See title! have you ever gotten anyone you know into the series? \o/ or at least to try it briefly, like handing your game over for them to play a bit, or having them watch an episode of the anime with you?

UMM like everyone in elementary school until they banned it lmao. I got my younger cousins into it, my step-cousin into it (and onto PC!), everyone I’ve ever dated, and friends of all age groups as late as 30 to start monotype gyms!

I got my mother to play every game from Red right up to Y and she enjoyed all of them. She also put 300 hours into Blue Rescue Team, about 100 hours into Explorers of Time, and she played Pokemon Go for a while. She got a DS just so she could play Pokemon Pearl!
this is the cutest thing I've ever heard omg

Having a mother who played Pokemon growing up was a blessing and a curse - on one hand, I never had to explain why I needed a game when it wasn't my birthday or Christmas...but I had to share my Gameboy, and I would often wake up in the morning to find it not where I left it. xD

Didn't take with my dad unfortunately! He's always said he doesn't have the reflexes to play video games...then pointedly ignored me when I've told him the games are turn-based and do not require reflexes.

I think I played a role in two of my cousins getting into Pokémon: my oldest first cousin on my mom's side because he liked whatever I liked (I remember that he couldn't even read when he got his first game—Crystal—and named his player JKLO) and my third oldest first cousin on my mom's side after I let her play Emerald Version (she got Pearl soon after). I also restored some interest in Pokémon back in high school when I taught some of my friends how to play the TCG.
