The Kanto first partner Pokémon in Pokémon Journeys: The Series

The Kanto first partner Pokémon^[1]^[2] are the trio of Pokémon—Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle—chosen by Trainers at the start of their journey in Kanto. These are traditionally given out by Professor Oak and are to be used to battle the first wild Pokémon that the Trainer encounters.

In Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the player can choose a Fire-, Water-, or Grass-type first partner Pokémon at level 5.

For information about the partner Pikachu and Eevee in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, see Partner Pokémon (game).

In the spin-off games

Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, all three Kanto first partner Pokémon can be caught and encountered along with their Evolutions. When the player first starts the game, they have the option to choose either Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle as their first capture.

Pokémon Trading Card Game

In the Pokémon Trading Card Game video game, each of the three starter decks is based on one of the Kanto first partner Pokémon. They are listed in this order: Charmander & Friends Deck, Squirtle & Friends Deck, and Bulbasaur & Friends Deck. Each deck includes the three evolutionary stages of the respective first partner Pokémon.

Pokémon Masters EX

In Pokémon Masters EX, the player character chooses an Egg that hatches into one of the Kanto first partner Pokémon in the Egg Pokémon tutorial, which they form a sync pair with. After this, the player can form more sync pairs with the Kanto first partner Pokémon by recieving Eggs from Professor Bellis, which may hatch into one of the Kanto first partner Pokémon.

Several other characters form sync pairs with the Kanto first partner Pokémon or their evolutions. Professor Sycamore & Bulbasaur can be obtained through the Trainer Lodge, while the others can be obtained through various sync pair scouts.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the Kanto first partner Pokémon can be selected as the hero and their partner, with the only exceptions being Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity and the three Japan-exclusive WiiWare games. The trio's evolved forms can also be recruited in the games out of the main character roles.

Pokémon Rumble series

In the Pokémon Rumble series, all three Kanto first partner Pokémon can be caught and encountered along with their Evolutions.

Pokémon Shuffle

In Pokémon Shuffle, all three Kanto first partner Pokémon can be caught and encountered along with their Evolutions.

Pokémon Sleep

In Pokémon Sleep, the three Kanto first partner Pokémon can be obtained by filling their Friendship Points after a sleep session.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, the three Kanto first partner Pokémon are playable.

Venusaur

Charizard

Blastoise

Super Smash Bros. series

Pokémon Trainer and his Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Pokémon Trainer has a team of different evolutionary stages of Kanto first partner Pokémon: Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard.

In the anime

The Kanto first partner Pokémon in Pokémon Evolutions

Pokémon the Series

Over the course of Pokémon the Series, Professor Oak has given away three of the Kanto first partner Pokémon, two of which were to new Trainers. Gary Oak and May both received a Squirtle, and Gilbert began his journey with a Bulbasaur. Despite not having known to handout a Charmander, Professor Oak has been shown with all three first partner Pokémon in his possession. Professor Oak has also given out a Pikachu to Ash when he was late to his pick up his first partner Pokémon and had missed out on receiving one of the usual three choices.

It is revealed in Pokémon the Series: XY that Professor Sycamore gave Shauna, Tierno and Trevor a Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander respectively, and in the Mega Evolution Specials that Alain was given a Charmander as well.

Pokémon Origins

In Pokémon Origins, Red's main Pokémon is his first partner, a Charmander he received from Professor Oak. It eventually evolves into Charizard and becomes able to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X through a Key Stone and Charizardite X Red received as a thank-you gift from Mr. Fuji.

I Choose You!

I Choose You!, a movie that started a separate continuity from the main Pokémon the Series continuity, focused on the developing friendship between Ash and the Pikachu he received from Professor Oak. In this continuity, Gary also started with a Squirtle, while the Oak's Bulbasaur and Charmander were revealed to have been picked by alternate versions of Marina and Tierno, respectively.

Pokémon Evolutions

In Pokémon Evolutions, although Professor Oak doesn't hand out any of the Kanto first partner Pokémon in this series, he is shown to have them in his possession.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

In Pokémon Adventures, Professor Oak is shown to give Pokémon to Trainers he thinks are especially talented, gifting Charmander to his grandson Blue and Bulbasaur to Red. Professor Oak also possessed a Squirtle that was stolen by Green.

Professor Sycamore is also shown to be in possession of the Kanto first partner Pokémon. While Squirtle and Bulbasaur remain under his care, he gave Charmander to X.

Pokémon Pocket Monsters

In Pokémon Pocket Monsters, Professor Oak is depicted distributing the choice of one out of three first partner Pokémon - Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle - to Pokémon Trainers as they begin their journeys, much like in other media. Green chooses Charmander as his first partner Pokémon, and while Red was offered the choice as well, he decided to keep a Clefairy that he met on his way to Professor Oak's lab as his first partner instead.

Pokémon Zensho

In Pokémon Zensho, much like in the Pokémon Red and Green games on which the manga was based, Professor Oak offers Satoshi and Shigeru their choice of one out of three first partner Pokémon - Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle. Satoshi chooses Charmander, while Shigeru chooses Squirtle, leaving Bulbasaur with Professor Oak.

Trivia

Retro Mail

The Kanto first partner Pokémon have several unique distinctions.
- They are the first trio of first partners to have received Mega Evolutions and Gigantamax forms.
- They can be obtained in the most games of all first partner Pokémon, as they have appeared in 20 core series games in Japan (19 internationally).
- They are the only first partner Pokémon where all of the members appear in more than one regional Pokédex: Kanto's, Johto's, Unova’s, and Kalos's.
  - The Charmander line also appears by itself in the Galar regional Pokédex, while the Bulbasaur and Squirtle lines appear in the Isle of Armor regional Pokédex.
- They are the only ones to have all been owned by both Ash and one of his friends at some point in their evolutionary lines: May owns a Venusaur and a Wartortle, while Kiawe owns a Charizard.
  - They are also the only full set of first partners that Ash has obtained where every member was owned by a previous Trainer.
In Generation III, the Kanto first partner Pokémon are featured in the background of the Retro Mail.
Prior to Pokémon Yellow, individually obtaining all Kanto first partner Pokémon and their evolutionary forms would require nine saved games of Pokémon Red or Blue (Japanese Red, Green, or Blue). This was the largest group of mutually exclusive Pokémon in the history of the core series games.

+[[File:Retro Mail.png|thumb|right|Retro Mail]]

 *** They are also the only full set of first partners that Ash has obtained where every member was owned by a previous {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
+* In [[Generation III]], the Kanto first partner Pokémon are featured in the background of the [[Retro Mail]].
+* Prior to {{game|Yellow}}, individually obtaining all Kanto first partner Pokémon and their evolutionary forms would require nine saved games of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red or Blue]] (Japanese [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Red, Green]], or [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]]). This was the largest group of [[List of mutually exclusive Pokémon|mutually exclusive Pokémon]] in the history of the [[core series]] games.
