The first generation of Pokémon games dealt with genetics and engineering. The three starters, {{p|Bulbasaur}} (frog), {{p|Charmander}} (lizard), and {{p|Squirtle}} (turtle), are all reptilian in nature, and take some elements from the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are reptiles, and were one of the most successful groups of animals to exist. Other Pokémon in the generation continue this theme. {{p|Eevee}} is capable of evolving into multiple forms due to its unstable DNA; {{p|Voltorb}} is the result of a Poké Ball experiment gone awry; {{p|Porygon}} is a virtual reality Pokémon. These games also introduce three Fossils which can be resurrected into prehistoric Pokémon: {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}. Finally, out of the four legendaries that appeared, the most powerful was man-made through genetic engineering: {{p|Mewtwo}}. The uncatchable [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Mew}}, also has the DNA of every Pokémon in existence. | The first generation of Pokémon games dealt with genetics and engineering.
