My first choices:
>Charmander
Because all my friends said he was the best. I only rented a gameboy and Pokemon from Blockbuster at this time. When i finally got my own GBC and Blue, i picked Bulbasaur and never looked back.
>Totodile
>Treeko
>Chimchar
>Oshawott
>Froakie
This one gets me riled up. I remember when he was first revealed, he wasn't very popular, online or in my friend circle. Still, i liked him a lot. But when the leak hit and he was revealed to evolve into a Dark ninja frog, there were a ton of "oh i loved him since day one!! Froakie was always the best!" Like no, you bandwagon fuck. Everyone i knew started with him.
>Popplio
Only because i wanted Litten, but my other friends chose Rowlet and Litten. I typically pick the leftover one so we can breed for dex completion.
>Scorbunny
I know nobody cares about my stories but they're nostalgic when it comes to some choices.
