What was your first game? Do you still enjoy it?

[Flowerchild]

My first game was LeafGreen, and despite the many many times I played it it's still pretty fun to play every year or so. I tend to play FireRed instead these days because I prefer its exclusives, but those games are basically identical tbh. It's still quite fun, I enjoy it a lot. ^_^

How about you? Which Pokémon game was your first, and do you still find it fun?

 

[RetroPokeman]

My first one is represented by my avatar. While the series has made tremendous improvements, I still like to go back and revisit the originals every once in a while.

 

[Hikamaru]

For me, it was Ruby.

I sadly haven't played it since moving onto 4th Gen (and now even more outclassed by OR/AS) but it does hold a place in my heart.

 

[Drayton]

Gold or silver, I was a twerpish when the game got out and I just play for fun

 

[AliceBlaze]

Mine was LeafGreen. It's not my favourite game as I like the Johto games better, but I still enjoy playing it to this day and it'll always have a special place in my heart.

Blue was my first game but I don't enjoy the gen I games anymore. I find them too difficult to play with the lack of features, how dated they feel, and a lot of my favourite mons weren't introduced until later gens. DPPT currently remains my favourite, but I've gotta say S/M seem to be shaping up to be pretty strong contenders.

 

[PageEmp]

Plat was the first game I bought, HG was the first game I completed.

 

[AmetsuCAT]

Sapphire was my first game, but I somehow don't have it anymore. I had two at one point but I remember trading one for something. Then that should have left me with one, right?

I don't remember playing it much, but I do remember getting up to the Elite Four and never being able to get past the third one.

 

[Kikaito plush]

Pokemon Yellow was my first one but since I can't find my copy I don't really play it.

 

[CidHazard]

Started with Pokemon yellow when I got my first see-thru Gameboy.

Bought it again for my N3ds... it has a rustic feel to it... and somehow its campaign is a bit more challenging; since the game wasn't so balanced back then.

 

[sonic65101]

My first Pok?mon game was Pok?mon Crystal Version on the Game Boy Color. It remains my favorite Pok?mon game to this day, and I still find it fun.

 

[Lunar]

FireRed was my first game, I still love it to bits and replay it every year or so, I must have replayed it so many times and for some reason it never gets old. It's still my second favourite Pokemon game and would probably be number one if I didn't literally have an obsession with Emerald haha.

 

[Esper]

Blue was my first, but the last time I tried to play it I was too frustrated by how slow the game runs and generally how it doesn't have all the things I've gotten used to in the current games.

 

[Knyte]

Pokemon Gold/Silver (my first games) really hooked me in. The graphics, the better features. I thought if Pokemon games could improve, it could only get better! And besides, they have one of the best designed regional Pokemon. And no I don't get to play them anymore. I play Emerald instead, not my first but definitely my favorite. And that's when I second (counting the red gya on gen 2) encountered a shiny, a Ralts early game.

 

[thedestinedblade]

The original Red version was my first, but trying to replay it after buying it on the eShop shows me that the game hasn't aged particularly well. I was kinda forcing myself through it to be honest.

 

[Sheep]

Blue! Started it all for me. I don't actively replay RBY since the tiny bag space and lack of item sorting is tedious, but it's always fun to go through again to do a challenge run. Wave of nostalgia. Just... those Pokémon back sprites aren't so pretty. especially salad Venusaur lol 3:

 

[Sektor]

Pokémon Blue Version was my first game, and I have an unopened copy of it somewhere. I still love the game, due to nostalgia, but I don't think they're outright superior like some people.

 

[dudealmighty]

Mine was Crystal! I still play it and HGSS a lot. Like, way too much. Y'all have no idea.

 

[Sylphiel]

'Twas Blue.

Sadly, it's very difficult for me to get back into it, since it's just...well, "dated" really is the best way to describe it. This seems a bit strange since I love playing older games and normally don't mind retro sprites at all, but for some reason I just couldn't get over the graphics in Blue. And then the battling was just... :/

Yeah, I've tried a few times, just couldn't get back into it. Something like Gold and Silver I would gladly play if I could. Blue is just a bit too much for me, though. Couldn't even get back into Yellow when I tried. First Gen games just don't do it for me anymore.

Blue; and I still like to play it even now. While heavily outdated, it still has a lot of features that I enjoy that aren't around anymore. Like gift Pokemon automatically getting send to the PC and challenging TM management/HMs actually being useful moves in battles.

Also glitches, tons and tons of glitches.
