Do you remember the first Pokémon you ever caught?

yes!

Yes it was a zigzagoon in omega ruby

geodude in crystal :) named it after my brother

All the way back when Pokémon Red first came out

Definitely Pidgey

First starter/fist Pokémon caught. I beat the elite 4 with only Noctowl and Feraligtr. Didn’t know how to read everything at 5-6 years old. Even asking what words meant constantly I couldn’t figure out how to catch more Pokémon. Hoothoot was an accident I couldn’t recreate.

Pidgey Pokémon Blue 1996 in my bedroom playing by flashlight. Thanks for 27 years worth of memories.

It was literally this and my name is John!

Accidentally said yes when asked to give my Pidgey a nickname, then misspelled it, resulting in Pigey the Pidgeot!
