  • 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.

  • 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.

    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)
