Your First Pokemon Capture

In Blue, almost certainly Pidgey; unless of course it was Rattata...

In Platinum, it was a Starly, with Pokérus. It's now a Staraptor, and infected all my Pokémon throughout the adventure. A few steps after capturing it, I then caught a shiny Starly...

I want some of that damn luck.

I think it was Bellsprout. I didn't like catching pokemon for a while. .-.
 
Sapphire: Zigzagoon

FireRed: Pidgey

LeafGreen: (same as above)

Emerald: Poochyena

Diamond: Starly

Pearl: Bidoof

Platinum: Starly
 
Blue: I think it was a Ratatta. It was ten years ago today, as a matter of fact, so my memory's a little blurry.

Yellow: Caterpie. I was trying to ape Satoshi's anime journey as close as I could.

Gold/Silver/Crystal: Sentret. I wanted my first catch of Generation II to be a Johto Pokémon.

Ruby: I think Zigzagoon.

Emerald: Probably Poochyena.

FireRed: Pidgey. Currently the Pidgeot I took to the Elite Four.

Diamond: I'm pretty sure it was Starly. Again, it's now a Staraptor, and it's been on my team ever since.
 
It's always one of the Pokémon on the first Route, since I like catching a full party of six right in the beginning of the game.
 
I don't remember very well.. But should be..
Gen II : Sentret
Gen III : Wingull
Gen IV : Starly
 
It was either a Pidgey or Rattata in Blue. A Zigagoon in Sapphire, and a Starly in Pearl. I can't remember Gen II....
 
In Pearl, Shinx (now a Luxray), I trained all the way up to Level 80 somethin'. In Platinum, I don't really remember... Maybe Starly/Shinx. But the first Pokemon I caught that was seriously apart of my team is Geodude (now a Golem) :3
 
Pidgey all the way. 1st pokemon I ever caught. Starly is a good replacement for it.
