TV show is what got me into this franchise, definitely. When I was younger, I found it to be very entertaining to watch, and would do almost anything to not miss a single episode. Though, I've lost interest as time moved forward, but fortunately, the games have helped me keep sticking; they gave me a reason to keep following Pokémon.
Anyhow, this is sort of a broad topic we have here (as it doesn't strictly relate to Pokémon games), so if we don't mind, I'll move it to the correct area for us!
Moved to Pokémon General.
I think I saw the Anime first while on holiday in Florida, but I didn't really get into it until after I played the Gen 1 games
Sorry to juggle your thread around, but just wanted to give you the heads up that we've already got an active thread discussing how everyone got into Pokemon, so I'm just going to merge this over there!For me it was the tv show. Around the late 90's I started to watch the tv series and that's what got me involved with Pokemon. I had a N64 before I had any type of hand held device and I played Pokemon Stadium (and Ocarina of Time lol) making it the first Pokemon game I got to play. Then when I was about 6, I got a gameboy color for Christmas and I got to play the main series Pokemon games for the first time. Then ever since then I have been absolutely obsessed with Pokemon lol. What got you guys in to Pokemon?
