What was your first main series Pokémon game?

[Shining Raichu]

I got Pokemon Red for my eighth birthday from my aunt and uncle. I had no idea what it was and I just played it to be polite. Fourteen years later...

 

[fiOWNya]

Pokemon Blue, back when it first came out. :)

 

[Ravenfreak]

My very first game in the main series was Yellow. I got it from an awesome friend, who also gave me his original brick Game Boy with it. :3

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

Pokémon Silver, which I loved so much I went backwards and got Yellow after that haha :)

 

[Haseyo]

Blue version, while my cousin got Red.
Not really much else to say, got every version after that. Once D/P came around, I started only getting one or the other since I started getting more friends that played so trading wasn't an issue. I always got the "fusion" version like Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, etc.

 

[Esper]

I had blue. The two other kids who had Pokemon both had red so they said I should get blue and I did. Still have it, and it still works. (b'')b

 

[Ultimate Uchiha]

I'm sure my first was Red but then again it could've been Blue. I'm not entirely sure because I got them both at relatively close times but if I had to put my money on it I'd definitely say I had Red first.

 

[Aeroplane]

My first was Pokemon Red when I was 6 years old, got it at the same time as my Game Boy Color. :)

 

[FACEcake1223]

My brother was fixing his PSP and needed parts, and since I never used the thing, we had a deal. He would trade me his Gameboy Advance, the charger, and Pokemon Sapphire for a couple screws from my PSP. So Sapphire was my first Pokemon game. Best deal ever, and better yet, now I have his PSP too! Rahahahaha!

 

[Brendino]

The first game that I played was Pokemon Yellow, but I didn't own any of them until I got Pokemon Gold.

 

[Katie the Friendly Ghost]

Yellow. Actually got Blue later, not knowing that Yellow came second haha.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

I had Blue and my brother got Red. Christmas 1999 was a good'un, that's for sure.

 

[La Foudre]

The first game I got further than the first gym was Pokemon Gold when I was verrrry young. The first game I ever beat was Ruby. Both of these games belonged to my brother. The first game I ever bought/owned myself was Pearl when I was 10 years old.

 

[ShaymieTheShaymin]

My first one was LeafGreen. I got it when I was five. That seems like so long ago.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Technically, I got both Ruby and Sapphire first, but I started playing with the latter before the former.

 

[Xander Olivieri]

I started with Pokemon Blue. It was fun back then cause I turned 10 when it came out XD

 

[PokeMMO]

Pokemon blue was my first, it was sooo long ago I can barely remember playing.

 

[Clucknadus]

I started with Red, and I've beat every main-series game from there on except White 2. I played a Japanese Black 2 ROM through the Elite Four.

 

[Lt. Col. Fantastic]

Technically I got Gold first, but some kid ripped me off for 3 dollars...damned thing didnt save...

So my friend gave me silver, when he got crystal. So I'm counting silver as my first.

 

[TrainerCDub]

Pokemon Sapphire. I found it a long time ago at a GameStop. I still haven't finished it. :P
