My first Pokemon game was Sapphire. I will always remember walking out of the store with my first Pokemon game, turning on my GBA SP in the car, and beginning my adventure. I only knew the Kanto starters, though, so I didn't know which one to pick initially. So, I went with my gut and picked the one that I liked the most based on design. Torchic was a chicken, ew. Mudkip was a whatever the hell it is, adorable, but ew. But Treecko was a gecko, and I love geckos! So that was my ultimate decision. And I must admit that I was very pleased with it. When I saw its evolutions, I almost freaked out fangirling. Treecko, because it holds the honour of being my first Pokemon ever, will always have a special place in my heart. :3
