I started with Blue on the 20th of july 1999 (since I got it for my birthday).
I never took any breaks from the series. What keeps me playing today are of course the new pokemon that are being added every generation and since I always keep a living dex in my box it takes some time to get them all. A new region and story is really exciting too. When the craze about a new region is gone, I still keep myself busy by replaying the games, often with certain themes (like an avatar challenge, monotype run, fossils/starters only teams etc). I also like to hunt shinies so that keeps me busy as well. |
I have been playing since August 1999, so about 17 years ago at this point. I think I first picked up the TCG starter set in July, so I guess I had gotten started with that by this point 17 years ago. I've played Pokemon continuously ever since, though my play time has its ups and downs. I've been playing a little less the past month or two (think I burned out a little bit, plus I just bought a Wii U, so more of my free time has gone to playing that instead), but I'm sure my play time will pick up substantially once the new games release. I don't have as much time to play these days as I used to, but it's still a great hobby. I mainly play Pokemon before bed at night these days, to help wind down and fall asleep.

Been playing since Diamond. Not sure when I got it but I think it was a gift from my mother. It was for my 7th birthday in 2009 but may have been in January 2010, not sure. That would've been just under a year before the release of B&W.
There is actually a big chance that I wouldnt even be a pokemon fan by now. Before Diamond I had never been interested in pokemon in the slightest and the gift from my mother was actually one ds game of my choice to go along with everything else she got me, this was so I got to pick atleast one present for myself instead of them all being picked by mom. (The ones she gets me ar always amazing though) When I went to pick my game I didnt instantly pick Pokemon Diamond as I wasnt sure I would like it (funny looking bat at it now considering Im a very big pokemon fan) however, I didnt like any of the games the store had so I thought Id just give pokemon a go thinoing I might like it a bit and the rest is history so if it wasnt for having such an amazing mother and that store having nothing I liked I may not be here on these forums today or even be a pokemon fan at all :0. |
I reckon it was around 2006-8, which was LeafGreen. Before that however, I had a bootleg, which used to be really common back here. I enjoyed playing the game, but I didn't really understand it. But at around 2009, I got Pokemon Emerald (I wasn't aware of the existence of the DS at the time). That was the time I started to get the hang of what Pokemon is, thus I became a fan since then :D

Is Diamond your favourite Pokemon game or have you found others that you prefer? |

Well, since I could play on my computer, with the emulators... Only gen 1 was out, so maybe in 1999? I am 23 now so I played all my life :)

I started with Fire Red shortly after it's release, I think, so 2004? Twelve years. It's been quite a while. I feel, though, that while Fire Red was my first, I live more in Hoenn than Kanto, due to its lushness.

I started with RBY in the late 1990s, got almost every main series game on release since except for ORAS since I was away on vacation at the time. Almost crazy thinking that I've been a Pokémon fan for 2/3 of my life now... The franchise is really dear to me, it's helped me through some rough patches.
