First Card

[Gold Tom]

What was your first ever Pokemon Card.

I got mine at a Garage Sale and it was a Dark Charmeleon. I lost it when I moved houses, I miss it so.

My first card was a plain, simple Ponyta. I got it like 8 years ago, for helping out a friend of mine with some homework he did't really understand. My 2nd card was Marowak, but I have no idea how I got it. I used the Marowak to win a Raticate and traded that one for an Arcanine.

Hah, pleasant memories.

Actually, it was the Base Starter Deck that I started off with, not an individual card. Although, if you want to get technical, you could say it was the Machamp that was first in the stack...

 

[Faceless*]

A Weedle O_o my good for nothing cousin would only give me his trash-pokemon XD

 

[Rai]

Either a Rhyhorn or a Caterpie. I don't remember which 0.o

Some girl at my summer camp gave it to me.

Base Set Beedrill from the first Base Set Water/Grass starter deck (I forget the name at the moment) was the first one I noticed. It just called out to me, even though, it's old and gunked up, I still used it for my 50th deck. So, does that count? Heh. I'm sure there are others, but none with actual impressions.

Maybe Mewtwo from the Psy/Lightning starter deck, "Zap," as it was interesting.

I think my collection started the same way, and I think I split it with my cousin. Somehow, thinking of this brought me to the wishful thinking that they should make a Pokemon Trading Card Game video game for the DS. (Maybe it's because I have no one to play against anymore in RL)

hmm my first card was mankey... i remember it like it was yesterday... but it was actually many many many years ago like 1 month after pokemon cards hit the shelves for the first time... good times

[Pokekid1995]

My first was a Charizard and I still have it.

 

[Kayke™]

I believe my first card was a Japanese Blaine's Vulpix. Ah great memories...

Just a question, to what lengths would you go to get a card to replace your original one?

...None, actually, seeing as I believe I still have it. :)

 

[Gold Tom]

I mean should you lose it.

I would only spend around $5 for a Dark Charmeleon 1st Edition.

Mine were ten commons from Base Set. A friend gave them to me for helping him with his maths homework in year 9.

 

[Jaimes]

A Japanese Jungle Oddish & a Base Gastly and Tangela. I didn't have a clue what to do with them XD

 

[Kitori_theTeamAquaSuicune]

My first rare card (because I got a crapload of cards for my birthday) was a holographic Venusaur.

But because I was incredibly stupid about pokemon (it was popular so my parents assumed I knew it. I didn't know squat except Pikachu.), I traded it for a Japanese extremely common Pikachu.

As a seven year old, I was extremely stupid.

Indeed. I was hoping for the GB 2 game back when, and that fell apart. So, yeah, a US sequel is long overdue. Regarding the lack of players, at least, there is Redshark on Poke Beach for people online? Sighs.

 

[Puddle Fish]

Wow! That'd be really cool!

My first was also Dark Charmeleon, but I got mine from a friend back when I was younger because I shared my Chips with him:P
