I usually get them from my parents when I beg them to buy them for me....
The only one I got for my birthday was my fantastic FireRed (loved that game) .
My friend had a GBC and both Gold and Silver which I LOVED to play, so of course I asked my parents for a GBC and either game for my birthday. I ended up getting Crystal and a GBA since they had JUST been released and I couldn't have been happier :D Also got Ruby the following year and Leaf Green the next for my birthday too. Pearl I bought myself and Blue I got from my brothers friend.
I myself have never gotten a Pokémon game for my birthday, but my brother has. I gave him a copy of Platinum and a used DS for his birthday, and he was ecstatic.
I got a Gameboy Colour with Pokemon Red and Yellow for my 9th or 10th Birthday (can't remember XD), my first Pokemon games, I was so happy because my Birthday is on December 10th, and a lot of my friends where having to wait till christmas to get them, that was possibly the best B-Day present I ever got.
