The previous answer was incorrect, Gengar wasn't the first created, and neither was the first Pokemon that was shown in the TV show. In the English dubbed versions, at least, Mewtwo was the first Pokemon ever shown. It was one of the first Pokemon shown in the games, though, alongside Nidorino... But as for the first Kanto Pokemon created, which in turn would be the first Pokemon ever created... According to Ken Sugimori, who created and designed the first 250 Pokemon, the first Pokemon that they ever created was actually Rhydon. Not Gengar, not Bulbasaur, not Pikachu... But Rhydon. I know, go figure? Right?
Pokemon was created in 1995, while Bakugan was created in 2007. Pokemon was created before Bakugan.
Arceus was the Pokemon who created the world and the first Pokemon in it Mew therefore Arceus came first but still leaving Mew the first Pokemon.
No occurding to Game Freak the creators of the game Rhydon was the first created pokemon however it is not the first pokemon on the list interestingly.
rhydon;No RHYDON Is not the first Pokemon Created RHYDON has the Internal Species Code 1, that's true but im pretty sure ths question means the first Pokemon to exist and the first one was MEW, with the internal species code 21.
