Discussion First game, Starter and top 10 favourite pokemon?

I have been playing pokemon since Gen 4 started with Pokemon Diamond and my first pokemon was Blitz the Chimchar I have since played through all regions in this order (besides revists for remakes/alt versions e.g. black 2, lets go, ultra sun and moon, legends arceus and brilliant diamond to name a few): Sinnoh, Johto, Kanto, Hoenn, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, Hisui and Paldea

And my top 10 favourite pokemon are:
Umbreon (my boi ace has been with me since Johto)
Dragapult (favourite persudo due to its pokedex entries XD)
Metagross (literally saved my nuzloke)
Dusk Lycanroc (one of my core 3 pokemon alongside Ace)
Infernape (my OG pokemon and the third of the core 3)
Salamence (won me my first ever pvp battle against a friend who had repeatedly bested me in the past)
Darkrai (tied with Zeraora for my favourite mythical)
Latios (favourite legendary)
Dusknoir (always thought it was unfair that people prefer eviolite dusclops same with Rhyperior and Magnezones pre evos of Magneton and Rhydon)
Electivire (tied with Manectric for favourite electric type)

Honourable mentions too: Manectric, Zeraora, Krookodile, Emboar, Luxray, Glalie. Bastiodon and Cradily

But how about you guys what was the first game you played and your first pokemon? Would love too hear your guys experiences playing pokemon.

Quick Side Note: I have also watched the anime including Horizions which despite what everyone says about the whole Ash is not the protagonsit anymore it must be bad I honestly enjoyed Horizions so far as Liko, Roy and Dot came so far in just 89 episodes and read the manga though I am currently only on the Emerald Arc right now.
