I remember being in 5th grade, and getting a video tape in the mail with a Pokeball on it. I vaguely knew what Pocket Monsters was from my Japanese friends and their magazines, but didn't really draw the connection until later. I put the tape in and a very eccentric man proceeded to tell me how awesome Pokemon cards are and the games are taking the country by storm. I thought it was kind of stupid, but then I saw all my friends with the games and noticed I was the only one without a gameboy and Pokemon. I remember borrowing my friend's gameboy and blue version and staying home "sick" for 3 days not putting it down for anything.

I don't know why, but the concept of a boy not too older than me traveling across the land and befriends monsters and humans was just appealing. Now that I look back, the concept was pretty stupid, but back then it was gold.

First Pokemon I saw was Pikachu and I thought it was from South Park so I disliked it.

Then saw the series on TV one day and became hooked. XD; Well, sorta. I remember having a bad dream after the Beedrill ep that I can still vividly remember to this day but THAT'S OKAY.

For some reason, I always hated it when it was a fad in my school (surprisingly, that fad didn't last that long). I was always sick of people talking about Pokemon all day. I hated it with a passion for some reason. Sometime later that year (which was about 10 years ago...wow), I saw my cousin playing Yellow. It looked interesting, so I asked if I could play it. Since then, I've been hooked on the games. I have absolutely no idea how I started watching the anime. The funny thing is, my cousin no longer likes Pokemon.
