Fire the Charmander. Technacly JJ's first pokemon but John can hold him too. was eight when the orignal pokemon red and blue came out. I had blue and my sister had red. My first pokemon was a charmander named Fire! he was trancfered over to Silver when i got that game. My silver game crashed when i caught the pokevirus and i thought it was a bug that crashed your game. The new Fire that is my first lvl 100 pokemon started on Fire Red. (he is lost right now cuz i seriously dont know where some of my 3ds games when, they dissapeared during one of the moves. hope to find it before the new pokemon games come out)
