I know this does really seem to be a stupid question but at the beginning of the very first season Gary already has his Pokemon because ash or anyone sees it just wondering since i havn't see it in what 6-7 yrs or since it first came out and such and havn't seen alot of the shows yet just wondering what was his beginning pokemon?
 
He used Blastoise against Ash during the Johto league, so it's assumed he picked Squirtle.
 
Yea

Misty: Brock? Could that be...?
Brock: ....the same Squirtle that Gary originally received from Professor Oak? Yea, that's the one.
Oak: Looks like Gary is anxious to finish this up, Blastoise is the most powerful Pokemon Gary has.
 
Of course, there's also the huge theory over where he got Eevee from, as in Pokémon Yellow, the rival has one and whatnot. :p Maybe Prof. Oak gave him two.
 
That's possible. Oak likes his Grandson...or at least Gary got it from Oak later on.

Also, the show has been out for over ten years.
 
No Eevee wasn't the first. He probably found it at the top of the building through the back door at I want to say Celedon? Haha

But what I said is EXACTLY what they say in that episode, so yeah.
 
Wasn't there a flashback to when Gary caught Eevee at some point? Just because the Yellow rival recieved an Eevee from Oak doesn't mean Gary did.

No. Eevee only appeared in The Rivalry Revival and the third English intro (I believe OK! was the Japanese equivalent). There were no flashbacks to Gary capturing it.

Also, Eevee was not Gary's first Pokemon, despite what many people think. We know four trainers stared from Pallet; Ash obviously ended up with Pikachu, and Gary is confirmed to have received Squirtle. The other two, by process of elimination, received Charmander and Bulbasaur.
 
Yeah, it couldn't be Eevee as his starter although it was nice of the writers to tie him into Yellow for what it was worth.

Both Ash and Gary wanted Squirtle. How ironic. :p

Well Ash got his own Squirtle soon after anyway. :p

Yeah, I remember people speculating that Ash would get Eevee in Johto and have it become an Espeon to parallel Gary's Umbreon. Too bad that never happened.

Although I do find it funny that May got both a Squirtle and Eevee as well in Battle Frontier. Too bad Eevee wasn't around long enough to see it amount to anything, which is a real shame.
 
I got another query: do you think Damian was also one of those starting trainers in the same group as Ash and Gary? I mean, it certainly could be; the approximate 2-3 months Ash was out would've been long enough for Damian to get all those Pokemon, yet short enough to have given up on Charmander when he did, and would explain how the Charmander trainer ultimately didn't make the cut as Prof. Oak said. What do ya think?

That sounds quite plausible. What about Bulbasaur? Perhaps the one Ash found was the very same one that Professor Oak gave away?

No, don't think so; that Bulbasaur had apparently been protecting the village for quite some time, lkely a lot long than 2-3 months.
 
Damian probably doesn't even remember him. Oddly enough, he kinda reminds me of Paul now.
 
I doubt that Damian's Charmander was the one from Pallet, as Ash would know who Damian was (or at least vaguely recognise him) if they lived in the same town. Or do trainers from other towns travel to Pallet to get their starters? I can't remember.

Oh, and Damian (or one of his friends) mentioned in that episode that he actually captured the Charmander, which means it was wild before Damian owned it.
 
I swear I remember an episode with Charizard seeing Damian and shooting fire at him...

Or am I just going crazy?

I watched first Johto ep @ monday, when Ash mentioned Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle, Elm assumed he must be from Pallet. So i think you got an answer.
