    As the title says, how did you discover the Pokemon games?

    How I discovered the games? I saw my cousin playing his GBA so I asked what game he's playing. He said he's playing FireRed. If I remember correctly, he was at the Saffron Gym that time, and he couldn't figure out the teleport puzzle. I asked him if I could borrow and he said yes and I got him out of the maze. :D I was about 6 or 7 that time.

    Share your stories. :D

    Everyone else had it lol. The craze was just about starting out, people were bringing Game Boys to school and it was pretty much all everyone ever talked about.

    It was kinda hard NOT to discover it haha.

    I discovered?

    I discovered it not so long ago. It was when I am at school and everybody talks about Pok'emon. I was so curious about that so I let my dad buy me a GBA and a Pokemon Game. Emerald was my first game ever played!!!!

    Good times, Good times.

    I remember advertisements for the anime on TV. I initially thought it looked stupid. But I started watching it, and was hooked. It was a Pokemon Christmas that year. With my lovely Pokemon Blue and my clear GameBoy Pocket. And this.

    I just got a battery installed for that. 10 years after I got it, and it still works!

    A friend of mine told me I should watch the show, so I did. I caught the episode where Ash first catches his Caterpie, and after that I was hooked. I found out there were Pokemon games, and begged for a while... Finally I got a berry-colored GBC and Pokemon Blue for Christmas.

    A friend showed me Pokemon Red, but I forgot about it for a while until another friend and I got Blue and Yellow respectively, for Christmas. The games, to be honest, the only worthwhile part of the whole franchise.

    Hmm... I guess all of my cousins were playing it, and I think I got one as Christmas present from my uncle. It was Pokémon Red, if I'm not mistaken.
    Then...
    It became a part of life. XD

    Saw it in the store, and ta-da! Emerald was my first. I'm a very noble fan, but since not a lot of my friends play it I joined this place. Now look where its gotten me! :)
