When did you become a fan of Pokemon?

[Hyper Mew]

I really can't remember. I think it was in the Kanto saga. The only thing I can remember is that the first episode I saw was the one with the diglets.

To be honest, I actually liked pokemon before it was 'officially' in the U.S. It was here, but it had just arrived. My parents had bought me my Christmas presents, and two of them were Electronic Japanese Charmander and Pikachu. My parents really didn't know what they were, but they were cute, and I was young. Little kids are easily entertained, so I guess they used it as a way to shut me up and make me happii. XD

Well after getting them, I thought they were so cute that I made my parents buy the games for me! But again, I was young, and didn't know what I was doing (7-8 yrs. old at the time). It probably wasn't till Yellow came out that I really understood how to play the game. Until then, I just thought the monsters were cute and watched the show. XD

 

[Absol upon a time]

I became a fan of pokemon when the first red and blue games came out in Japan (I think it was 1996 - 1997) before then I thought I would like it as I read up about it in magazines and on websites. I have liked pokemon ever since, so that would be 7 years.

When the show started or when yellow came out ^_^; I think I waz 4? that dosen't seem right but 4-6 how long haz it been out >.< I'm sorta forgetful ^_~ Amanda

those numbers seem wrong, considering your age. Pok?mon game first hit American stores in September of 1998. It was first released in Japan in April (I think) of 1996. So if you are currently 15, the youngest you could've been when you started liking pok?mon (and this assumes you liked it when it was in Japanese only) is 6-7.

Eh. My bro brought home some cards. I thought they were kinda neat, nothing more. Eventually, somehow, we both got into Pok?mon big time.
