My first pokemon card was a first edition holographic Rattata that was slipped under my door when I was six by my 8 year old neighbor.

Mine was a http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pikachu_(Wizards_Promo_27). I found it insided a Boy Scouts handbook that I was reading cause I was bored. Apparently, the original owners'(the people in the organization that gave my father the handbooks) son loved Pokemon and accidentally left the card in it or was using it as a bookmark and forgot it. Unfortunately, the original got lost or was in such bad condition that it had to be thrown out. Thankfully, I got a copy online.

My first Pokemon card was found at a local park back in 2006. I was playing catch with my mother when suddenly we found a strange card It was a http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sudowoodo_(Neo_Genesis_77) from the http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Neo_Genesis_(TCG) set from 2000. Back then, I had no idea what it was, but I kept it anyways. It's still in my Card Binder to this day.

My first pokemon card was the Mewtwo card that came with the VHS of Pokemon the First Movie. I still have it in one of my moving boxes somewhere. It's one of the only ones I managed to keep after I gave up on the card game years ago.

My first Pokemon card was a Sandshrew card that I found in a box in my counselor's office in 6th grade, I asked her if I could have it and she said that I could so I took it home. I didn't know much about Pokemon at the time but I thought the little guy was cute. To this day I still have the card and Sandshrew and Sandslash are a couple of my favorite Pokemon.

Can't remember my first exactly, but I know that one of the first ones I ever owned was this Persian. https://static-6.studiobebop.net/pokemon_data/card_images/Persian__56_130__Base_Set_2.jpg

I'm not sure what my very first card was, but I do remember getting both Staryu and Starmie in my first card pack and being pretty excited about it.
