    My earliest memory is when I was five and sitting at my desk in school and arguing with the person beside me, who was better charmander or squirtle.
     
    Me, when I was six my friend showing me Pokemon cards and me falling in love with them. That was my P-Mon beginning.

    Spoiler:
     
    Uhmm...playing Red version and I remember my cousin and I pretending that we were Pokemon. He was always Zubat and I was Vulpix. xD
     
    My dad gave me a used gameboy cause he didn't think i would know how to play it anyway, i turned the gameboy on, played pokemon blue and went on with my day! :) Mom and dad were amazed that i could catch on to gameboys that quick! :P
     
    Good times!!! lol Me and my brother were fighting over a charmeleon pokemon card that came with the nintendo power magazine long time ago. lol
     
    Me and my cousin where in the back yard racing through, er.. whats the mountain in kanto? Everyways. I was on Blue and she was on Yellow. I beat her because she had to beat Jessie and James :)
     
    Hmm... I was really young... maybe 5?
    Two of my brothers were into Pokemon, and I decided I'd give it a try. :P

    I was playing Yellow version.. battling with my Pikachu, and then my Pikachu was defeated! :O
    I thought Pikachu was dead.. and started crying..
     
    My first memory was seeing the advertisements for Pokémon Red and Blue versions, and then finding a leaf green card later on. That is what started my first interest though. That was quite some time ago.​
     
    It was probably my sixth birthday and my soon-to-be father gave me three packs of Pokemon Cards. Venusaur on one pack, Blastoise on the second, and Charizard on the third. The pokemon I only knew of at the time was that "yellow think with the pink cheeks" however, I remember from (I think) the blastoise pack, I got a Venusaur holographic.
     
    The very first time I'd ever heard of Pokemon was the day I first saw the anime.
    I must have been 8 or 9 years old, I was at my afterschool program (A daycare thing) and my step-brother had picked me up really early that day. Pokemon was on TV at around 4:30, and my mom normally never even got off work until then.

    I've loved it ever since <3
     
    My first memory is when I was 8, it'd just come out here, and my friends were all wanting to play pokemon during recess. They tried to get me to join in but I didnt know what in the world it was XD I had to be a charmander, and had to keep asking what charmanders could do
     
    I was around 11 or 12 when the anime first came out here. I watched the beginning of one episode, and thought it looked boring, so I shut off the TV. A couple of days later, I decided to seriously watch an episode, and it was one that involved Ash battling a Metapod. Later on, I saw the one where Ash and his friends had to rescue Charmander. I think from then on, I started actually liking Pokemon.
     
    When my god brother let me play his Silver Version.
     
    Earliest... yes...

    When I was about 2 or 3 (btw, I'm really young ;P maybe some of you remember my age), I remember watching the show when it was rather new like everyday. I can't remember the episode I saw first, but the themesong got stuck in my head and I couldn't stop humming it :D (of course failed the melody but still tried to hum it ;P)
