2nd Gen What was your first gb/gbc pokemon game and why?

[Medli]

I believe I got Pokemon Silver along with a Gameboy Advance for Christmas in 2001 (never got the GBC). Apparently, my Dad was suggested by his friends at work that this was the new amazing thing in stores for a kid. I think I may have also got the PlayStation 1... huh. I could swear I got them earlier... maybe I got the PS1 earlier... maybe I did get the GBC... oh well.

Mine was Pokemon Blue .

My friend gave it to me in 2000 . He borrowed it to me for a few months , so I had to get that back (sadly...) .

First, my bro got Blue for Xmas then got sick of it after a week so he gave it to me. Later, I got Gold cause my other friend got Silver.

Yellow version for the Sean man. That was the first one that I ever owned that was actually mine and not my brothers. The first one I ever played was Red version.

Red wasn't actually mine, it was my brother's, but he didn't play it nearly as much as I did, so TECHNICALLY Red was my first game, but not really.

Yellow version were the first one because I knew it was a special version and all the cool things that were in it.

Pokemon Yellow,because a friend of mine gave it to me and I loved the game.

 

[Pringlesman]

Pokemon Blue, my best friend had red. I remember buying it on Halloween of whatever year they originally released the games in the states. I picked bulbasaur and Rattata was my first catch. I eneded up having to restart that save because I had like a level 40 venusaur and a team of level 12 pokemon. Second save was with a squirtle. I'm pretty sure when I finished the game it had Hydro Pump, Watergun, surf, and strength.

Red, because my cousin got Blue. Originally I watched the show and then saw the games and wanted to get them. I ended up getting it for Christmas and was obsessed with it.

 

[Toxicroak]

Mine was Pokemon Yellow because thats what my dad brought me ( i think it might have come with the GBC)

 

[Dizzy Punch]

Mine was Pokemon Blue, right back before my first Communion in 1998. I'll never forget the feeling of first navigating through the maps... I really don't think anything I ever play again will compare to those first few days with Blue.

 

[Nincada]

I started off with pokemon red. I always used to play it in sunday school and everyone would gather around and watch.

One day a kid brought his game and we did a link battle, but he had a machamp named "Sasha" and it kicked my ass.

 

[Mario The World Champion]

I got Red and Blue for my 17th birthday. So, I was there when it all started. I spent my whole summer playing Red and beat it before I went back to school.

 

[FireShock]

I got Red a few days after it came out and I picked it over Blue because of how cool I thought Charizard looked.

 

[Spinksy]

Mine was Pokemon Red. Got it for my birthday in 2001 (5). Was epic fun.

 

[Converge]

Mine was Red, and due to my childish nature it took my FOREVER to defeat brock, and when i did, i didnt know what to do :p

 

[Lucciola]

Yeah I started off with red as well I think then went on to the other games like gold and crystal

 

[B_B]

[jamieh6621]

Pokemon Yellow. I was 4, and for my birthday my mum and dad got me a GBC, with Yellow and Scooby Doo classic creep capers. I played Yellow first though.

 

[Masquerainisthajam]

My first one was Pokemon Gold during the summer before my 5th grade year (I think!). I had a deadly team consisting of my Feraligator, Ampharos, Machoke, Togetic, and others. Oh, I forgot, I also caught a Ho-oh.

 

[iwuzhere9]

Started off with Red, lost it (I WAS CRUSHED) moved on to Blue, then got Yellow, and then Silver. I played through Gold enough to trade the exclusives over to my Silver. I never got Crystal.
As for why I started with Red, well...that was because it was a birthday present. An amazing one at that.
