    First times..ahh memories..

    How old were you when you first beat your Pokemon game? And which game was it?

    I was 6 years old. (As god as my witness this is true) I'd got it as a Christmas present and beat the game in three days. I was so proud of myself. :D It was Pokemon Red. I wish I didn't lose it. :( I remember pawning with my Charizard, NN Char Char.

    So tell me PC, how old were you when you beat your first Pokemon game and what game was it? Also who was your starter?

    Ah, I'm in the mood for a life story :D
    My first game was Yellow, got for my 6th birthday back in 1999. Family friends (religious) told me Pokemon were evil, so that scared me out of playing for a few weeks. Then I got back into it, and after an age, I discovered how to beat Brock.
    But I didn't beat the game. I got... I think the 5th badge, and got stuck while looking for the Card Key in Silph Co.
    By then, it was about 2001, and a friend in my class gave Silver to me. I'd played that before, and once figuring out how to get to Morty, I flew through it.
    TL;DR, my first game to finish was Silver, when I was about 8. I remember playing through it so many times after that... Then it was in my pocket, and went into the washing machine. That killed the internal battery, so.. Still have Yellow, though, and I finished that in about 2004. Took quite a while, yeah, but I really enjoyed it :D

    This.
    Though it took me three days to get out of the house and another week to find out what saving was. It took me about two months to finish, after getting it for my birthday. I still remember my Charmander that I refused to evolve. I stupidly overwrited the game three years later. I still have it and the battery is still going.

    I can't remember how old I was. It was Pokemon Red that I beat first and that was prior to the release of G/S/C, so it must've been 1998 at a guess. So I was six. How I miss those days, the Elite Four scared me back then. :)

    I was about ten or eleven years old when I first beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Sapphire. It felt good beating a game without any assistance at all. Now I only wished to go back and beat it again with properly trained Pokemons.

    Wow, six is a popular age to beat your first Pokemon game. That's how old I was when I beat Blue. I remember my friend would come over with his Pokemon and we'd both play next to each other, helping each other with hard parts of the game.

    Hmm, I think I was 4 or 5. It was Pokemon Red and I chose Charmander. I think I completed the whole game using Charizard. Needless to say, I didn't know that I should have caught some Pokemon for my team. :P

    7 or 8. I'd guess 7 though.
    I didn't get Pokemon Blue until a year after it came out, and I was jealous when I saw a friend playing it on his Gameboy Pocket.

    My first starter was Squirtle, because he was awesome at the time.
    My pidgeot on that save file was my first level 100.
    my second didn't come until my Typhlosion on Pokemon Gold when it came out :P

    The first time I played Pokémon was during my holidays. A friend was playing Ruby and he asked me to beat the League. I was 8 at that time. But, when I was 12, I completed my first Pokémon game: Gold. One year after, I beated Diamond (which was a drastical change for me). After that, I have beaten most of the games.
