I got Blue and Red for Christmas, soon after they came out I think?

I remember my brother got Yellow for his birthday, and I wanted to play it so much that my parents must have assumed I would want the other two. Not entirely sure why they got me both, but they did.

Blue was my preferred one mind.

Been playing since I purchased Pokemon Red, the day it came out! I went to the store, seen the cover with Charizard on it, and begged my mom to buy it for me. Luckily she did, or I may have never started Pokemon!

Pokemon Red. I was a kid when it came out (1998 feels like forever ago!). This was before the show had even been released and the concept was very new. I had a Game Boy with only one game at the time. I saw the picture of this cool dragon looking creature in Toys R Us once. Asked my parents to get it for me and I've been hooked ever since.

I've replayed the game so many times during the years, even after the new gens came out...there's just a wonderful charm about playing it in its first iteration when everything was still so new. Only game that ever topped it for me was Gold :)

My first game wasn't one of the older ones (at least I don't think it is XD). My first as far as I know was Pearl. I think in the past I wasn't all too interested. I don't really know how I got Pearl or why I got it. XD But it's the oldest Pokemon game I have in my possession at the moment.

Woo team Fire Red! I got Fire Red as my first Pokemon game. My extended family and I are close so about 4 of us (my cousins included) got the game and our competitive kid instincts kicked in. We were hooked and have never looked back.

Because I loved Fire Red so much as my "original" Pokemon game I once got into a heated argument about how it came befor ruby and sapphire... :/ lucky it all blew over and I have some great friends haha but we really do connect powerfully with our first Pokemon experience!!

Maybe Blue, or Silver? Honestly, I can never remember. But, I say this, because I played these games at around the same time. I'm sorry! (T.T) I was younger then! I didn't even know what pokemon was! I just played with my charmander, and cyndaquil! Trained and had fun.

My first Pokémon game and first game in general was Blue. My older sister had owned it and a couple of other games including a Pokémon spin off and a purple Gameboy Colour before she gave them all to me. It's a shame my GBC started crashing. And it had lasted for 14 years when my first DS only lasted for 3. I've been playing Pokémon since I was 3 and don't intend of stopping even after Pokémon has reached its end. :)

My first Pokémon game was FireRed, which I got in first grade (at the age of 6). But, I stole another kid's game, and my mother made me give the kid my FireRed since I lost the one I stole. Two years later I got Emerald at the age of 8, and when I was 10 I traded another FireRed for a friend's Ruby, which I considered my second official game when I realized I started a collection out of those games. When I was 8 1/2 I convinced my mother to buy me Sapphire from Wal-Mart, which I promptly lost. :/

That Ruby is the only game I haven't replaced, although I do own a second copy of Ruby since my sister has a profile on the first one.

What a trip down memory lane that was~ :3

I guess I'll be the first "old one" (haha) to post here and say that Pokémon R/B/Y were my first games and I've played all of the main games after and even a few side games like XD and the Mystery Dungeons.

Pokemon Emerald was my first game. Later on I tried playing with Pokemon Yellow and Silver version. Pokemon Silver kept deleting itself, I don't know why.
