I'll never forget this fact I read in a Pokémon magazine when I was younger. Ken Sugimori, or at least one of the artists of the original team, used to doodle diglet in his school books. Therefore, Diglet is the first Pokémon 👀
True but that was actually Shigeki Morimoto. He says it in SM and USUM.
My headcanon has always been that Arceus came first, created the Creation Trio, and the Egg that birthed the Lake Guardians also birthed Mew, with Mew specifically being granted some of Arceus' genetic code, which would also be shared amongst the Creation Trio and the Lake Guardians, thus making Arceus the first, but Mew the ancestor of all modern Pokémon while also containing the DNA of ALL Pokémon.

Is Arceus also the first in relating it to ultra beasts? Maybe there's an ultra beast that's even older?
@@KdinIsHere ultra beasts are just Pokémon that only exist in other universes aka they weren’t born in the normal universe
@@Nagatem okay so what if there's a universe older than the one that Arceus is currently in?
my head canon is that they just didnt bother to exclude the legendaries from mew's dna
When making a video about the first type combo debuts, I very quickly decided to base it on the National Pokedex order, because as you have clearly shown, getting pedantic about these facts and what TRULY came first can very quickly become absolutely mind boggling! Great job!
The end of this was such a great surprise I love the who the first Pokemon copyrighted was.
dont pin a video spoiler lel
@@nirgunawish edited to avoid spoiling
On one hand, Arceus was the first Pokemon because it's egg hatching is essentially the Big Bang of the Pokemon Multiverse and the god of that world, but on the other hand, the first Pokemon was the first creature captured in a Pokeball as the term Pokemon means pocket monster. If the creature is unable to be carried in one's pocket in a capsule system, it cannot be a pocket monster, so therefore the era of having partner monsters like seen by the Diamond and Pearl Clans in PLA cannot be considered "Pokemon" as they are pets/partners but not pocket monsters.

Arceus first, created the God trio, then mew then after that the mews adapted and changed depending on their surroundings, giving birth to modern Pokemon. (haven't watched video)
I feel like ditto would have evolved from mew, then maybe ditto into eevee and so on?
@@kenneth0334 no pretty sure ditto is the result of the early attempts of cloning Mew, since they share the same shiny color, they weigh the same, and are the only Pokémon who can learn transform. Being the result of failed cloning also explains why they are just a mass of purple bio-goo.
I can’t lie, I’m technically not first Lillie.
But I have evolved to become something more and doing something that’s a maybe first?

Lore wise, I'd say Arceus was the first pokémon to exist, Mew was the first to naturally occur and Bulbasaur was the beginning of the first widespread and easy to access pokémon encyclopedia.
The first pokemon could also be Nidorino because when the pocket monsters games were finished they would be released to Japan and a customer would first put the game in a Gameboy to begin playing, that person would watch the opening with a Nidorino fighting a Gengar which could tie them but I go a little further to the moment in game when Prof. Oak (or Okido) greets the player and introduces them to the world of Pokemon. This is before we know about the character we will be playing as, Red, or his/your rival Green. The first character we meet, we ourselves the player and by this idea that first customer or possibly child who put the game in and turned it on as thousands of others followed suit would be greeted by the pokemon professor who then introduced them and in time us into the world of Pokemon and the pokemon he introduced us to was a Nidorino.
So that's another possible interpretation.

The Pokémon egg was first since gamefreak created it in an old Yoshi game from 1992. That egg entered the Pokémon universe, changed, and Arceus was born of it.

I have the feeling Arceus was the first... but was not the first Pokemon, this was Mew... since he also brought into life humans and humans gave the creatures the name Pokemon... as such... Mew is the first.
If human don't discover mt. Everest is the tallest mountain, what mountain is the tallest? It is still Everest, human don't discover it, did not mean it not exist. If human don't name pokemon, that pokemon still exist, just unknown to human.
arceus = brahman
@@recentmap7268 but is a god even a Pokemon to begin with? Is pure infinity energy a pocket monster? Can you catch it? Can you battle it? Can you fit it into your pocket?
The answer, is no. Therefore it's likely that Arceus didn't become a "Pokémon" until he created his more familiar avatar in the events of Legends Arceus.
PS, also just fyi Everest isn't the tallest mountain it's the highest mountain.
@@ParadiseDB7 yeah you can say english is not my first language. but if god is not pokemon, there this mean dialga, palkia, giratina is not god, i mean you can catch them.
“First, there was light” maybe necrozma was first
IMO it should be Arceus as he is known as the "Alpha Pokemon".
I get why ppl think Mew could be the first pokemon since scientist speculated Mew could possibly be the ancestor of all pokemon. The issue here is....there no solid evidence Mew existed before the universe. Since after Arceus came to be, he created the creation trio and they started pokemon time and space. Mew could just have a unique genetic code where his DNA has all the genetic makeup of every pokemon past, present and future....but it's species might not been created until very long into the future (let's say prehistoric time). Also note, according to scientist, Mew is only known as the ancestor due to its ability to learn all the moves....and there no 100% confirmation either.

“What was the first Pokémon” perhaps
Arceus- Pokémon God. Created existence.
Rhydon- First Pokémon designed.
Mew- Ancient Pokémon in Kanto.
Bulbasaur- First in the National Dex.
That’s cool and all, but Rowlet is 001 in Legends Arceus, where you make the first full Pokédex, so does that mean Rowlet is the first?
In lore, Arceus comes first, creates Mew and a few other legendaries as the building blocks of the universe, and then comes everything else. Oak has that original dex, so that makes Bulbasaur the first pokemon in official national registration. And finally, Rhydon is *our* first pokemon because of its conception
did you realise that palkia and dialgas origin forms look like horses, maybe thts a reference to the four horsemen

"Pokemon" were originally called magical creatures, only getting renamed once the pokeball was created.
So technically the first pokemon was the first magical creature to be stored in a pokeball...
What if there is a sixth herba mystica type in paldea. The sandwich your mom gives you probably had some HM in it. Also, the cave that koraidon/miraidon escorts us through in the tutorial is covered in glowing herbs like all the other titan caves. It should also be noted that this cave is also right next to your house so its not too farfetched for the mom to get some.
Poppin up from the bottom of the screen was a ballin intro lol
Theory: Mew was Arceus' egg given life. Which means Arceus would be the first Pokemon lorewise, Rhydon out-of-universe. Bulbasaur was never in the running.

It's interesting to know that Mew was the first copyrighted pokémon. If I remember correctly, Mew wasn't even supposed to be in Red & Green but one of the developers secretly created Mew (including its sprite art and cry) and put it in the code as a last-minute addition post-debugging without adding any legitimate way of obtaining it (outside of glitches). Back when Red & Green were the only Pokémon games, there was a period of time when even people from Nintendo didn't know that there was a 151st pokémon. Could you even consider Mew a pokémon at that moment? Or was Mew supposed to be just a fun programming easter egg not meant to be seen through normal gameplay?
And despite how Mew seemed like it wasn't even meant to exist in the game, it still managed to be the very first pokémon to be copyrighted.

Pokémon and Futurama-two of my favorite things-talked about together in one video!
If guzlord is truely an alternate verzion of zyguard, and teropagos is potentially zyguards "brother" that implies an alternative version to our favorite new disc turtle. Theories are fun
You also have to ask yourself the philosophical question... what IS a Pokémon.
Is Arceus in his pure divine god form even a **Pokemon** to begin with or is it something else entirely? Is pure infinity energy a pocket monster? Can you catch it? Can you battle it? Can you fit it into your pocket?
The answer, is no. Therefore it's likely that Arceus didn't become a "Pokémon" until he created his more familiar avatar in the events of Legends Arceus and therefore can NOT be the first Pokémon. It's likely the same for Dialga, Palkia and Giratina, so then what is the first creature in existence that we could reasonably call a Pokémon?
I think the answer is likely Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie. We have no hints at them having any sort of other divine form, so it's likely they have always been "Pokémon". However, it's also just as possible because of the resemblance you mentioned maybe THEY came from Mew and not the other way around. Mew could have been the first Pokémon and then Arceus created the Lake trio from Mew's DNA to give the world knowledge. If Mew is the Pokémon Adam, then the Lake trio are the Pokémon Eve.

They are all first, but in different contexts.
Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the Pokédex, Mew is the ancestor of almost all Pokémon, Arceus create the world of Pokémon (at least according to myth), and Rhydon is the actual first Pokémon Game Freak made official.

The rabbit hole this video went too was incredible
May not be that theorizable, but one thing that came to mind while watching this video was "What is the difference between humans and pokémon?" Humans can touch pokéballs that are "emtpy/unnasigned" (no pokémon it belongs to) just fine without being caugth in it. But pokémon will. Humans can become pokémon (like bill that turned himself into a clefairy I guess), but also Phantump, yamask, froslass, (spiritomb?), drifloon, drifblim, gengar) and those will be caugth in balls. Or a doll or object can become a person. so are human souls whatever those are, pokémon and is our body not pokémon?
Was the Litwick line really the first Ghost & Fire typed Pokémon line?
Gen 1/2 is it’s own universe without arceus
Gen 3-9 is a universe with arceus which encompasses fire red, heart gold, ruby, bdsp is just a remaster so it’s the same as the d/p section
Let’s go is also it’s own universe

My first fakemon which I call combanimals which I created like nearly 10 years ago is called triceraleaf
Well, that depends on how you ask the question... the question normally is asked "which is the First Pokemon", in that case, the answer is definitely Bulbasaur, cuz it is the first Pokemon in the Pokedex, sure, you mentioned that Bulbasaur is the first in the Kanto Pokedex while Chikorita is the first in Johto Pokedex and Rowlet is the first in the Hisuian Pokedex (which is assumed to be the first Pokedex), however, you missed a small but crucial detail, the National Pokedex, in that Pokedex, Bulbasaur is the first, no Chikorita, no Rowlet, Bulbasaur is the first in two different Pokedexs (although Rowlet would be too) but also the most complete Pokedex, not bound to a single region and the only one that is constantly updated with every Pokemon released.
Although, if the you ask the question as "which was the First Pokemon" then Bulbasaur is out of the question, then you can ask which part to go with (Biological, Lore or IRL).

this is interesting, there are several perspectives on "who is the first Pokémon", and I’m agree with you that recorded Pokémon like the Pokédex entry should not be counted since, as you said, even fossils like Aronith are predated long before Bulbasaur was even registered
Rhydon was actually not the first Pokémon, as Rhydon was literally existed during the development of Capumon (Capsule Monsters), the prototype of Pokémon that existed today
so yeah, interesting, I was about to say Arceus, but your opinion about Unown and the development perspective was on point too

The egg before the universe could have represented the singularly itself and the egg hatching the big bang?
I mean in Pokemon Arceus and the Jewel of Life. Pokemon weren't called Pokemon but Mythical Creatures. So what was the first Pokemon could be the idea of what was referred to as the first Pokemon . The idea that the "egg" that started it all is interesting because usually in games you hear the daycare people saying "we don't know how it got there" it being the egg so maybe the unknown thing of not knowing how it got there relates to never truly understanding the egg in Pokemon that started it all
Interesting how the Easter egg pokemon mew was listed first in the copyright. No one should've even been able to find mew in gen1 had it not been for the spaghetti code
My headcanon is that Arceus is the god of all Pokemon(God's Pokemon lol), and as the god, his first creation was Mew, since Mew is the progenitor of all Pokemon via DNA records. From there, the primary Legendary beings like the Creation Trio, then the Lake Trio, then the Weather Trio, and from there everything else was made.
Arceus: the first pokemon, the god that created the universe(and possibly the Multiverse), nothing could have existed without him
Bulbasaur: the first in the pokedex
Rhydon: the first pokemon to be designed by the creators
Mew:.....The first pokemon on Earth? Still questionable if he could exist before the weather trio.
The biggest question are the Unown.
My theory has been that celebi's time travels continually add more species into the pokemon world's past and that the egg Arceus came from only exists because Arceus created the egg in the future and celebi took the egg to before time so it could hatch into arceus
I don't see guzzlord as a god, but as a bringer of devastation.
This whole started giving me some Simon Whistler vibes about half way in haha

What make alternate universe different is the history.

What do you mean a different universe is a repeat when it's a parallel dimension and of one that is still happing, what would make sense is a different universe can be a duplicate.
You're a little off on the Futurama episode. Fry didn't wanna get in the time machine and was upset that he would be the minute late that the machine would've made him. He was already gonna be on time.

there might be some argument for charizard AND venusaur for being the first pokemon to DEBUT. theyre the first two mon that are in the gameboy box art. aka the first pokemon people would see ever AS pokemon. no clue what the first pokemon in a advertisement could be. or if there was advertisements that predate pokemon games launching
Well Time is relative and is most likely a Human construct here in the Real World. Therefore in the Poke-Universes that is likely still the same. So when referring to "Before Time" that just means before recorded information/time. So rather the beings that are mentioned as "Ruling/Creating Time" simply can manipulate or influence or travel through Time.

Mew is told to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but is that so? It's quite accepted that the legendary Pokémon aren't descendant of Mew, neither the Ultra beast. What about fossil Pokémon? It must be if Archeops is ancestor of all bird Pokémon. However, if we apply real life evolution to Pokémon, the idea that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon is kind of farfetch. After all, there are a couple of "rules" animals need to follow to be considered related.
Maybe the real first pokemon was the friends we made along the way.

It was Mew, the ancestor of every pokémon,mew teleported through time to get to the present and created all the pokémon,so it's Mew.
This video give me an existential crisis. Thank you. I love it.
the theory you bring up is the "Big Crunch" theory, like how as opposed to the Big Bang being the beginning of a universe, which is widely accepted, the Big Crunch would be the end of it, basically because gravity would eventually bring everything together into a single point, and then eventually Big Banging again..
i don't know too much about the details, but i do know that for whatever reason, there's not much faith in this theory in the world of astrophysicists :'D
Never thought I'd hear professor Toby say Epic of Gilgamesh

Obviously it’s the legendary rhydon.……………… this was posted during an add before the video……
Start of video: What Pokémon was first?
By end of video: What even is a Pokémon?
IMO, Unown was the first Pokémon. It says Arceus came from an egg and we see Arceus create the an egg using the Unown. Maybe Unown existed before Arceus and created him
Remember he was number 1… We don’t know who’s the 1…

If you’re defining a pokemon as a “pocket monster”, which in the games I believe they define as anything that can be caught in a pokeball since in order to be caught it needs to be able to shrink which is an inherent trait of all pokemon, then I actually don’t think it’s arceus. Arceus likely didn’t create a pokemon form for itself until it needed one to appear before humans. So in that case, the first would be whichever pokemon arceus created first: dialga, palkia, giratina.
Alternatively, I think the unown are an interesting candidate. Do they exist in the universe simply as code without being created or destroyed, or did arceus create them as a way to code things itself? I think any of dialga, palkia, giratina, or unown are all possibilities

Your point on snakes is backed up by many faiths, the Druids and the Vikings for example, saw them as something to be both feared and revered as a symbol of nature as a force (a point most significant by the Druids of Ireland, who, despite snakes not being present on the island at all, still had them as a symbol of their faith). Representatives of the church being depicted as snake banishers and dragon slayers is more about the stripping of that faith (which might also be why we today, do not respect the environment as much as we once did, all those centuries ago).

Copyright is established the moment an item is created. You don't have to legally declare it. It just helps defending your copyright if you do so. At least that's how it works in the US. Confirm that for Japan then you'll have your answer for that.
Actually, victini is the first since its 000 in the unova dex, and as we all know. 0 is less than 1
Cool video
it all comes down to what you take as "first" "first made", "first in pokedex" "first in lore"

I see what you did there Mr. VSauce😉 4:35
Have you thought of celebi it can travel through time said to come from the future by people but that's a theory so it could have existed before all other pokemon (plot line for pokemon legends celebi)
Dialga might have created celebi
since the video ended about sankes... the first Pokémon was Rayquaza? XD
My HEAD hurts.😵
Pokemon by definition are strange creatures with powers that live in the multiverse of the pokemon franchise, therefore the first pokemon would be the first powered creature from the pokemon franchise ever made
So the answer is.....
Digglet
Digglet was a character tajiri creator of Pokemon himself made in his childhood long before pokemon or even capumon was ever thought of and yet it still made it into the franchise so digglet is by definition a Pokemon that predates every other pokemon

arceus is the first pokemon in lore the first pokemon ever designed is rhydon the first pokemon in the dex is bulbasaur the first pokemon in the hisui dex is rowlet victini is dex number 000 so techinally every one of those pokemon i named are the first in their own way but that arceus was the one to shape the world so first in lore
