What was your first gb/gbc pokemon game and why?
 
Mine was pokemon red and i got it cause i prefered the colour red over blue and charizard look epic.:cool:
also I got it cause all the grade 6's had them and showed me in prep and i thought it was awesome.

Mine was Pokémon Blue, Christmas 1998. I'd been collecting the cards and watching the Anime for about three months by then, so when I asked for the game for Christmas my parents got me Blue as it was my favourite colour along with my GameBoy Color, which was my first GameBoy. And I was dead chuffed when my Uncle visited America in 1999 and came back with Pokémon Yellow for my birthday, which was barely five months later. x3!

I'm really happy because my Blue game still has my original save file, too. None of my internal batteries have run dry yet, so I count myself as blessed. XD

My first GameBoy Color game was Pokemon Red, because that's what I asked for for my birthday.

ArcanineOod November 2nd, 2009 10:37 AM

My first Pokemon game was Yellow because that's what I was given ^_^

My dad bought me both Red and Blue the day they came out and I played Red first only cause since seeing Charizard I loved fire types. (Honestly I love all types)

I loved pokemon already and I asked for them both when I heard a game was being released c:

My first game was Red Version.

I was 11 years old. I bought it when the other kids at school started bringing their GBCs to class. I chose Red because I was convinced that you could only get Charizard in Red version, even though the cashier told me that Charmander was in both games. I, being a naive 11 year old, was like "Nu-uh!" and bought red anyway. I bought blue sometime later (I think I had finished Red minus the pokedex when I bought blue).

Damiano November 2nd, 2009 3:45 PM

The first game i got was Yellow along with a green GBC

Sydian November 2nd, 2009 3:47 PM

My first was Yellow in 99 because I didn't have a GameBoy in 98. xD Also, my mee maw got it for me for my birthday because when my cousin got it, I constantly hovered over her. She eventually just let me play it for her because 1. she was lazy, and 2. she didn't really care that much about Pokemon. So, I got it a month later for my birthday. Unfortunately, I was stupid and didn't get past Brock and I lost it. xD

Demigod November 2nd, 2009 4:25 PM

Pokemon Red. My cousin had Blue and we battled all the time.

Sweet Visions November 2nd, 2009 4:34 PM

The first Pokemon game I played was my brothers, it was Blue. I still can't find it. :(
The first Pokemon game I owned was Gold. I lost that one too, lulz.

Kirbychu November 2nd, 2009 5:11 PM

Crystal, plus a Pikachu and Pichu Silver GBC, because my parents noticed how much I liked loved the franchise, and knew the perfect gift for me.

mikey November 3rd, 2009 10:14 AM

My first one was Pokemon Red, because I simply liked the way Charizard looked XD

Pachireecko November 3rd, 2009 10:30 AM

Gold because my friend gave me a 14 in 1 game cartridge and Gold was the first game on it.

IceSage November 3rd, 2009 1:07 PM

For my birthday, my friend Jared surprised me with Pokemon Blue. I thought it was amazing that he got me a video game for my birthday. He also got me a guide to go along with it... But I think when he borrowed it back from me, he lost the guide, or I did. One of the two.

I remember the fun times when we'd play Pokemon and trade together... filling up the Pokedex. When we knew about the Game Genie code to get Mew, we went ecstatic. Back then, it really didn't matter if you were cheating or not, as the audience for who you'd encounter of people who had Pokemon were slim. It's not like these days when you have the whole world playing alongside you and you're concerned if you get something that was created by cheating. =P

Zig November 3rd, 2009 2:02 PM

My first Pokemon game was Yellow. I picked that first, over Red/Blue just because it looked awesome. And the idea of not having to choose a starter appealed to me at the time.

GlitchCity November 3rd, 2009 3:21 PM

mine was gold, i got that game and my first gameboy for my birthday.
it kinda took me awhile to get the hang of it, then after a few months i got the red and yellow versions

yaminokaitou November 3rd, 2009 7:30 PM

Mine was Red, and I got it for Christmas. My other cousin wanted Blue, so I got Red. Later on my other cousin also requested Red for Christmas. We've followed that tradition ever since.

bewbs November 6th, 2009 2:04 PM

Mine was pokemon yellow. ^_^
I was such a happy child.

ScytherX November 8th, 2009 9:39 AM

My mum and dad bought me a game boy color (purple one) with pokemon yellow with it so i played it and that was the beginning of my pokefantasy XD

TwilightBlade November 8th, 2009 9:43 AM

On Christmas 1998, I got Pokemon Blue. My parents bought both Red and Blue but did not put name tags on the presents. So, my brother and I randomly picked one gift and I got Blue. Ironically, I got the pink Gameboy instead of the blue one. Fate giggles. :P

emimcg123 November 8th, 2009 10:25 AM

Mine was pokemon red, as i prefered charizard to blastoise :)

Zorbees November 8th, 2009 10:26 AM

Gold im pretty sure,then silver blue red yellow crystal i think.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ November 8th, 2009 2:35 PM

Pokemon Blue, because my brother had Red and I wanted the version with Meowth/Persian.
