well its hard to tell. i remember years ago, when pokemon first came on the air, i watched the very first episode, i was just channel surfing when i saw it, i liked it so i kept watching it. if that wasn't the first time it might been rather i bought the game, or at my cousins wedding i was given a pack of pokemon cards for being the ring barrier. i was like 7 or 8. it was a little while til i realised they were all connected. you?
