    My first pokemon I believe was either Pokemon Stadium 2 or hey you pikachu! I might have gotten them at around the same times and I was so young so I don't remember well Dx
    But my first game from the main series was Pokemon Crystal. My old best friend in elementary school had decided to give it to me as a birthday present because he didnt play it much. I remember he only got as far as Goldenrod City. I restarted of course, to have my own experience with the game. Since then i've probably replayed it around 3 times through, each with different starters and teams. I have no idea where it is right now sadly, but ill still never forget that my friend gifted me such a great game :')

    Have to say Ruby. It was my first, and soon swapped to Sapphire because Kyogre. But I get good memories trying to fix that stupid dry battery and getting my Kadabra to level 100 hoping it will evolve.

  • First game was during my elementary days which is a LeafGreen which a friend loaned to me for a moment before asking for it back. That moment was how I got hooked on Pokemon.

  • Pokemon Stadium. Even though Pokemon Stadium 2 was already out by then, I got it to save money... in hindsight, should have convinced my parents to get PS2 considering it had everything PS had and more.

  • Blue was my first. Back when I was a wee pup I absolutely adored Pokémon, but I was a bit behind on the gaming systems so while people were getting their copies of Ruby and Sapphire, it hadn't been long since I'd just acquired Blue. Though, that's partially my fault.

    In a time before I got Blue, I saw Red in the store and wanted to try it out. I tried the game in my GameBoy Color and couldn't seem to figure out how to get out of the player's house, so I told my dad "No way, that's not Pokémon!" and we left. It was only when my mother's boyfriend at the time gave me Blue that I realized that the game I could've gotten was Pokémon. After that I got Yellow, and constantly had people asking me "Don't you mean Pokémon gold?" It was pretty annoying honestly. Eh.

  • Sapphire.
    I remember I didn't know there was a new generation, and when I saw starters I was literally blown away. I chose Torchic, and got disappointed when I saw Combusken, I guess I expected a Phoenix or something lol
    Either way, I loved it.

    My first game was Pokemon Silver.

    Although, me and my elder brothers had to share a copy of Pokemon Yellow, because they didn't understand the way the game worked.

  • I got Pokemon Blue Version as a surprise present along with a Blue Gameboy, koffi~

    I somewhat regret getting rid of it. Oh well, sometimes I need to get rid of old stuff. I guess I could have kept it, but I have too much stuff. I have a stack of Playstation 3 videogames that is taller than I am. I have several Nintendo DS games that probably do the same. I don't want to see about my Snes games. I don't have a large list of playstation games or playstation 2 games anymore. . . I had to trade in my advance games in order to get what I wanted, but I don't regret it. It was like releasing a long-term Pokemon friend. They helped me on my journey one last time before we had to say good-bye forever, koff~

  • Pokemon Yellow Version, my cousin gave it to me because I only had one game on my Gamboy at the time (Super Mario Land) which I finished several times. Then began my addiction to Pokemon games haha...

  • Ruby and Sapphire are my first Pokemon games. They were the games that got me into the gaming side of Pokemon.

    Pokemon Silver and Pokemon Gold. Got them both for my eighth birthday along with my Gameboy Color. Since the first one I put into the gameboy and started playing was Silver I guess that one would have to be my very first.

  • My very first is the Pokemon Yellow; Then Gold before I actually bought Red because I've always liked the Charizard picture on the Pokemon Red cartridge but I was too young to know that Red and Blue were released before Yellow. My dad was the one whom bought Yellow alongside my first Gameboy Colour.

    Pokemon Dash is technically the first Pokemon game I got, it came with a DS Lite I bought online. I never really played it that much though. Then I played Pokemon Ruby on an emulator, but something messed up in the emulator and my game never saved. So I finally got Pokemon Soul Silver this January, and that's the first real Pokemon game I ever got, I suppose.

  • My first game was Yellow, I got it along with my first GBA one christmas when I was either 7 or 8. Got me hooked and is why my favorite pokemon is Pikachu. <3

    Haven't missed any of the series since except B2/W2. I'm going to have it and play it after I play X.

  • Hmmm, I think technically, our (I shared with my brother) first was the Pokémon Trading Card Game for GameBoy. But as for the main series, Gold, because we were afraid to ask for one of the Gen I games earlier. =P Ah, good memories with that Gold...
