Do you remember how you got all your Pokemon games? If you have any stories of how you got some of your Pokemon games, feel free to share! I remember some Pokemon games by the exact date, and where I bought them! Which, I'll add here later.
----
GEN 3 (spinoffs included)
Pokemon Sapphire - sometime in 2011, I bought a used copy at a Gamestop. I don't remember much else.
Pokemon LeafGreen - I got this game at Target back in 2008 a few months after I got Pokemon Diamond. It was pretty cheap for some reason. lol
Pokemon Emerald - lmfao, I.... stole it from a friend in 2008. <_<
Pokemon Dash - I bought a used copy at gamestop. Waste of money, but literal yolo.
Pokemon Trozei - another case of getting a used copy at Gamestop, don't remember the exact year, maybe 2012.
Red & Blue Rescue Team - used copies at game stop. Late 2008/early 2009. I think I got RRT later, but I don't actually remember.
Pokemon Ranger - another case of getting a used copy at gamestop lol.

Gen 4.
Pokemon Diamond - May 22nd, 2008. I got a Nintendo DS from Target & a copy of Pokemon Diamond. Neither the Nintendo DS or this copy of Pokemon Diamond function properly anymore at all. Maybe five years or so later, I bought a used copy of Pokemon Diamond...to my surprise the person had it last was a nasty cheater with many shiny Mews. :|
Pokemon Pearl - July(?)/December 2008/Feb 2009? (don't remember), I bought Pokemon Pearl from Target. I spent too long trying to beat it tho. :') The game is VERY glitchy, and I'm scared to ever touch it again.
Pokemon Platinum, March 22rd, 2009! I got the game the day it came out because I was a smart kid and had my dad put down $5 to preorder it. I didn't get my Giratina toy though. :(
HeartGold - December 6, 2010, I bought a copy at Gamestop w/my Hannukah money (or maybe it was Walmart?)
SoulSilver - Also got this one at Gamestop in early 2011? But idr very well...
Explorers of Darkness - 2008/09, I got this game at Radio shack when coming home from my grandmother's house.
Explorers of Time - Many, many years later, I got this game at target...
Explorers of the sky - Another Hannukah present I bought myself at Target LMFAO.
Pokemon Ranger Shadows of Almia - Another game I bought at Target. Late 2009.
Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs - heck I don't even remember when this game came out! But I bought it in 2010(?) at GameStop.

Gen 5.
Pokemon White - Either June 2010 or June 2011 on the last day of school! At gamestop again.
Pokemon Black - sometime in 2010, 90% sure at gamestop again, my memory is very fuzzy on this one.
Pokemon Black2 - got it in 2012, idr when. Another Gamestop purchased game.
Pokemon White2 - also another one I got in 2012... but I don't remember beyond that. <_< Like Black2, it was gamestop purchased.
Pokemon Conquest - bought it at gamestop and don't remember much else. ;;

Gen 6 -
Pokemon X - October 13, 2013, I was waiting on a LONG LINE at Comicon for this game, oh my god. The first day they were sold out. <_< My friend's mom gave me extra money so I could buy it, I was grateful to her that day.
Pokemon Y - December 2013. Maybe November? I got it at gamestop.
Omega Ruby - December 2014/November, used Hannukah money to buy it at...Target(?)/Toys R Us? One or the other.
Alpha Sapphire - Also bought this game during the holiday season of 2014.
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon - holiday season 2015/16, I bought this one at Gamestop but by the time I had done so almost all my friends had played it already. :(

Gen 7
Pokemon Sun - December 2016 during Hannukah at Game Stop. Everyone I knew had already finished the game by the time I bought it.
Pokemon Moon - late December 2016 with my birthday money at (surprise) Game stop.
Pokemon Ultra Sun AND Ultra Moon - I bought both of these games at the exact same time in December 2017 at my local gamestop. Despite that, I spent forever playing them both bc I had gotten lazy with newer Pokemon games...
