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.

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]

Gengar, and its predecessors, are considered to be rivals of the Abra evolution line. During the early life of generation 1, 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]

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 criticized 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]
