The Serious Table August 2nd, 2014 6:06 AM

I was only 10 when this happened

The Scarlet Devil August 2nd, 2014 5:05 PM

I was 10 back then. It's crazy to think how long it's been.

I was 11 because I recieved Diamond for my 11th birthday along with a DS. This was three months after the NA release. As 11 year olds are obsessed with cheats and otherwise exploiting video games, I used the hell out of my Action Replay to catch every Legendary I could think of.

At this time, I got hooked on internet forums and subsequently, Pokemon chat rooms to Wi-Fi battle. After years of offline gaming and struggling through link cables, Wi-Fi and wireless connection seemed like a miracle to me.

I was 13 (though I swear it feels like I was 14) when I got Pearl the day it came out. I played the hell out of that game, I think I had 500+ hours on it by the time HGSS came out. I remember when all the Pokémon forums exploded with its release because I had just started getting active in online Pokémon communities in 2006.

hmm it was july 2007 i think when it came out in nz haha.. I've never really played pokemon before so when i received a ds lite and pokemon diamond for my 14th bday it was really cool i was so excited getting my very first pokemon!!!


PS: Sinnoh is the best region d:

CurseShooter August 14th, 2014 5:27 PM

I was probably between 13 or 14

diamondeyes August 16th, 2014 6:19 PM

I was exactly the same as marisa, 9 years old and given pokemon diamond and a ds for my birthday ;u; my friend had pearl and I was obsessed with playing it more than she did, so I got my own copy

pokem0nprincess August 16th, 2014 6:28 PM

I had just turned 13, and it was completely under my radar at the time. I didn't get into Pokemon until I was a senior in high school, and I got my first copy of a game from the gen (Diamond) the summer after I graduated.

It was released like a few weeks after my 10th birthday I think. I remember getting the pre-order as a gift as the game was like the one thing I really wanted haha. :)

ProfessorDex August 18th, 2014 8:59 AM

16. Doesn't feel like it's been so long.

Jedlly August 18th, 2014 12:22 PM

I was 9, but I had to share my copy of Diamond with my little brother. My first Pokemon game I owned individually was Emerald

Aether★ August 21st, 2014 8:49 AM

I was 16 at the time, but I wasn't even aware of other Gens than first and second at the time, because I stopped watching Pokemon in 2003. I started to play overally in 2009 so I realized there was III and IV Gen after a while and not to mention V was coming up really soon.

Gyardosamped August 21st, 2014 2:56 PM

I was 13 when these games came out.. and to be honest, they've been one of my favorite of the entire series.

curiousnathan August 22nd, 2014 7:03 PM

July 2007... I was quite young; around 10 or 11 too!

Treecko August 22nd, 2014 7:28 PM

At the time DP came out in America, I was 14 going on 15. I was in the middle of 8th grade and I knew there were some knew Pokemon recently announced, but didn't realized until several months before that a new game was also coming. I guess I didn't just put two and two together , and realized new Pokemon meant new games. lol

yadon August 22nd, 2014 9:07 PM

I was a fresh faced 16 year old, who instead of worrying about driving exams, just wanted to catch 'em all!

Indifferent August 22nd, 2014 9:55 PM

I was 15 and beginning to lose interest in the series, thankfully these games gave me a new opinion on it.

Meganium August 22nd, 2014 9:58 PM

I was 16 and a junior in high school when DP was released, but I never played the game until I got to college. :P

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE August 24th, 2014 1:18 PM

I was 14 but I must have been living under a rock or something cause I had no idea they were even released lol :) Then when I got to Uni in first year (a little bit after I'd turned 19) I was watching someone play Pearl with a lot of interest and got pretty hooked after they let me have a go haha, so after doing some research I went out and got my own copy of Diamond and it's been one of my favourite games ever since :)

Codename Peace August 27th, 2014 1:35 AM

8 years old, wow, I was young.

Pachireecko August 27th, 2014 2:26 AM

I'm pretty sure I was 8. I remember marking off the days until release off on my calendar and then forgetting which day it was supposed to come out so I ended up getting it a week late.

Synerjee August 27th, 2014 2:51 AM

I was 13 then. I was aware of the release but didn't get the opportunity to play it until I got an NDS for my Christmas present at the end of the year. I straight away downloaded Pearl onto my R4.

CanadianBrick August 27th, 2014 9:45 AM

I got my first DS an d pokemon game when I was 7! My first Pokemon game was Pearl which I sadly lost and ya. The first game I played I didnt know what to do so I played the whole game with a starly. I released my chimchar at the beginning and won the game with a lv 100 Staraptor. LOL
