Ken Sugmori. The guy who made Pokemon. He designed all of the pokemon except that icecream one in Black and White.
Many people would answer Bulbasaur, since it's the first Pokemon in the Pokedex, or Pikachu, because the cute, yellow mouse Pokemon is the mascot of the franchise. However, this would answer this question wrongly. Rhydon was designed and drawn first by Ken Sugimori and its data can be found first in original Pokemon Red and Green.
Go to White Forest when Ken is the resident, if he is, use Entralink to go to Black City from Pokemon Black and you'll receive Nidoran.
Only Ken Sugimori knows that, but we can guess. Since Bulbasaur is the first Pokemon in the National Pokedex, it's most likely him. In fact, Pikachu wasn't originally intended to be Pokemon's mascot at all, it just came to be through the media.
If you mean about the legend of who was born first, it was Arceus, and then Palkia and Dialga to control space and time. This was according to the Sinnoh legend on how the world and Pokemon began. As for designing, Rhydon was the first to be designed by Ken Sugimori. This explains why Rhydon's data can be found first in the original Pokemon Red and Green, despite its high Pokedex number. Lapras and Clefairy were also one of the first to be designed as well.
