I am 21 now, so I was 13 when this happened. Talk about a #throwbackthursday x,D

Crumbs. You guys make me feel old, haha. I was 18 in 2007, and the only person I knew to have bought it. Luckily i was dating a dude at the time who saw I loved pokemon and bought the diamond to my pearl so I at least got his Dialga before i dumped him ahahaha

I remember that day, I had to wait until the end of the day to play Pokemon Pearl and I was so excited that I poked a big hole into the case in order to open it. I was in the 9th grade and I was 15 years old.

6, got it in 2010 when i was 9

I was 5...I started playing DS games in late 2009/early 2010...I got Pearl in May of this year. It was a pre-owned copy, and the previous account only had all of the event legendaries that existed in Gen 4, so that was awesome.

I would have just turned 14 the month prior. I got the game for Christmas that year.

To say the least I think it's honestly the weakest in the series, but apparently I'm alone in thinking that.

9 years old. I had a DS that year and bought Diamond the next year.

5 or 6 when D/P came out, just starting Kindergarten. My parents didn't think I'd get what was going on even though I had watched my sister play Emerald at least a couple of thousand or so times and understood what most pokemon did. I got why they thought that though. :p

But being the kid I was, if I couldn't get D/P, I'd just ask for Platinum. And that's what ended up happening 2 years later, when I got Platinum for my eighth birthday. :D

Sydian October 3rd, 2014 10:34 AM

I was 14 and in 9th grade. I bought them both on release day. :) This was about the time it was hard to find other fans of the game locally though, but thankfully my siblings played. We had plenty of fun times helping each other get the (at the time) new evolutions and battling each other. :)

HollyYoshi October 3rd, 2014 5:17 PM

I was sixteen at the time of release, though if I remember correctly, I didn't get Diamond until my seventeenth birthday in November.

JJSTOPKA89 October 3rd, 2014 8:23 PM

I feel old reading these posts because I'm 24 now and got platinum when it came out but have been playing pokemon since the first game released. And I've got a full notebook of pokemon cards(the original 150 including all the holographic cards) I've been a Pokémon fan since it started haha

Apollo October 3rd, 2014 11:53 PM

I was 6! :P But at that time I was still a GBA kid, and had no clue of anything related to the DS. It wasn't until a few years later I got Diamond - and HGSS was already released by then!

Dreg October 4th, 2014 1:59 AM

I was 16 when Pokemon Diamond came out. I thought it might have been released on the GBA, though.

JGGray6 October 4th, 2014 7:29 AM

16, 23 now. But I wasn't playing pokemon at that time because I thought I was too old for it.

Infinitum October 7th, 2014 4:01 AM

I was 6 years old when they were released. They didn't become my first Pokémon game though, that was Explorers of Darkness in August '08.

Aoba October 7th, 2014 6:17 AM

I was 13 when it was relased but I got DS Lite and Diamond for Christmas that year and I had turned 14 in October. :b I remember when I had asked for DS lite and Diamond as a present, my mother said that "aren't you too old for Pokemon". I'm nearly 21 now and I'm never too old for Pokemon !

ThornZ October 31st, 2014 1:35 AM

I was young, about 8 years old. We got the game when I was 10 I think.

Candy October 31st, 2014 3:30 AM

Damn it's already been 7 years? Time flies...

I was only 10 when they were released.

pkmin3033 October 31st, 2014 1:48 PM

I was...seventeen. In my first year at College. God, that feels like a lifetime ago now, yet when I think back on it I can still remember how excited I was to be playing it!

Shygotu November 2nd, 2014 8:23 AM

I was only 7 when they came out, I had already played and beat Emerald, so I was extremely happy about it, I worked hard on chores and when me and 2 friends had enough money we went to walmart and bought it, that was my most memorable playthrough of any Pokemon game, because we spent days maybe even weeks stuck after the seventh gym, because we couldn't find the Spear Pillar.

TwilightBlade November 2nd, 2014 9:39 AM

I turned 15 on April 23, 2007 so... Technically, I was 14 when I bought Pearl on the release date. I was pretty lucky to get a birthday present 1 day early.

Maserati777 November 19th, 2014 7:49 PM

I was 17 when the game came out though I've never played any of the games. I didn't care for the DS.

Odyssey November 20th, 2014 1:52 AM

I was 8 when I got my copy of Pearl. I never get tired of playing Pearl despite its glaring flaws. :P

Amaruuk November 20th, 2014 4:22 PM

If we're going by the release date, I was still 18. I don't remember if I got the game right away or not, my Diamond was lost to history several years ago.

Jakebert November 25th, 2014 9:41 AM

I was 7 when it was released, 8 when I got it on my Birthday.
