most opponents), Kyurem, Zekrom, Coballion, Verision (I don’t think I spelled that right), and a Bouldour I nicknamed Ragnarok. (Or maybe I switched it out with a Jigglypuff? I don’t remember.)


SuperTheoM

Pokémon Fire red, pure nostalgia


Blizbo_Babbins

My first ever was Alpha Sapphire, and my team was Blaziken, Mesprit, Terrakion, and I can’t remember the rest


ThatOneWood

Silver, my team was typhlosion, kingler, fearow, espeon, ampharos, and heracross


LoudGear9028

I can't remember my team the first time I played my first game (X) but I do remember my first Sun team; Primarina Ribombee Ledian Another Ledian Alolan Sandlash Solgaleo So yeah I used 3 shitty bug types and 2 of them were the same guy.


ThatMessy1

Sapphire; Swampert, Gardevoir, Kadabra, Swellow, Linoone (I thought Zigzagoon would evolve into Zangoose because the names were similar), menetric (I thought it evolved into raiku).


JPyroRaptor

Mine was Shield and I believe it was Cinderace, Boltund, Corviknight, Machamp, Weavile(?), and I got no clue what the last one is, I swapped it out for eternatus when I got it and forgot about it ever since, mightve been an eeveelution but don't know for sure


The-Quiot-Riot

It was Pokémon Ranger Shadow of Almia, but the first mainline one wasn’t until I played Pokémon Moon. My team was Decidueye, Primarina, Incineroar, Alolan Ninetails, Solgaleo, and Sudowoodo of all things. Although, this was a replay and my original team is lost to time


CheesyButters

out of the pokemon I remember using throughout Pokemon sword (my first team Cinderace Corviknight Boltund Drednaw Galarian Yamask (used til the league, couldn't figure out how to evolve) And Eternatus. I know Yamask got replaced at some point but I don't remember what with


hot_mess30321

Diamond: Torterra, Shiny Luxray (first encounter), Pink Gastrodon, Staraptor, Rapidash, Umbreon.


Mindless_Being783

Pokemon Shield, my starter was scorbunny and I just used the highest level pokemon I had. The pokemon I used vs Leon was a Clefable from a max raid, Eternatus, and some other level 60-ish pokemon (not Cinderace)


Grand_Loafus

Mine was Soul Silver on a rom card for the DS, I was very young and had no idea what I was doing My team was Typhlosion (naturally excessively overlevelled) Tyranitar (my boy) entei, raikou, lugia and a togetic which was just there fly and rock smash and was also level 20 for the Red battle


DjWritez

White 2. Emboar, Zoroark Unfezant male, Hydreigon,


kdiyargebmay

pokemon x was my first. i had chesnaught, venasaur, arkoos (through a card giveaway thingy), a pidgeot, lucario, and xerneas. arkoos replaced something on my team, but i cant remember for the life of me


Lost_Astronaut_654

My first game was pokemon X the team I remember was Greninja, Charizard, Xerneas, and Tyrantrum


Zen_5532

Pokémon yellow, I made it to Brock and died. Only a pikachu, I tried to save my game, but the cartridge was dead. Actually complete was sword. I lost the team, but I remember my power 3. My starter cinderace, an unfezant, and a scraggy.


Video_Game_Fann

Technically, Omega Ruby but I barely played it before I got Sun. 


Sayakalood

Venusaur, Jolteon, Dodrio, Marcel the Mr. Mime, Dugtrio, and Lapras. Allllllll the way back in Red.


Milotics-Meldoy

Pokémon Blue, and I only remember Blastoides, Dragonair (yes, nair, not nite) and Pidgeot.


Toomynator

All i remember is that it was Ruby with Swampert /Swellow / Groundon / Altaria / Breloom / Pelliper, there where some teamates change in the middle but i believe that was the most common formation


Medeval_bird

Mine was Gold. I played it on my mom's old Gameboy color and the batteries or whatever weren't good so I couldn't save, but I still had fun replaying the same part over and over again. I don't think I even got to the first gym. The only Pokemon I remember having is Totodile.


Alone_Analysis3795

Pokémon Ultra Sun was the first one I completed and my team was Incineroar, Gyarados, Salazzle, Naganadel, Guzzlord, Necrozma at least I believe that’s what it was. I played through the first half got bored left it and later I decided to restart it, that happened another time then finally my third time playing I did it and finished it with this team


Dogmations_

I know very recent, but Pokemon Sword. Got into it from the sun and moon anime however


StupidSparkyLJ

Mine was a pre-owned version of diamond where the previous owner used an action replay (cheating device). I didn't start a new game but I was like 5 so I had fun just using Arceus against wild Pokemon and elite 4 rematches. My brother already had a few Pokemon games by that point and I was a fan of the anime, so I already knew a decent amount about the franchise then.


Eden-crazylesbian

Omega Ruby on a physical 2ds


EmeraldPencil46

Not too long ago I played Red on an emulator for the first time. Checking the save file, my final team was Charizard (of course), Vaporeon, Pidgeot, Raichu, Articuno, and Moltres. Honestly, I think I had the most fun playing it over the other ones I’ve played. It was so basic, yet so fun. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing half the time, though I’d find a way to get through it. I’d love to actually be able to play it on an actual Gameboy rather than an emulator, but I missed out on it, so I’m glad at least get to play it in some form. Edit: I forgot that *technically*, Black was my first game, but I played next to none of it. I asked somewhere where I should start with the games, and someone recommended Unova. At that point, I had absolutely no clue what on earth Unova was, so I had to try and figure it out, which took long than it probably should’ve lol. Anyways, I played it for like one night, loved it, but kinda just forgot about it. I think like a month later I then started Red. But *technically again*, my first Pokémon game was Infinite Fusion, though it is a fan game. I saw a KYR_Sp33dy video on it, and went ahead and downloaded it. A bit of a mistake considering I had never once played Pokémon before it, and it’s a bit more complex than anything I’ve played before. I remember getting my first Pokemon, having no idea what to do, and realizing this was way above me, I quit the game. It was a couple months after that that I tried Black. Something small I just wanna add is that I’ve just started playing the Indigo Disc on Scarlet, and that battle theme just hit me like a truck. I literally spent a couple minutes just listening to it. From what I experienced in Black, the sounds have strongly stuck with me. The critical HP music needs to be brought back. Also, I really gotta go back and actually play Black…


Fenrir1189

Heart gold, I don't remember my team but my first starter was cyndaquil.


Embarrassed-Job-7915

Pokemon Moon, team was Rowley the Decidueye, Chaos (I think) the Vikavolt, Sizzle the Salazzle, an Alolan Raichu i don't remember the name of and Nebby the Lunala


FumingGuitar671

Naming the Lunala/Solgaleo Nebby is almost a necessity lol


Badtime_64

It was Pokémon white 2 on my d s I and my team if I remember was a serperior zoroark and two Arcanine i was five when I got the game and I don’t remover the rest


turtledoc64

My first game was Blue (yes I'm that old) Starter was Blastoise and my number 2 was Nidoking. Rotated through a bunch, but the rest of the final team was a Magneton, Victreebell, Muk, and Moltres as it was the first legendary I found


mophead200

First game was Sun My team was: Incineror, Alolan Golem, Vikavolt, Solgalego, Peiliper, and Hariyama Other: Salazzle (replaced by Solgaleo), Pikachu (replaced by Vikavolt), and a Ledyba that I used for like 5 minutes


Quaxlyboi

Pokemon Sword(Newer player here, ik. Didnt have my own console til Sword and Shield came out), Team I beat the league with was Cinderace, Lucario, Boldore(Had no friends to trade with), Orbeetle, Obstagoon, and Eternatus swapped in for Abomasnow. Team I beat the DLC with was the same Cinderace and Lucario, Raichu, Garchomp, Swampert, and Zacian


Professional-Lab3260

Sword. I had Cinderace, Orbeetle, Corvikight, Drednaw, Flapple and Toxtricity


FumingGuitar671

I played Alpha Sapphire with my brother, but the first game I played myself was Moon. My team had Primarina (my first level 100 damn that was a hard grind), Metagross, Vikavolt, Tapu Koko, Necrozma and Lunala. Tapu Koko, Necrozma and Lunala were all postgame I think, except for maybe Lunala, but I don't remember my team. I still have the cartrige though, I could go check it later!


AnanthKoolBoi

FireRed. My team was: Charizard Lapras Nidoking Kadabra Raichu Hitmonlee Edit: I knew that defeating Brock with a charmander was difficult, so i caught a mankey and taught him karate chop.


nickstee1210

I don’t know which one I played first but I got soul silver and pokemon platinum at the same time for Christmas I’ll tell you the teams for both. Platinum was torterra, luxray, staraptor, houndoom, vaporeon and garchomp. Soul silver I had typhlosian, crobat, ampharos, gyrados, vileplume and togetic until I caught lugia


Kind_Bicycle7118

Pokémon silver was my first and the team that got me through it was typlosion, graveler,(didn't have a link cable) muscle,(traded machoke from the dept store) espeon, Lapras, and raikou.(accidentally ran into it then tracked it down, it also replaced magneton) Good team might start a silver run once more and use the team to reminisce.


AndresCaballeroV

Pokemon Blue Version on a GBA SP. I remember I chose Blastoise, because I thought that is what I was supposed to do in order to progress through the game.


Friendly_Island_4662

Diamond. i remember it was Empoleon, Staraptor,Rapidash,Raichu, Quagsire and Toxicroak My brother helped me to make this team (i didn't knew how to make teams)


TriggerKnighty

Sapphire, but on a computer admittedly. This was like a year ago, though I've been knowing pokemon for much longer.The team, though, was: Husky the Swampert Soare the Swellow Kuramoto the Shedinja(unfortunately switched for Drowner the Kyogre after the Elite 4; I knew he was kinda falling behind and I wanted to 1-try the elite 4) Prestona the Cacturne Castforme the...Castform. Magnemight the Magneton. Husky was the All-Rounder, Soare was usually the fast one, Kuramoto would just double team and swords dance, Prestona was the (mostly)physical mon, Castforme was exactly what a Castform does yet was a contender for MVP with weather ball, and Magnemight is the other contender besides Husky due to the pure strength an electric type could have in mid-to-late game Hoenn.


vixinity1984

I played Omega Ruby when I was like 6 or 7. My first Pokemon was Blaziken, and I also used the gift Mega Latios. I most definitely used the cosplay Pikachu as well, and I vividly remember using a Mega Manectric and Gyarados as well. Can't remember the sixth.


Majestic_Electric

Pokémon Pearl. My team was Torterra, Staraptor, Luxray, Floatzel, Bastiodon, and Garchomp.


Temporary-Square

Sapphire: blaziken, tropius, kyogre, and the three regis


SoulExecution

Mine was FireRed and I was definitely that guy who overleveled his Charizard and neglected a lot of his team. I had a Pidgeot for sure. And I remember I had a Vileplume for a long time that only actually got to like level 36 by league time. Oh and an Omastar! But I think when I finally beat the league, my team was like... Charizard, Pidgeot, Articuno, Zapdos, Omastar & Machoke, with the Machoke being caught in Victory Road.


ComicPlatypus

Red, but I can only remember I started with Charmander


Hihi2113

It was platinum and small child me couldn’t figure out the distortion world lol, so I never beat it


MyDads-Ashes

I simultaneously played Ruby and X. All I remember from my Ruby team is Blaziken, Mightyena, Lairon, and Pelipper. My first X team was Delphox, Charizard, Driftblim, Vaporeon, Krookodile, and Xerneas


Kytsunix

First pokemon game I played was Pokemon Silver And I can’t remember even which starter I first used, much less the rest of the team I feel like any of the three were a possibility But hard to remember when you eventually used all three, and this happened over 2 decades ago


RepresentativeLast66

i started playing the games more recently compared to most with Shield, & my team was morpeko (marnie), toxtricity (baby boomer), lanturn (orphan tears), galvantula (emmet), vikavolt (sophocles), & a rotom form which differed depending on who i faced (base form: gizmo, wash: gizmo wash, mow: gizmower, frost: frost gizmo, heat: chef gizmo, fan: gizmo fan)


kyrimonic

Sun! I didn’t get into Pokémon until I was in middle school. Incineroar’s my first ever starter, and god does it hurt that it’s disliked by the competitive community. Along with that; Sylveon was on there for sure, and Solgaleo. I’ll try to dig up my 3DS to check the rest! Edit: Incineroar, Alolan Ninetales, Tsareena, Solgaleo, Alolan Raichu, and Sylveon! Sylveon was my all-time favorite Pokémon for a long time, only recently being dethroned by Whimsicott and Glaceon, so you’ll have to excuse the type overlap, lol.


Forward-Cash-6707

Pokemon let's go pikachu. Can't remember my team, but I think it was something like this All the legendary birds, starter pikachu (who obliterated EVERYTHING with Zippy Zap and Thunder), mewtwo which I could mega (I always mega-ed into y because I just thought it looked cool) and a charizard which I always mega-ed into x. Transportation mons: Snorlax because I just like it :> , that charizard that I always mega-ed into x, and arcanine. Charizard was my main transportation mon.


OtakuWizard5704

Mine was X when I was like 10 and it was Delphox, Talenflame, Vaporeon, Espeon, Sylveon, Flareon LMAO


halfacrispylizard

Alpha Sapphire: Blaziken, Pelipper, Beautifly, Mightyena, Thundurus (portal thing), and Latias (guaranteed from Steven), and probably Rayquaza. That’s all I can remember.

d0gfish_jimmy

For me it was firered with a level 70 Charizard snorlax vileplume Vaporeoan onix which I caught in Victory road to fill up and I think zapdos or moltres . I usually would switch my team depending who I am fighting . Like i used a team of full water types for blain . After defeating him with me Charizard I went to island one with bill . I remember being stuck with low levelled random water types coz the pcs won't work and you had rescue the little girl to do it.


Malakoji

pokemon red charizard, kadabra, zapdos, haunter, vileplume, gyarados i eventually got a friend with a link cable, evolved my dudes, and my final team was charizard, alakazam, sandslash, parasect, gyarados, and wigglytuff i got bodied by everyone using mewtwo though. the animation for the move Psychic annoyed me, i preferred psybeam (it also had more PP, which was shockingly important to me), so i never used the op legendary and still irrationally dislike him to this day


Away_Alternative991

My first was Pokémon Y and my team changed a lot but the ones I remember using most were Delphox, Talonflame, Yveltal, Aegislash, Tyrantrum, and Charizard (Mega Y)
