> Who is the first pokemon
idk if this one was already answered, i suppose it was but yolo
This question, while sounding easy to explain, is actually a bit complex to answer due to how the story progression of Pokemon was composed.
You see, there's a conflict between IRL, the Pokedex & the lore, because, IRL it would be Rhydon, as it was the first pokemon ever designed. In the Pokedex, it would be Bulbasaur (marked as #001), but in the lore there's this issue between Mew & Arceus, and while Arceus is marked as "the creator" of the whole universe & pokemon, Mew is marked as "the ancestor" of all of them, meaning that either Arceus & Mew existed already or either one of them created the other, and an official explanation was never released, leaving the whole topic in the limbo.
It really depends in what side you prefer to see it, but long story short:
IRL: Rhydon
Pokedex: Bulbasaur
Lore: Mew/Arceus
