My first two cards were a Meowth and a Geodude. I still have the Meowth but I traded the Geodude at some point :( I think my favorites are the Meowth, my Mewtwo from my history teacher, my Reshiram EX from my friend, and a random Kabuto card that happens to be in German.
Given that most people get Pokémon cards in packs of, at least, 15, and their first is usually a whole deck, I dunno if you could really get a lot of people who remember their first card, I definitely don’t! My favourite is definitely Growlithe, but I have no recollection of what my first cards were really, it’s too long ago!
Oh man Growlithe is one of my favs too! That was one of the first Pokemon that my friend introduced me to. Those were simpler times… But about the cards, yeah, that’s true. I didn’t actually start buying cards until recently, so my collection hasn’t increased by packs or anything
Started pack green leaf, Venusaur. It was good in fights. Then maybe Articuno from fossil packs. Team Rocket cards as well was something very rare, Dark Blastoise was nice to have.
Oh yeah the different team cards are fun. I think I also have a Dark Raticate and a Light Dewgong in my card folder. But I think they’re old enough that you cant use them in competitions iirc
Yea…now the competitions seem a battle between digimons with all those super and mega evolutions and double or triple elements
I was given an Abra and a… I forget in school. First two.
Favorite is my either my Ancient Mew from the movie theater or my gold-rimmed Meowth from the fruit rollups boxes.
Back in the day! I miss when Pokemon wasn’t just a yearly cash cow of bottom quality games to sell merch like cards.
My first card was that promo card (mew?) that they gave out when the first movie came out. My only other card is a sudowoodo, so it’s hard to choose a favorite. Nostalgia vs. a rock that camouflages itself as a tree for some inconceivable purpose. Actually, I think that description settled it. Fav is sudowoodo.
It was a rattata. I bought the gen one duel set. I was a kid, that was the first card on top. From my memory. I think it also had like a Meowth, a holo Machamp.I think was the rare. Super fuzzy memory on the details. This is the set that came with the blue and red glass counters.
