What was the first pokemon game (Any including spin-off) you first bought and played?

Back then when I was just a child, I demanded my dad to buy me a gameboy and the first game that I bought was Gold (or maybe was Silver) and I played it, later I got myself a GBA SP for my birthday and I'm hooked to Dungeon series as well LG. and more demanding I was; I got my DS then played Pearl.

So could you share your first pokemon base game.

My first was either gold, silver, LG, FR, Ruby, or Sapphire. Not sure which.

The first game I played was Red. I then played Yellow, Gold, Silver.

The first game I bought was Emerald.

I also played Leaf Green before buying Emerald. I forgot to mention that one.

I remember everyone being obsessed with Pokemon in 2nd grade, which was 1999 for me. So yeah, I got Blue version for Christmas around that time, either '98 or '99. I bought a game from every generation since then.

The first Pokémon game that I remember playing is Gold. Well, actually my brother was playing it at the time, and I started to explore with my character. I always turned the game off because of trainer battles you can't run from. I also know that he last saved on the first floor of the Tin Tower.

Mine would be Pokémon Blue. Didn't buy it myself; it was given to me by my dad as a Christmas gift. I found the game to be quite addicting, and would play it every day whenever I could. :) First game I bought with my own money, though, is probably Emerald.

The first Pokemon game I actually bought with my own hard earn money was Black 2 when it first came out - then bought a DS Lite a month later. The first 2 games I own (and lost) of the 3rd gen where given to me.

The first Pokémon game I bought and played was Red, in the summer of '99. I think that was actually the last one I paid for myself for quite some time (several of my subsequent games, through gen 2, I believe, were presents).

The first Pokemon game I owned and played was Blue version around when it came out. I was very young and my parents bought it for me. I hardly understood it but the Pokemon were just so cute. *-* And from then on I was hooked, haha.

If the question is which game I first played then it's Pokemon Silver.
If the question is which bought game I first played then it's none.
I haven't bought any Pokemon game yet =D

That's one memory I hold especially dear.
I was gifted both red and blue in Spanish at the age of 5. I didn't even know Spanish!! {D:}
This didn't stop me from finishing both of them, though. And I learned many Spanish words along the way.
One year later I got gifted a copy of yellow, in English ( which wasn't my language either ). I liked it even more, and also learned a lot of words.
This trend from my parents continued for years, and for me it became the norm, so much that basically every game I own is in English. My parents were crazy {XD}

Happy Blue player here. <3 I got Red for Christmas later on so that was my second, followed by Yellow. Wish I remembered what starter I chose, though.. it was either Squirtle because it fit the blue game or Charmander because he was so cute, haha.

The first Pokémon game I played was Red, which was gifted to my little brother for his birthday, the year the games came out...I was helping him through the game. The first one I owned was Blue, gifted to me by my parents for Christmas two months later. The first one I bought with my own money was the pair of Diamond and Pearl, back in 2007 (one of which I gifted to my aforementioned little brother).
