What aspect of Pokémon did you get into first?

I started watching the anime at around 4-5 years old. That was back in the Advanced Generation Days and I have so many fond memories of watching the show at my grandmother's house. I actually didn't realize that pokemon games existed until I received Pokemon Pearl on my eighth birthday.

I'm not exactly sure which came first; I watched some of the anime, and saw other kids in the playground with the games and TCG cards. A mixture? The games got my attention the most however.
 
TCG! My babysitter's next door neighbor gave me some cards and I picked up the show soon after. My next door neighbors (on both sides) also played the games so I picked up PMD Blue Rescue Team in my early age too. But it all started with a Holographic Delta Species Salamence card that I still have to this day.
 
Anime for me! Well the movies technically. I had copies of the entire collection (up to Arceus). I started with Jirachi: Wish Maker, up to everything else and then I got Diamond and then everything steamrolled from there.

I'm not exactly still heavily into (actually work is full of Pkmn nerds so I might be) but I still love these.
 
Anime. First episode I've seen was the one with Marowak trainer getting his badges stolen by Team Rocket. TCG was next alongside various non-TCG collectible Pokémon cards and then finally games when I got Game Boy Micro with Sapphire (even through I've played Yellow few months earlier).
