What made you a fan of Pokemon?

[BigT14]

What got me hooked on the show was the softness of the show and that it was funny. Also it taught lessons.

 

[Timbjerr]

I got hoked on the addictiveness of Red/Blue versions. I had never played a game like it and never have since then. It was such an innovative yet simplistic game, it literally split the field of gamers into two factions: those that liked pok?mon, and those that hated it.

blue version's complete and total awesomeness.

 

[Alex_]

a friend got it and i then i got it it seemed pretty cool

 

[Kine]

The anime, simply put. It was just weird and silly, well, the first episode I saw was, and so I thought anything this wacky must be good.

 

[GOD.]

the feel good factor of it, its all very happy

 

[Snivi]

Well the first episode I saw was the Farfetched one. I thought the show was cute and the characters were funny. I did not have a thing for Ash at first either, he just sort of grew on me. XD

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Wow! A time when Toto wasn't madly in love with Ash! XD But... yeah... what got me hooked were the games. The anime... I watched and instantly thought it was patronising (Hey - I was a critic about everything when I was 9 ^_^), but the games blew me away. It was a change from stuff like Mario or Bomberman, which were the only other Game Boy cartrdiges I had...

i just love everything about it. the card game is mad (even though im not familiar with all the rules) and the TV show is great, but i have to leave for school before it starts :@ they have gone off the track slightly with the episodes, but all in all a great TV that is enjoable to watch!

 

[!Dragonite!]

The games,they are the only things that I like.

 

[Dragonfree]

Yellow. My cousins convinved me to try it, and... well, let's just say I was having a very hard time turning it off when we were leaving and asked for a Game Boy Color and Pok?mon Yellow for Christmas.

 

[AdamHays]

My friends,and his Charmeleon car,we thought it was the best card ever cause he did 50 damage.

 

[Latioscatcher]

The anime at first then the games

 

[Caz]

I just heard about it one day and decided to see what it was about. I've loved it ever since! :) (I heard about it before red and blue came out, There was a piccy of Pikachu & Clefairy in a mag and I thought they were cute)!

 

[PikaPal]

Pokemon is just so cool. I like the morals is teaches, and the characters grow on you after a little while.
oh, and for Ash, too!!

 

[TTYO]

I like Pokemon because they represent evolution that was beyond the real wild life
I prefer them in 3d though
I made a poll about this issue too

 

[Purin]

A combination of some lucky factors:
-Introduced to Yellow game
-Chanced upon the first show on TV
-Brother got into it

 

[NiNGi]

mmm I started with the show, and I liked the idea of the whole world of pokemon so I went to buy Pokemon Blue and became a trainer :P

 

[Pincushion]

I can't really honestly rember, I think it was the first time I saw that sweet little tiny Pokemon, Squirtle, how could I not go mad about the whole Pokemon thing then, I also loved the show, and the games & the cards I have 100's! woo yay!

 

[Claire]

I'm a complete and utter animal lover ^^ And the thought of training and working with such cute animals made me love the show ^^
