Where did you Start?

[Palamon]

What Pokemon game did you start with?

 

[Mab]

LeafGreen! That was like one of the first video games I'd ever played too so it basically changed my life

 

[XNaut]

Pokemon Blue

 

[Child Amnesiac]

Soul Silver

I still get nostalgic over Johto's music.

 

[MargatroidCA]

Fire Red was technically my first, though I don't remember it nearly as much as I do Diamond/Pearl.

 

[Sydian]

technically yellow, but i didn't get past brock and then lost my cartridge. i played the stadium games, snap, and puzzle league a lot, though. and then my first real dive into the main series was sapphire.

Pokémon Platinum :))) It gave me SUCH a hard time back then, but I learned a lot with it! I remember my beloved Empoleon, then only Pokémon I used through all the game xD Classic newbie mistake.
I want to replay this game so much, but I lost my cartridge :c

 

[Percy]

i started with firered. fun game. funny story, i didn't know how to level up my other pokemon nor do i have the patience to do so hehe. i went to the elite four with a blastoise only. gary's venusaur was a pain, i tell you.

 

[Brendino]

The first game that I played was Yellow, though it was my cousin's copy that I just borrowed for a bit. A pre-owned copy of Gold was the first game that I owned, and Sapphire was the first brand-new game that I had.

Silver is the game I technically played first. It was my brother's copy though, so I wasn't allowed to play it often, but I'm counting it, anyway.

 

[Sheep]

Blue! Then got Red later for Christmas. Ahhh good times.

 

[lilaë21]

Gold, together with a GBA for Christmas 2001. It wasn't my first ever game but still my first Nintendo game, and surely it is one of the games I'm most nostalgic for.

 

[Nekodatta]

Pokemon Red, still have my cartridge and I should still have the box and instruction booklet... I remember loving reading it over and over for some reason.

 

[thedestinedblade]

Pokemon Red all the way back in 1998. Begged my mom for it because my friend's older brother wouldn't share.

Hard to believe it's been over 20 years now.

 

[Jbsundown]

Pokémon Crystal!

My cousin was living with my grandparents and I went to visit them one day and saw he had a game that was about pokémon. I watched a show on TV that was called pokémon, so it must be pretty cool! So I played it a bit on his Game Boy, picking Cyndaquil. I then remember asking my parents for a Game Boy for my birthday which I would then take to their house and I remember asking my cousin to borrow his pokémon game which he said I could keep as he never played it.

It's kind of a bit hazy as this was a long time ago when I was very young but it roughly went like that!

 

[Firox]

first game I ever played was Fire Red, only for a short time, maybe a month or so, then somehow the game got lost when I moved homes.

Didn't play any other Pokemon game until I bought Black 2 with my own money, I started buying some older generation games to 'catch up' a bit... I have a different copy of Fire Red

 

[LusoTrainer]

Pokémon Red, back in 1999.

 

[pkmin3033]

I started with Pokemon Red, which I believe I got for my birthday that year...that was an exciting birthday. God I miss being that young.

 

[Caite]

I got Pokemon Red as my first game and then got Blue and Yellow.

 

[ElBurrito]

Started with Yellow. Didn't actually own a Pokémon game until I got a GBA and Silver for my birthday when I was 8 or 9, but for years before that I would always borrow my step-aunt's GBC and her copy of Yellow. I can't count how many times I had to start the game over before I finally convinced her to let me keep the game long enough to beat the elite four.
