    I was 2 or 3ish... ironically, it was the only file I got a Legit level 100 until my Ruby file which I got my Blaziken up to 100... after around a year. Then I erased the copy of Blue because I wanted a bulbasaur :p

    I remember being 3 or 4 when pokemon first came out on Kids WB.
    Then when i Heard there was a game, i flipped out and begged my parents for a Game boy and Red Version.

    When I was ummm 12ish, I got the Gameboy camera. There were unlockable features in the game (like the more photos you took the more random albums and stamps etc you could explore). Needless to say, a few of these stamps were pokemon (of which had not gained popularity in North America yet). If I recall, the pokemon were the 3 final evolutions of the starter pokemon, maybe mew or Mewtwo, and I think Pikachu as well. Soon after, I got both blue and red. Of course though, I was at the age where Pokemon at the time ('98ish?) started to get unpopular for junior high kids. So I played it every once and a while. That was with my original gameboy, then I bought a colour game boy, then later on an Advance SP, but never bought their respective pokemon generational games. (there really wasn't a reason, I guess it was because I never thought about it). It was not until I got my DS that I decided to try it out again, and this is like 10 years later, haha.

    I was 6. My parents bought me and my sister a gamboy because we were obsessed with Pokemon and kept nagging about it. I remember going to France a week after we got them, and we weren't allowed to play them untill we started driving so she wouldn't have to hea rus 'are we there yet' ing xD Good times.

    Now I'm 16 and I still play them. xD. It doesn't seem so long ago at all, I cans till remember it like it was yesterday. I couldn't figure out I had to bring the Parcel to Prof. Oak, I had to ask my sister, who wouldn't tell me for the longest time, untill my dad made her because he was sick of my whining. I had Red btw and she had Yellow.
