When you first open Pokemon Go you will have to choose your starter Pokemon. Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur. They will appear on your screen and you need to click on the one you want. There is also a secret that many people don't know about, if you move around a little more you will be able to find Pikachu and catch him as your starter Pokemon. Although, the Pokemon you choose doesn't matter that much because they all have very low cp and you will get better Pokemon very quickly.
If you want to catch your first Pokemon quickly and don't want to leave your house, you can activate one of your incense so that Pokemon come to you. Incense last for thirty minutes and have two of them when you start the game. You can purchase more from the shop with poke coins.
