When did you start playing pokemon?

[kitaangel]

Oh wow, I can't pinpoint the YEAR but, I was like, 9-10 like, and I was at a friends house, one I hadn't seen in a while and she handed me her gameboy and the game and told me it was really fun and I would like it. I played until Cerulean City, then we watched movies lol, it was Red I think.
That Christmas though, I got a Gameboy Color and Yellow and to this day I still own the game. *clings*

I started playing pokemon in 2000 I think with Pokemon Snap. then I got fire red from my friend in 2004.

I started when I was 9. For my 7th christmas, I had gotten a bunch of Pokemon games, yet I never played them. My dad and grandpa did though. Every once in a while I would play yellow version, just for the heck of it. Then i decided I liked it and remembered another pokemon game in my toybox. I found out it was Cyrystal Version. From then on, I never put my Game Boy SP down.

My first game was Yellow, but I stopped with pokemon to Gold until seeing Sapphire...only while naturing I understood the game fully...

 

[RYOUKI]

i just think that my friend's sapphire version is realy cool. xD

Well, when I was younger I liked Pokemon, but I wasn't really a video game person until about...two years ago or something. That was when one of my relatives bought me a DS, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 1 and an Avatar the Last Airbander game, and...I've loved them ever since!!

Red came first, then came Gold. I actually started playing on a Non-Color Gameboy I found at a yard sale.

Call me what you want, I still like Pokemon.

Red version back in 98 I believe. I was six, just sitting outside playing it with friends and at school. Around the time when trading cards came about, the good 'ol days. I remember when I first completed the game with a Lvl 60 Charizard and a bunch of Lvl 30 Pokémon haha. After that, I played Yellow and Gold. I never played any of the GBA ones till last year, but I wasn't missing much. I got D/P last year, which got me back into Pokémon. What a game, i'd just like to be able to fly on a Pokémon but fight trainers in the air who also are on their Pokémon. Would seem like a cool idea.

First game i played was Yellow int he 1st grade i wa slike the only one in my class that didnt have a Game Boy Color and once i got it and yellow after my piano recital i was addcited i even took it to school which was against the rules but i didnt care ,lol

 

[ErickaVolt]

I think that was Pokemon Red. I forgot, that was 7 years ago. I remember playing Pokemon Pinball but it suck. :(

 

[Powers]

I first played red in a friends gameboy.. liked it, then I bought Yellow, my first Pokémon game.. I was like 8/9 years old at the time...

 

[Ruphire]

My first game was Yellow. But it was my brother's so the first game I played that was actually mine was pokemon ruby.

 

[Aegis]

I'm pretty sure the first one I got was Pokémon Blue |D; And I remember getting it very clearly too. It was only like, a week or so after the game had come out, and we were having a yard-sale, so I sold like a million things to have enough for a Gameboy Color and Blue, and I've been buying most of the games as they come out ever since :>

 

[An-chan]

I started with the collectible trading cards, not even the ones you can play with. Then I played Pokémon Stadium. When did I start playing the real Pokémon games?
Two months ago I got Diamond, and it's my first game! :D
I'm really new to all this, but I'm learning fast and I'm already breeding and taking my pokémon to contests, so...
But I'll get FireRed and Emerald one day!

 

[Confuse]

Fist one was Red. Can't even remember how I got it. Probably for Christmas.

 

[Mōnštȝr¿]

i started with red version...

 

[Volkner's Apprentice]

3rd grade with Pokemon Red. Oh the memories...Pokemon wasn't just a game to me then, it was a way of life. It was seriously something that had me daydreaming for countless hours about the endless possibilities the Poke-world could bring. I blame Pokemon for lack of focus in latter school years :mudkip^_^:
