What was your first Pokèmon game??

[Stochastic]

Pokemon Emerald, I believe.
Those were the days, when everything had a certain mysterious tone to it. No walkthroughs or faqs or bulbapedia.

Can't remember much except that I KO'd Groudon. D:

I didn't really understand the significance of one-time Pokemon back then. I KO'd Sudowoodo and the red Gyarados in Crystal (as well as a shiny Scyther); I hadn't even tried to catch them. In a way, I miss that.

My first Pokémon game was Yellow, which I got for Christmas 1999. I was kind of reluctant to even try it out when I first saw it upon unwrapping the wrapping paper, but, once I loaded it and started a game, I was hooked almost instantly. (Figures, since I was told upon being given that present that I would like that game.)

[Golden Warrior]

My first Pokemon game was Pokemon Yellow. I don't remember why or how I got it, I just remember seeing Pikachu following me around and loving it. Since then, ha, I've become quite the fan of Pokemon. I had no clue Pikachu was the mascot back then, so he's held a special place in my "Pokemon I most love" list since. I liked him before it was cool!

My first was Sapphire when I was about 5. I remember I couldn't even get out of Littleroot Town, but that didn't stop me from playing for ages. It took me two years to beat the game.

The first game I played was Pokemon Stadium at my friend's house. My first game I personally owned though was Sapphire. I got it for Christmas the when I was about 7 years old. Took me awhile to figure things out. In fact, I had to restart the game 5 time because I didn't know how to save. Once I did figure it out though, I was hooked. I Played over 300 hours on it and I kinda became the Pokemon Guru at my school. I was like an expert-for-hire. They would give me their game and I would get something for them (Like Flygons or Salamences). In return, I got a bunch of different stuff such as cash, Pokemon figures/cards, and other stuff. One time, I got a free Pokemon Emerald from this one girl because her older brother didn't play it anymore. I still have both games to this day and I play them every now and then when I get bored and laugh at the names my 7-10 self gave to some of my Pokemon.

^This. When I was 7 I couldn't figure out how to save my Blue so I restarted a couple of times as well. I thought there were checkpoints :D

My first Pokemon game was Yellow. I was about 8 years old and I didn't even know there existed Pokemon video games, but because I watched the anime all the time my parents thought to buy me a Gameboy Color and a copy of Pokemon Yellow (I guess it was the only one they actually recognised as a Pokemon game because of Pikachu on the cover).
Brock was quite hard to beat, even though I had grinded my Pikachu to ridiculously high levels. After I had already beaten the game, a friend of mine told me that Brock is easier to beat if you have a Nidoran. So, on my second playthrough, I caught both a male and a female Nidoran and I ended up going through the whole game with just a Nidoking and a Nidoqueen, while poor Pikachu was rotting away in the PC box.

My first Pokémon game was Gold, and it was gifted to me I think at Christmas by my mother. At the time I received my copy, my brother was still into Pokémon, and he got Silver version. I remember the both of us lying next to each other on our living room floor starting our games together as well.

 

[Blueredemption]

My first pokemon game was red rescue, that started my love for dem spin-off games :P

 

[slim spazzy]

My first pokemon game that i actrually played was pokemon gold on the pc using an emulator called SymsGB.The first pokemon game i actually bought was a pirated pokemon fire red ! regardless of it being pirated i loved the game and it continued to save for at least 3 years :O.Good days :P

 

[Raine]

Does Pokemon Stadium count? XD If not, then Pokemon X is officially my first traditional Pokemon game ;___; It's quite sad. They were all on handhelds that I never owned so I never got the chance to play them D:

 

[stp]

Ruby.

I loved that game.

 

[Mithel_Celestia]

Leaf Green. Ironically my first game in Pokemon is the remake of the first Generation XD.

 

[Sopheria]
