When did you get into pokemon? an how old where you?

when the second episode of Pokemon aired which was in 1998 and I was 6 in the half


:t354:TG
 
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.
 
I've answered this a few times on different forums but I keep forgetting the answer each time. >.<

*asks Mum* I started getting into it in 1999 when my Mum bought me Red for my 7th birthday. Pokemon has since ruined my life! XD
 
When i got into pokemon, was in 1998, when i saw the first anime episode that was like new when it aired here in Puerto Rico. Ever since then, i've always loved pokemon no matter what anybody else said
 
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.
 
Um whenever yellow vesion came out, I had just got it before a vacation trip to Florida, I think I was like 7 or 8


Edit: I just looked up when the game was released, I was around 5 or 6
 
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.
 
I've been with Pokemon since its first debute in America, my dad got me blue version for a birthday present along with a game boy color.
 
I started Pokemon when I got my first game, sometime around my 9th birthday. Ever since, I've been interested in it!
 
I was about 7/8, it was when pokemon was first on in the UK, it was before Digimon one day and i watched it and loved it

=]
 
I got into it around '98, loved it for years but then got tired of it and now I'm back. :D
