The first game I played was Pokemon Stadium at my friend's house. My first game I personally owned though was Sapphire. I got it for Christmas the when I was about 7 years old. Took me awhile to figure things out. In fact, I had to restart the game 5 time because I didn't know how to save. Once I did figure it out though, I was hooked. I Played over 300 hours on it and I kinda became the Pokemon Guru at my school. I was like an expert-for-hire. They would give me their game and I would get something for them (Like Flygons or Salamences). In return, I got a bunch of different stuff such as cash, Pokemon figures/cards, and other stuff. One time, I got a free Pokemon Emerald from this one girl because her older brother didn't play it anymore. I still have both games to this day and I play them every now and then when I get bored and laugh at the names my 7-10 self gave to some of my Pokemon.
