LeafGreen! That was like one of the first video games I'd ever played too so it basically changed my life

technically yellow, but i didn't get past brock and then lost my cartridge. i played the stadium games, snap, and puzzle league a lot, though. and then my first real dive into the main series was sapphire.

Pokémon Platinum :))) It gave me SUCH a hard time back then, but I learned a lot with it! I remember my beloved Empoleon, then only Pokémon I used through all the game xD Classic newbie mistake.
I want to replay this game so much, but I lost my cartridge :c

The first game that I played was Yellow, though it was my cousin's copy that I just borrowed for a bit. A pre-owned copy of Gold was the first game that I owned, and Sapphire was the first brand-new game that I had.

Silver is the game I technically played first. It was my brother's copy though, so I wasn't allowed to play it often, but I'm counting it, anyway.

Gold, together with a GBA for Christmas 2001. It wasn't my first ever game but still my first Nintendo game, and surely it is one of the games I'm most nostalgic for.

Pokemon Red, still have my cartridge and I should still have the box and instruction booklet... I remember loving reading it over and over for some reason.

Pokémon Crystal!

My cousin was living with my grandparents and I went to visit them one day and saw he had a game that was about pokémon. I watched a show on TV that was called pokémon, so it must be pretty cool! So I played it a bit on his Game Boy, picking Cyndaquil. I then remember asking my parents for a Game Boy for my birthday which I would then take to their house and I remember asking my cousin to borrow his pokémon game which he said I could keep as he never played it.

It's kind of a bit hazy as this was a long time ago when I was very young but it roughly went like that!

first game I ever played was Fire Red, only for a short time, maybe a month or so, then somehow the game got lost when I moved homes.

Didn't play any other Pokemon game until I bought Black 2 with my own money, I started buying some older generation games to 'catch up' a bit... I have a different copy of Fire Red

I started with Pokemon Red, which I believe I got for my birthday that year...that was an exciting birthday. God I miss being that young.

Started with Yellow. Didn't actually own a Pokémon game until I got a GBA and Silver for my birthday when I was 8 or 9, but for years before that I would always borrow my step-aunt's GBC and her copy of Yellow. I can't count how many times I had to start the game over before I finally convinced her to let me keep the game long enough to beat the elite four.
