Post subject:  The very first pokemon made?
Hi I was wondering. Does anyone know what was the first named pokemon. I know Bulbasaur is #1 in numerical, Does anyone know which one was made first. I was thinking that Pikachu was because pokemon movies are made by the Pikachu Project. I was just making sure.

Can anyone answer this question?

It could be Mew as it was designed to be the ultimate pokemon back then.

Wasnt the ultimate pokemon the original uber legendary? Mewtwo? Because it was supposed to be cloned from mew and then they upgraded it? But It might be.

I doubt this could be found out.

Someone was probably drawing up some ideas in a sketchbook when they thought of Pokemon. I don't think they just sat down and drew out each Pokemon in order as they went along.

Yea probably. And superwill just because bulbasaur is #1 in Numerical but It doesnt neccesarily mean that it is the first one made.

It was Rhydon, you see, misingno was one the last pokemon there was, but they decided to take it out of the game, but they forgot to get rid of its battle data, thats why it exists. But there's a way to really badly glitch up your game, and when you do the last ever pokemon, missigno evoles into the first rhydon.

Yes, when the RBY games were programmed, they used the decimal system 0-255. In the first spot was Rhydon; however, this proves nothing. Just because it was programmed to be in the first slot doesn't mean it was the first pokemon to be created. As Yoshipal13 said, we may never know for sure. There could even be scrapped pokemon made first that we'll never know about, either.

So let me get this straight: You thing that they drew out each Pokemon in order as they went along? That would be hard, you know. You try doing it.

Anyway, what was the first Pokemon ever made? If we were to so pokemon in the dex, then sure, it's Rhydon. But how are we to really know which was the first ever pokemon? As someone pointed out, it could be a worthless scrap, now. Or, it was so stupid and ugly, that when they started sketching the 4th gen, they noticed the drawing and said "Hey, this is so stupid and ugly, that it fits in with all the 4th gen Pokemon!"

Yeah, for all we know, it could have been Magnezone. Exdee.

If we assume that it was one of the original 151, though, there are several reasonable possibilities.

:arrow: Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle/Pikachu/Mewtwo/Mew: Obvious reasons

:arrow: Rhydon: The first pokemon put into the Hex symbols (maybe as a tribute!)

:arrow: Caterpie/Butterfree/Weedle/Beedrill:

I swear I read somewhere that the first one he drew was a Pinsir...or I might have dreamt it. The latter of the two = more likely. :P

But I'm going along with the idea that it was a bug Pokemon. I mean, I doubt he would have come up with a concept and handed it over to Nintendo, I would have imagined he would have sketched out a couple of ideas, such as Scyther, Pinsir, Beedrill etc.

The only way we could find out the real first Pokemon would be to ask Nintendo themselves.


lol, i fink it iz palkia. *gormless smirk.*

indeed, missingno is a glitch.

who knows? missingno might actully be a pokemon that they deleted, but they forgot and only deleted part of him, so thats why he's triggered by a glitch. missingno probobly didn't look like that before they deleted him, and maybe they didn't come up with a name for him.

Missingno was supposed to be a test pokemon, for when they programed the game. They had to make sure everything worked right, so they put in a couple of krap poemon first. Missingno, M, Garbage block, and all the other glitch pokemon. In fact, Ill bet M evolved into missingno. Originally. But then, after makng sure everything worked, they took it out. They did forget to take out stuff though, thats why you can type in certain pokemo getting codes on your action replay/game shark in red and blue and get wierd pokemon youve never heard of sometimes. I no I heard that on a cheatsite somewhre...like Andys pokemon guide to missingno or somthing...anyways thats the whole reason they wont let you transfer from gold and silver to ruby and saphire, to keep missingno and M at bay. When D/P comes out in a week, people could be using missingno to glitch up peoples game from around the world. That would suck.

Anyways, Ill bet the first pokemon was an artists interpritation of a bug he couldnt catch, or his favorite bug, then he got more ad more done. Then somthing happened and pokemon came.

If anything in the above post is wrong, umm, then its wrong, sorry. Although I think its right.

Nidoran! nidoran! Nidoran! the first sketch is usually the one that changes the most, so female nidoran would have been made, and the creator of pokemon would be like : "LOLLOLLOL WE COULD SELL THIS TO NINTENDO FER MUCH BUX! $$$$$$$!!!" so he would draw it again, and it would be different. they would send them both and shigero (i think thats how you spell it) would say: "LOLLOLLOL THESE THINGYS WILL MAKE ME UBER RICH!!!!" and it did.

Only 'M evolves into Rhydon.

I think it was {poliwag} .
Pokemon Team almost made it a water starter.
Maybe that's true, maybe not.

No it doesn't...Nothing evolves into Rhydon except for Rhyhorn. 'M evolves into Kangaskhan. (Although both 'M and Missingno. can transform permanently into Rhydon. But, that's not evolving, and it's not a super-glitch thing...I did it once, and my game still works "fine".)

And even though Poliwag is a good guess Sarahh (it's Tajiri's favorite), more likely it's either a bug, or Pikachu or something.
I strongly lean toward Pikachu because that is the Pokemon mascot - most everyone's heard of Pikachu if they know of Pokemon.

As sheildon_rulz said, Pikachu was ONLY made popular by the anime, nothing else. Did it have any sort of important role in RGB? No. It only did in Yellow because Yellow was specifically made to be based off of the anime. In fact, they were originally going to make Clefairy Ash's main pokemon, which would have made Clefairy our famous mascot instead of the cute yellow rat. So for all you people who's reasoning was "Pikachu is pokemon's mascot" or something similar, I just threw that out the window. ;o

Anyways, it was most likely a bug pokemon, because that's what the entire concept of pokemon is based after. When Satoshi Tajiri was just a boy, he played with bugs and made them fight, just like we do with pokemon. Fascinated with them, he made his own creatures. So yes, I would be shocked if the pokemon was not of the bug type/based on a bug.

^ I agree, almost everythign you see has to do with Pikachu and nearly every new version has a new pokemon that looks and basically acts the exact same as pikachu. It had one of the first Stone Evolutions, one of the first Baby Forms. I think it has to be Pikachu based off of the comics and the TV show.
