When I moved to a city from the countryside in second grade, I had no idea what Pokemon was. At recess, kids had cards, and figurines, and all kinds of pokemon merchandise. So I asked my neighbor about it, he was about 5 years older than me, and he gave me his old original gray gameboy with red, blue AND yellow. =]]]
I was terribly inexperienced with handheld games. The only other thing I played was Duck Hunt with my dad.
I remember, I first played Blue, 'cause that was my favorite color of the three, and I thought I had made it far once I reached Viridian City. And when I found the secret potion to the west of the city, I thought that the branch was the potion, and I had no idea how to pick it up. x]]]
Boy I've come far from those days, bwahahaha.
