The first generation (Generation I) of the Pokémon franchise features the original 151 fictional species of creatures introduced to the core video game series in the 1996 Game Boy games Pokémon Red and Blue.
The following list details the 151 Pokémon of Generation I in order of their National Pokédex number. The first Pokémon, Bulbasaur, is number 001 and the last, Mew, is number 151. Alternate forms that result in type changes are included for convenience. Mega evolutions and regional forms are included on the pages for the generation in which they were introduced. MissingNo. is also on this list.
Design and development[]
The majority of first-generation Pokémon had relatively simple designs highly analogous to real-life creatures – including but not limited to: Pidgey (a pigeon), Krabby (a crab), Rattata (a rat), Ekans (a snake), and Seel (a seal). Many Pokémon in the original games served as the base for repeating concepts later in the series.[1]

Caterpie | Caterpie (キャタピー) | 10 | Bug | Beginning of evolution | Metapod (#011) | To avoid predators, it releases an odour that makes bird Pokémon think twice about going after it. It is considered to be an alternative to Weedle. Appearance is based on the Easter Tiger Swallowtail. | |
Metapod | Toranseru (トランセル) | 11 | Bug | Caterpie (#010) | Butterfree (#012) | The outer shell of Metapod is extremely hard, but the insides are very soft due to the changes that it is undergoing.

Pidgeotto is seen several times throughout the series in various sizes, suggesting that they tend to grow large before evolving into Pidgeot. |
Pidgeot | Pijotto (ピジョット) | 18 | Normal | Flying | Pidgeotto (#017) | Mega Evolution | A lot of trainers choose Pidgeot as their Pokémon due to their striking, beautiful feathers. Pidgeots tend to be very large in size. |
Rattata | Koratta (コラッタ) | 19 | Normal | Beginning of evolution | Raticate (#020) | It is criticised as a "filthy rodent" by GamesRadar and "rubbish" by the Official Nintendo Magazine.[19][20] Its teeth grow very long overtime, so it has to gnaw on logs, houses, telephone poles, and more, so it can be quite a pest at times. Rattata has an Alolan form that is a Dark/Normal type. | |
Raticate | Ratta (ラッタ) | 20 | Normal | Rattata (#019) | End of evolution | Raticate is a rodent that commands groups of Rattatas to get them food.

Spearow | Onisuzume (オニスズメ) | 21 | Normal | Flying | Beginning of evolution | Fearow (#022) | It Eats bugs in grassy areas and has to flap its short wings at high-speed to stay airborne. Spearows are said to have short temperaments, and tend to swarm perceived enemies in large flocks. It is an alternative version of Pidgey and sometimes considered a rival to it. Ash Ketchum attempted to catch a Spearow without the help of his Pikachu, leading to a rather disastrous start of his journey. |
Fearow | Onidoriru (オニドリル) | 22 | Normal | Flying | Spearow (#021) | End of evolution | Its English name is a portmanteau of "fear" and "sparrow". Fearow are large birds that can fly at extremely high altitudes for long periods of time. |
Ekans | Ābo (アーボ) | 23 | Poison | Beginning of evolution | Arbok (#024) | Its English name is "snake" spelled backwards. Ekans likes to coil itself, because if it gets attacked while sleeping, it is all ready to strike at them. Ekans was one of Team Rocket member Jessie's starter Pokémon. | |
Arbok | Arbok (アーボック) | 24 | Poison | Ekans (#023) | End of evolution | It belonged to Jessie, a member of Team Rocket, for the Kanto, Johto, and a small portion of the Advanced Generation series of the Pokémon anime. The pattern on its chest is different everywhere. It is hard to escape from its coil, because its muscles are so strong, it can crush a steel drum by constricting it. Even though its name is Arbok, what it pronounces is "Char-bok". Its name backwards is kobra, which is pronounced the same as cobra. In the beta for Red and Blue, its name was "Nagaasp". | |

Raichu | Raichu (ライチュウ) | 26 | Electric | Pikachu (#025) | End of evolution | Raichu has an Alolan form that is an Electric/Psychic type. It was originally intended to have an evolution named Gorochu, but it was scrapped due to balance issues. Raichu was a centerpoint of a conflict during the anime for Ash Ketchum, who fought against Lt.

Nidorina | Nidorina (ニドリーナ) | 30 | Poison | Nidoran♀ (#029) | Nidoqueen (#031) | When it is with its friends and family, it doesn't have its toxic horn out. As soon as danger appears, it is ready to fight. | |

Wigglytuff | Pukurin (プクリン) | 40 | Normal | Fairy[nb 2] | Jigglypuff (#039) | End of evolution | It doesn't care if its large eyes get dust or dirt in them due to its eyes being covered in a thin layer of fluid. It tends to be more short-tempered and more aggressive than Jigglypuff. |
Zubat | Zubat (ズバット) | 41 | Poison | Flying | Beginning of evolution | Golbat (#042) | It uses echolocation, because it has no eyes. Zubats are part of a popular meme within the franchise that usually involves Albert Einstein's mentions of infinite things, one being the number of Zubats in Dark Cave. This is a reference to Zubats being the most commonly encountered Pokémon in almost every cave or underground area. |
Golbat | Golbat (ゴルバット) | 42 | Poison | Flying | Zubat (#041) | Crobat (#169) | Golbat loves to drink blood, however it sometimes drinks so much that it cannot fly. Unlike Zubat, Golbat have eyes and (visible) feet. |

Gloom | Kusaihana (クサイハナ) | 44 | Grass | Poison | Oddish (#043) | Vileplume (#045) Bellossom (#182) |
If it senses danger around it, it produces a horrific stench from the leaves on its head. If there isn't, it is fine, so the stench goes away.

Vileplume | Rafureshia (ラフレシア) | 45 | Grass | Poison | Gloom (#044) | End of evolution | Tour-guides always say not to go up to any flower in the jungle, no matter how beautiful is because of a reason that it might just be a Vileplume which can spread toxic spores that will leave you sick for days. Vileplume is based on the rafflesia, the world's smelliest flower. Vileplumes are only obtainable by using the Leaf Stone. |
Paras | Paras (パラス) | 46 | Bug | Grass | Beginning of evolution | Parasect (#047) | Paras is a Bug-type Pokémon that is the host to a parasitic mushroom. As it ages, the mushroom begins to completely take over its body, evolving it into Parasect. Most of the nutrients Paras gets from feeding on plant roots are absorbed instead by the mushrooms. These mushrooms can be removed and used for medicines. More will grow on Paras' back later on. |
Parasect | Parasect (パラセクト) | 47 | Bug | Grass | Paras (#046) | End of evolution | Parasects are the endpoint of a Paras' life stage, where the mushroom has fully engulfed its body. It requires more energy from trees due to its larger size. It was originally called "Fungus" in early development. |

Kadabra | Yungerā (ユンゲラー) | 64 | Psychic | Abra (#063) | Alakazam (#065) | Kadabra has been the source of various controversies. The symbols on its body have been associated to those used by Nazi Germany's Waffen-SS. Furthermore, in November 2000, Israeli magician Uri Gellar sued Nintendo, claiming Kadabra embodies an unauthorized appropriation of his identity.[29][30][31] However, in 2020, he releases a claim that Nintendo can use Kadabra again. | |
Alakazam | Fūdin (フーディン) | 65 | Psychic | Kadabra (#064) | Mega Evolution | Due to its brain being too heavy in its head, it actually uses its psychic power to hold its head up. Its 5000 IQ makes it a very intelligent Pokémon. It can affect nearby technology using its brainwaves. Kadabra and Alakazam were the direct counters to the Gastly line of Ghost-type Pokémon after they were turned into dual types with Poison-type. Throughout the series, the Abra and Gastly lines were considered rivals. | |

It appears as a large rock that has two large arms and two small arms. This appearance suggests that the smaller arms are the old Geodude arms and the new ones emerged as it grew larger. |
Golem | Gorōnya (ゴローニャ) | 76 | Rock | Ground | Graveler (#075) | End of evolution | Golem is known for rolling down from mountains. To prevent them from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves have been dug into the sides of mountains to serve as guideways for diverting this Pokémon's course.

Gengar | Gengar (ゲンガー) | 94 | Ghost | Poison | Haunter (#093) | Mega Evolution Gigantamax |
Owing to its simplistic yet appealing design, Gengar is Ken Sugimori's favorite Pokémon as of the release of X and Y. Gengar (and its predecessors) are considered to be rivals of the Abra evolution line. During the early life of generation I, Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar did not have the Poison type attribute, and was considered overpowered versus most Pokémon. To remedy this, the Poison part of its dual-type was added, thus making it the rival of Abra as Ghost beats Psychic and Psychic beats Poison. Gengar itself appears as a shadow with a face, legs, arms, and several spikes. Its appearance is strikingly similar to Clefable, making some fans believe that Gengars live in Clefable's shadow.[36] Others associate it with ded Clefables.[37] Fans also reacted positively when Ash Ketchum caught a Gengar in the anime.[38] Gengar has became one of the most iconic Ghost type Pokémon of the franchise.[39][40] Official Nintendo Magazine named Gengar one of the ten best Pokémon in the game as of 2010, stating that people "either love Gengar or hate it."[41] In a later reader-based poll, it placed ninth as one of the best ghost characters in a Nintendo game, which the magazine attributed to its design.[42] ONM also included it in its list of cool non-legendary Pokémon. Editor Thomas East noted it as a "cult favourite" of the ONM staff.[43] IGN called Gengar the best Ghost type Pokémon in Red and Blue, and also praised its appearance, citing a resemblance to Nekobus from My Neighbor Totoro.[44] Patricia Hernandez named Gengar her favourite from Pokémon Red and Blue.[45] IGN readers named it the 17th best Pokémon. Former IGN editor Audrey Drake called it a "pimp".[46] Game Informer called it the 32nd best Pokémon.[47] Game Revolution also included it in its list of the best Pokémon at 15.[48] Patricia Hernandez criticised its Mega form, despite her admiration for Gengar. She felt that it didn't get better, just weirder. She also felt that its rarer alternate colour was worse-looking than its normal form.[49] Its Mega form was ranked third in a poll of Japanese readers by Famitsu among other Mega forms.[50] Joshua Yehi of IGN included Gengar on 10 Pokémon we want in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.[51] |
Onix | Iwāku (イワーク) | 95 | Rock | Ground | Beginning of evolution | Steelix (#208) | Though its design has been praised, critics deem Onix underpowered compared to other Rock types of its generation.

It evolves into Steelix when traded while holding a Metal Coat.[1][52][53][54] |
Drowzee | Surīpu (スリープ) | 96 | Psychic | Beginning of evolution | Hypno (#097) | Drowzee's design is based on the dream-eating tapir, Baku.

In later generations, it is given the Insomnia trait, making it immune to Sleep status inflicting moves. | |
Hypno | Surīpā (スリーパー) | 97 | Psychic | Drowzee (#096) | End of evolution | Hypno's design is based on the dream-eating tapir, Baku and a hypnotist.

This has led to Hypno becoming the subject of creepypastas. Hypno is purely yellow with a white fluffy collar mane. | |
Krabby | Kurabu (クラブ) | 98 | Water | Beginning of evolution | Kingler (#099) | As its name states, it is a crab Pokémon that is half white/tan and half orange. In the anime, it doesn't speak its name like other Pokémon. It instead makes a unique noise. | |
