  • Technically, I started on pokemon cards. When I was five, $3.25 was serious cash, so you'd better believe I squealed with joy if I got a holographic card.

    Mine first real game was gold. I got it around when I was 6, couldn't find out how to get out of my room, then let it sit for two years while i played some jungle book game.

    Then, i finally did find out. And boy, seeing sentret, totdile, etc. (ZOMG new pokemon) was mind-boggling. I had the green pokemon handbook with all the original 151, so all these new pokemon were so awesome and cool.

  • Blue version, it was my sisters when she went to school in the morning i would find it in her drawer and play with it till i had to go to school in the afternoon for kindergarten =).
    Soon enough i got my first game for my birthday after my sister was sick of me touching hers and using the master ball on a slowpoke, which was yellow, and a teal blue gameboy color.

    Mine was Pokemon Red. ^__^ I can still remember the first time I played it. This was maybe a few months before the release of yellow. I was super excited because I had been watching the shows, then I found out from a guy in my class there was a game. I bugged him every day til he let me borrow his copy of Red and his gameboy. I borrowed it for 2 weeks, then went out that Christmas bought a gameboy color and both Red and Blue. :)

  • Pokemon Red for me. It was for that game that I decided to get a Gameboy Color. I remember playing that game all the time. I would battle with my friends, trade pokemon, and talk to that old guy in order to battle the missingnos. Good times.

  • I'm pretty sure it was Crystal, I was looking at some Youtube Pokemon walkthroughs and thought "Hey, why don't I download a Crystal ROM?" This was not too long ago, it was pretty much on my 10th birthday.

    The first game I played was Pokemon Red and I distinctly remember I got a Charmander and then I didn't save it. So I had a heart attack when the game restarted to the begining again. XD

  • The first game I played was my Red version. I got it around Halloween 1998 (god, that makes me feel so old!). It was an early Christmas gift because my parents were sick of me bugging them for it. :D

    That would be Pokemon Blue for me. My friend bought it first (actually I think he rented it...) and I played it on his black and white game boy. XD

    Then I got Pokemon Red for my birthday and we duked it out until I got silver. Then he got gold and well the rest is obvious. =p
