Well, I saw the first episode and initially dismissed it as a 'kiddie' show. Then I saw Pikachu start electrocuting people and I was probably hooked after that. What really hooked me was the island episode (with the robot Pokemon). That also gave me the idea for the Pokemon-themed sub-quests.

I got Blue in '96 and the eventually got Red and then I got Yellow on my birthday which was just after it came out. Then I gold Gold, Silver, Crystal, Sapphire (before it came out in the UK :P), Ruby, Fire Red and never owned Leaf Green or Emerald yet. But sadly I no longer own any of my GBA games or my GBA....:( I NEED TO BUY A NEW ONE!

But er....Hurray for being a fan for 9 years and counting!!!

I was around... 10 I think.

There was just a huge uproar for Pokemon at my small school and within a week, everyone was trading cards and playing Pokemon Blue and Red in the scool yard. Sorta miss being that young :(.

Well one day my Brother told me about the trading cards and showed me one of Gastly, then one day my mum decided to buy me a game boy colour and she bought pokemon blue with it, I played on it for a bit then I got addicted to it, my bro ended up getting red version. From then on I allways bought the games as soon as they came out, I also collected the cards for a while too ^^

Anyway, the Pokémon fad erupted amongst the boys in my Year One class. I heard them talking about it, and then I got up early one day. x.x I sat through this aerobics thing - actually, that became a habit! Get up early, watch aerobics at 6:30 AM for no reason, and then watch Pokémon :3 - and then it came on... and... I thought "Wow, Pikachu's so cute!" And then I just was always up then, so it became a habit to watch it. And Pikachu's uber cuteness hooked me. X3;;;

I got a wierd one, My mum was doing volinteer work in the school canteen, and one of the other mums, who was one of my mums friends was always playing a red cart, so I asked what it was. She let me have a go training, and the next week I bought blue and red

Well.. I can't say for sure I liked Pokemon from the start.. I used to hate Pokemon alot.. and it's solely because of the anime.. But after I started playing the video games.. I got pretty interested in it... If you want to know when all the addiction started.. It was probably when Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire version was released.. I went crazy over it and spent lotsa time on playing the GBA..

Let's see, I got hooked on Pokemon why back in 1997 when i saw the comercial for the first two games and saw Pikachu for the first time. The next day me and some firends were talking about the comercial and how cool it was and we were hooked.

pokemaster7 November 9th, 2005 6:17 PM

Linoone November 9th, 2005 6:31 PM

I played games and watched the anime, and everyone at school watched too, then everyone left and I didn't know why, but i remained liking it, and re-boosted my obsession when i saw Linoone^^and I think it will remain boosted forever*faints*
