I was six. I got a purple GBC and Red Version for Christmas. My brother got a green GBC and Blue version. All of those are still hanging around here, and work. My GBC's up is dying though... So I'm not gonna use that much anymore...

DUDE. Exactly the same with me. But instead of my brother getting a green gbc and blue, my sister got a green gbc and blue. I was six and still have the purple gbc and red version

I was 8 or 9, I played my friend's blue version, and got my own for Christmas later that year.

machomuu April 1st, 2009 1:00 PM

I was 3 at the time, ah...good memories.

Nemaru April 1st, 2009 1:31 PM

I first got it in late '99, I think I was 5 or 6.

mad.array April 1st, 2009 2:03 PM

I was 14, ten years (and a significant amount of growing up) and I'm still playing. You only grow up when you want to... so I'm staying right HERE! *Draws a circle around himself in chalk*

CrazyCubone April 1st, 2009 2:28 PM

3 years old! It was my sister's, she had Mewtwo and all, and I restarted her game. :3 How evil little sisters can be.

OokamiShipper April 1st, 2009 2:31 PM

Like...I dunno...4 or 5? I don't remember, as young as I still am, it was still a long time ago. xD

DARKSHADE April 1st, 2009 3:06 PM

four five or six??? i cant remember >.<
I'll ask my dad as he was the one who bought me my gameboy color and pokemon red

(by the way it should at least be R/G/B/Y)

ShadowYashi April 1st, 2009 3:45 PM

I was like 7. I remember it was on my 7th Brithday, I got the Hot pink Gameboy and Pokemon Yellow, then I asked my friend can I get the Yellow Strategy Guide XD.

zacnoa345 April 1st, 2009 4:05 PM

Blue ownz!!!

CrasH April 1st, 2009 11:50 PM

I had my yellow Game boy pocket. And my brand spankin new pokemon blue that I played every day! I was I think 6. It was cool because all the kids in my neighborhood battled every day. We even did the whole trading card game.

Squirtle FTW!!!

Ayano Katagiri April 1st, 2009 11:53 PM

9-10 maybe? Sometime around there, soon after I got into the card game. Or maybe even earlier, I don't know.. it was so long ago now.

muckers April 2nd, 2009 3:33 AM

I was ten - I remember distinctly getting it for my tenth birthday as a joint present from my brother and sister. Got some TCG decks as well that year. :P

I still had the old chunky GameBoy Classic - so I wasn't even playing in black and white, it was black and green (or whatever horrid tint the Classic put on its screen). XD

Finally got a GBC in the summer after G&S came out!

Scales April 2nd, 2009 2:49 PM

I was probably 6 years old. So fun to play back then. I loved how all the pokemon looked, but didn't like how the pokemon sprites didn't look as... creepy in GSC

Wulf April 2nd, 2009 2:55 PM

It came out in 96, 97? I was 3 or 4.
First game I ever owned.

BeachBoy April 2nd, 2009 2:58 PM

I was ... seven? I remember vividly getting my Blue version and GameBoy Color, but I can;t seem to recall the exact age.

EagleVision1999 April 2nd, 2009 4:42 PM

I got Yellow and a Gameboy colour for my eights or ninth birthday^^
I never played it before or saw someone playing. I just wanted it because it was about Pokemon.
So it was funny to discover everything about it.

Alice April 2nd, 2009 5:05 PM

I was 7. It was my first game.

Eureka1 April 2nd, 2009 10:25 PM

Think I played it around year 4 so I'd have been about 9.

10 years later I'm still playing it.

ShadowLeader April 2nd, 2009 11:00 PM

i was like 7 or 8....christmas that year i got Red and blue and a gameboy pocket! next month for my b day i got Yellow and a Gameboy Color....man i miss childhood...:(

Fierce. April 2nd, 2009 11:03 PM

I was about 7/ 8 years old when i received my first color Gameboy with Pokemon gold.

deliriouspurple April 3rd, 2009 12:57 AM

I think 10, when my friend of mine share it to me.

Sunyshore April 3rd, 2009 6:34 AM

I recall being something between six and seven at my aunt's house in afternoon or evening. And, though I can't remember anything about that moment anymore, I know I have loved Pokémon since it.
