🎮 All 151 First Generation Pokemon
The first generation of Pokémon changed gaming forever. Introduced in the late 1990s, Pokémon Generation I laid the foundation for one of the biggest franchises in history. Featuring 151 original Pokémon, this generation introduced iconic characters like Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo. Beyond battles, Generation I captured imagination. Trading, evolving, and discovering secrets made every playthrough feel personal. Decades later, Gen 1 Pokémon remain cultural icons that continue to inspire new generations of fans.
Bulbasaur
Bulbasaur is the very first Pokémon in the National Pokédex, making it an iconic starting point for the entire franchise. This Grass/Poison-type creature features a distinctive plant bulb on its back that grows as it evolves.
As one of the original starter Pokémon in Red and Blue, Bulbasaur offered trainers an easier early-game experience due to its type advantages against the first two gyms. Its final evolution, Venusaur, remains a competitive favorite to this day.
Ivysaur
Ivysaur represents the middle evolution of the Bulbasaur line, showcasing the growth of both the creature and its symbiotic plant. The bulb has now bloomed into a large bud, indicating its increasing power.
This Pokémon perfectly demonstrates the evolution mechanic that made the series so addictive. Watching your starter transform created an emotional bond between trainer and Pokémon.
Venusaur
Venusaur is the final form of Bulbasaur and one of the most recognizable Pokémon in the franchise. The flower on its back is now fully bloomed, capable of absorbing sunlight to power devastating Solar Beam attacks.
In competitive play, Venusaur has remained relevant across generations thanks to its Mega Evolution and Gigantamax forms. It proves that Generation I designs have timeless appeal.
Charmander
Charmander is arguably the most popular starter Pokémon ever created. This Fire-type lizard carries a flame on its tail that reflects its life force—if the flame goes out, Charmander perishes.
The anime episode where Ash rescues an abandoned Charmander from the rain remains one of the most emotionally impactful moments in Pokémon history, cementing this creature’s place in fans’ hearts.
Charmeleon
Charmeleon evolves from Charmander at level 16, growing larger and more aggressive. Its temperament becomes harder to control, foreshadowing the challenges Ash would face with his disobedient Charizard.
This middle evolution showcases the darker aspects of Pokémon evolution—not all changes are purely physical. The creature’s personality shifts dramatically, adding depth to the game’s lore.
