The first starter I ever picked was charamander, way back in red. When he evoled the first time I thought eh he's pretty cool, little did I know what level 36 had in store for me. 36 finally was here....evolution was going on...screen flashing...heart racing at this point...then I lay eyes on my first Charizard...."Oh my sweet baby lanta, it's a dragon" I thought to my self. To my disappointment fire flying. Then...6 gens later he Finally got his day in the sun. Dragon flying...Sadly mega Y was just to good lol. Charizard was the first 3rd stage evolution I seen and by far still my favorite....even if it is Y that ends up being the greater of the two Lol.
