My aunt got me Red when I was around six or seven. Then she sent me Gold and FireRed. After my FireRed's internal battery died I bought LeafGreen on my own. I'm hoping planning to get Platinum when it comes out in English.

Funnily enough, my father showed me Pokemon. When we just bought our second computer in November '99, we used to buy movies on CD. I used to get a lil' excited watching movies in my room on the computer. :|
He bought me Pokemon: The First Movie. I didn't like it at first, but after seeing my elder cousin play Pokemon on his computer via emulator(t'was among the first GB emulators, it had these large borders when playing Pokemon. I don't think it's SMYGB. Anyone know its name?) some time after, I thought of watching the whole movie, which led to me getting Pokemon Blue from him.

Well that's it. If you haven't noticed already, I talk a lot. Even about insignificant details you wouldn't care of. Actually, I don't really think anyone really cares which Pokemon game I started playing first. :\

The first game I ever played, I was about 7 or 8 years old and it was Pokemon Red I think. The I nicked my sisters Pokemon Crystal lulz and now I'm on Pokemon FireRed.

My first game was Pokemon Yellow. I had been a big fan of the tv-show ever since it started, and I had been begging for my own Game Boy Color for at least six months. On my 10th birthday I finally got it with Yellow version! I was so happy back then, especially because Pikachu was my favourite pokemon. I wasn't very good in english back then, but I had bought a finnish magazine that had a whole walkthrough of Yellow so I just did what it told me. :P

I started playing at the complete wrong time. Basically after the Pokemon craze had dissipated and faded into tabboo was when I started to want it. My first game was Yellow which is ironic because Pikachu is my most hated Pokemon!

I got it for my birthday, must've been my 9th or 10th birthday I guess. It was around the 2nd generation I became fanatical about it though, nothing beats good ol' Silver Version!

[PaulxDawn]

I started with pokemon blue, but i was not able to read and so i pushed tehe a-button the whole time...
Then i get Gold, but now i have also red and yellow.

 

[thethethethe]

Got Blue, but I don't know when. Feels like so long ago. Then I got Gold. Those were the only Pokemon games I ever bought. Still haven't played DPP. Looks uninviting to me. I don't know why.

When I was around ten or so and somehow managed to get Pocket Monsters Red, before it came out to US, sweeties. I didn't really started playing till I got Yellow a year or so later. I started with yellow for three reasons: I get to start off with Pikachu, it was a gift, and it was in English. XD

 

[lordbahamut]

I started with Red Version, I choosed Bulbasaur and went to level 65 or so with him, before actually training with my other Pokémons. I was 13 years old.

 

[Witch]

I got Red when it 1st came to the states. I'll never forget how I'd play it on my old grey brick gameboy for hours on end. ^-^ ah, memories.

You should get a Wii and get to enjoy Pokemon Battle Revolution, its a great game with stunningly good graphics. It brings your pokemon to 3D, vibrant life.

Anyway. I started playing when I was around 5 or 6. I got Yellow Version from my uncle who was only 13 at the time and played Red version avidly. He gave me Yellow so we could trade and battle. He owned me hard when we linked up to battle, his Alakazam was amazing. Those were the days. Then he bought me Gold version, I got myself Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Leaf Green, Fire Red, and Diamond. I'm going to get Platinum when it hits the US. I also have a lot of other pokemon games not out for handhelds.

 

[Haruki]

[True Reign]

My first was Pokemon Yellow, so probably when I was around six or seven.

My story is a little long but I hope you read it. Let me start by saying I'm 28 years old now,.... I was 18 years old when pokemon first came to the US. yeah I'm an older fan...

Before Pokemon came to the states,.. I had a gaming magazine..still have it actually,.. I think it was EGM. Anyways in their news article stuff in the beggining pages was an article saying. "Pokemon is coming to the US!"

and below the title had this exact pic below..

It basically started out as... Not heard of Pokemon? Well you will soon... Pokemon, the hit craze in Japan, is headed to the US! (or something very close to that.)


It talked about the game and anime a little bit then it was the end of the story report.



Then later it became worldwide news... pokemon caused seizures in Japan....

As it grew close pokemon mania was in it's early days... the anime was close to debuting in the US.. and I decided it was gonna be dumb and decided not to watch it..... I was at my Buddy James's house a week or say later.. and he asks,..."Hey man you watching pokemon?"

I was like..no,..why would I..it looks dumb. He was like..no man it's great,..it's almost on,..watch it..

So I said ok.... the first episode I ever saw was I beleive.. Mystery at the lighthouse....

After that.I WAS HOOKED! James then told me about the episodes i missed and what happened,... We then started to talk about the games and wanting to check them out, he had a clear green gameboy pocket,..so we went to toys r us, and went to look at the games. I thought it was interesting their where two versions of the game.. James bought red Version right there and then. on the ride back from toys r us,..he let me open it up and i looked through the booklet really quick then told me to put the game in and turn it on, when we got to a stop he glaced to watch the opening..it was neat,..the music was interesting,....oh that was a good memory.

We then went on to buy the little figurines, and when the card game came out a few months later..we got into that... Had so many good memories thanks to pokemon. and I'm glad James talked me into it.


Nowadays..almost 10 years later.. I'm still a big pokefanatic,.. James..kinda lost interest sometime a few years later after gold and silver came out.... I'd say around 2001 or so he lost it,.. but had a small revival when ruby and saphire came out..but it didn't last long. So now..I'm alone in my fandom..except for the other online here...


But yellow version was my first lol


*sniffs*
