Not to argue, but pokemon started on wb. It hasn't been anywhere else except cartoon network and that is only rescently.
no, sorry. the first 40 episodes were shown on UPN before they were given to the WB. I know what I'm talking about. I taped them all as well, so I can go back and watch them and see the little UPN logo in the corner. o_o; maybe it was only where I live or something similar, but yes, they were.

it was originaly on UPN where i live too
but i found pokemon out from a friend of mine who asked me if i was going to buy it before i even knew what it was. (this' before it was released) and i said i dunno, and then he bough it (blue version) the first or second day it was released and i saw him play it, it looked awesome, and i bought it later that week.

It was 1998 and I was 6 years old. I had gone to Milwaukee to see some relatives and was watching TV when I saw the first three episodes of Pokemon. I've loved it ever since. I remember pretending my grandmother's pillows were Pikachu to the point where I nearly ripped one and had to get an actual Pikachu plushie. LOL. And I don't think Pikachu is a stupid rat but I don't like to argue so I won't say any more on the subject.

One day when I went over to my friends house, he had a copy of Pokemon Red, and was playing it in his room. I was curious as to what it was, so I while I watching him play it, I asked what it is, and he said Pokemon Red (duh =p). After observing him play it, and even play it myself for a while, I got really interested in it and asked my dad if I could get it for my 9th birthday (I think it was my 9th birthday, but I'm not exactly sure). Well, to my surprise, my friend was the one who got it for me! But it was POkemon Blue, not Red.

And that's the story about how I came to discover Pokemon..

The year was 1999, and I was 11 years old. I was in 5th grade, and I was playing in the schoolyard. I saw a couple other kids on a bench, and they were playing their GBs. Having been a GB fan for a few years, I was curious to see what they were playing, and I was excited to see what it was. I had never seen this type of game play before- walking around and battling. Over the course of a few days, I continued to check out what they were playing. It then occurred to me that I could be playing the game at home, and I asked them what the game was - it was Pokmon Blue. I asked them if I could give the game a try, and I think I was able to capture a Psyduck on my first try. That event led to me buying the game which then led to discovering the TV show. That's how I discovered Pokmon - I don't think I'll ever regret it.

Eh I discovered pokemon some 5-6 or so years ago... I was in 3rd grade and my friends were talking about his weird cartoon with these monsters called pokemon. They said it be on at like 6 in the morning every day so I decided to catch an episode. The rest, as they say, is history.

hmm, I started watching the series when I was six. My cousin came over and brought some of his tapes and he told me to sit down and watch some. I actually remember the first episode I ever watched. It was the one where Ash gets Charmander (It was even brand new then lol). What is is called? "The Stray Charmander?" Anyway, he got me interested in the series and I started to watch it. The second episode I watched was the one where all of Ash's pokemon are stranded on the island and I couldn't read what they were saying. Good times...

My cousin had the crystal version when I was kinda into it. I was like "Were did you get that?! Is it fun?!"
She let me watch her play it, then she let me have her old gold version. Loved it ever since...

My older brother was like... 6 when he entered his first Pokemon Card Chamionship and he was really good. (He even got several badges!) and then a year later I watched him play and I thought it seemed cool. (i was really young) and i started to play some of my brothers RPG games and I was hooked.

HA! Absolutely love this. One of my oldest topics in PC, from 2004...

And I never imagined I'd be closing my own topic four years after. Brings back good memories!

Thanks, whoever revived it!

Just don't do it again!
