I was never into the anime honestly, even when I was a kid.

Only reason I got into it is because my cousin had it, let me give it a trial run and I've been hooked since. I even tried competitive battling bout 4 or so years ago and got pretty good, but I fell out of the scene because of the military and life. Completely missed out on the Black/White generation.

Back for the X/Y and hoping to jump back into the competitive scene, though I'm not so sure now with the addition of Fairy. I really don't like the type.

I would have to say my parents. They are the first ones that introduced me to videogames and Pokemon with Pokemon Stadium for the Nintendo 64. When I was 4, they bought me my first game console and introduced me to the world of Pokemon. It was either that or when I first started watching the show, I can't remember.

It was back in 2nd grade when Generation III had come to a high, and all my friends had Game Boys and FireRed/LeafGreen. I got a silver GBA SP and Emerald after saving up my allowance, and after I found myself interested in it, I continued Pokémon even after those people were gone from my life. It's really been my saving grace as far as interests go. :)

I loved pokemon from the momentum it played on tv, to the day I found out that such a thing as gameboy existed. Sadly Iv never owned a gameboy or any handheld console so every pokemon game Iv ever played was through emulators. And thats what realy got me into pokemon, the games:-D

Probably my childhood friend Chris. We battled and traded together, and he'd even let me play some of his older Pokemon games.
I don't use "uber" Pokémon, I don't calculate stat values, I don't use cheating devices, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.
