Team Blue represent! Ah, the nostalgia. I remember being a little dweeb that couldn't figure out how to save. (non-Enlgish obviously)

My first game was FireRed, so my first experience of Pokemon was (like many others) in the Kanto region. I couldn't tell you which exact year it was, but I remember getting Emerald after and then Pearl at release so I'd probably guess around its initial release in 2004, or 2005.

Pokemon Yellow, playing at the age of 4, took me like 4 months to beat lmao

Yellow, 2001, age 13, 7th grade.
My best friend had it and when she showed it to me I had to have it as well. When my mom picked me up from her house that day I asked for it and she acquiesced.

grew up with spinoffs, so my first pokemon game was pokemon stadium (2?, it was one of them).

Pokemon Red; been a pokenerd since the beginning!

I know my first Pokemon game was Soul Silver, not sure when though, probably 2011. I also got Black 1 and White 2 both around the same time after that, which I also have nostalgia for probably in 2012/2013. I know I'm probably not a "true" fan because I wasn't born in the 90's, but, eh.

EDIT: White 2 was the game that impacted me the most, by the way. It was also the first game where I got a level 100 Pokemon on. (Oh and it's my favourite Pokemon game)

Pokemon Blue in 2000. My parents got it for me at a yard sale as well as my first game boy.
I am going to assume it was the Summer of 2000. So I had just gotten out of Kindergarten and was going to 1st grade. So I was....6


The one that had the most impact on me, probably Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Crystal was also very close behind those.
Emerald was the first game that I trained pokemon to Level 100 without cheats. It was Pikachu and Glalie, as at the time, Glalie was my favorite pokemon and Ash had it in the Anime.

Pokemon Firered.

Pokemon Black and Black 2

Pokemon Red is my first Pokemon game ever 🙂 I was in 3rd grade then. 🙂

Pokémon Red for me! It was also the first video game I ever owned. :) Everything before that had been played at a friend's or cousin's house.

Started with Pokemon Red as well.

I started with Sapphire, as my first ever GBA game and the first game I personally owned.

I started with firered after being convinced by a friend to pick it up

Either Red or Blue. I had one and my brother the other, but he lost interest fairly fast so I ended up with both.
I don't remember which one of the two was my own one and therefore the one I started with.

First Pokemon game I bought myself was Yellow after saving up money for it for a considerable time.
