    • I was in third or fourth grade when it actually came out here, but I don't think I really got into it until fourth grade. Sooo... I was about nine. And now I'm eighteen. Whooo, how time flies. :'D

    I originally was introduced to it by some classmates drawing Pikachu. I thought it was a South Park character at the time because I knew nothing about then-current fads. XD When I learnt what it was, I fell in love instantly and ever since, I've been a Pokémon fan.

    • It was 1997 my love for Final Fantasy was blooming that same year but when i went to school a few days after playing FF7 my fav game in the series i noticed a weird animal plushie a fellow class mate had turned out to be a seel and i asked her what the heck it was and she sad that word that will forever bond me to that brand name POKEMON!!!! thus my love for the pokemon mania began and Final Fantasy for awhile took a back seat to POKEMON :)
    I still remember my first starter a charmander named Char on pokemon Red :)

    • I think I started...
    When I watched a comercial showing that pokémon was going to be on Cartoon Network. I thought it was some kind of toy. XD
    But when I watched the first episode I simply fell in love with it, and became a fan.
    It was 1998, I was 8 years old, now I´m 17, almost 18...

    I first played pokemon as a videogame when I was 13, with a used pokemon yellow version and a used GBC.
    Because, here in Brazil, videogame is something associated with monetary condition, only rich people can buy and maintain videogames without piracy... (sadly it stills like that)

    Now that I have money to buy them, I won´t play pokemon again until they release a "decent" version of pokemon, hate this entire new generation.

    I got into it around the middle of the anime in America. I was about five or so, I think.

    • I think when I was 9 or something.

    We had the game on the computer first.

    Then the actually game came out and then they made the shows and whatnot.

    • I saw it first on TV after school ages ago, maybe about 6-7 years ago when I was around 8 or 9. I used to watch all sorts of anime after school and Pokemon became one of those. And then the TCG cards kicked in and it was one of those crazes around then.
