    Yeah, I own a copy of every Pokémon game in the series from RBY to BW (apart from Green) and I've played them all, so this will be my.. 11/12/13th year, not quite sure but I know it's over 10 years ;)!

    Since Red and Blue came out in America. Which was 1998 if I remember correctly. I was a little thing... So, it's been about 12-13 years, I suppose.

    Uuumm.. I was 9 when I first got into it, and it was due to the japanese!Anime, since it wasn't quite released in the USA yet.

    That was.. 13 years ago. Woo. I feel old. :/

    Can't believe it's been 15 years since Red & Blue, 12 years since Gold & Silver (2 years for HG/SS!), 9 years for R/S! (maybe a remake at 10) and most surprisingly 6 years since Diamond & Pearl. Really just shows how time flies.

    I started playing whenever Red and Blue were released in the UK. Sooo 12ish years? This number just upsets me since I've never actually completed a national dex in that amount of time lol.

    I've been playing since Red, and that was 13-14 years ago I think. Man. Time flew.

    6 years of a fan, my friend from school played Pokemon Crystal in the field trip in November 2004, and I found Pokemon red in my house at the beginning of 2005, so I got into it more in that time, but I did play gold in 2002 in school as a break after the big test, and it was at the closet. 9 years of interest probaly.

    My first Pokemon game was Red version, back when it first came out in '98. I have been playing ever since then. I've played every game from then to now.
    Woot for old school!

    Back in the day we only had one type of Pokemon, and to catch it we had to walk thirty miles in the snow.....while on fire. :D

    I played pokemon Ruby (first pokemon game I ever touched) about five years ago for the first time at my friend's house. About four years ago, I got my first pokemon game, Diamond! :)
