Your first Poke'Mon Card

[PokemonMaster]

Tell the story!

In 3rd grade my friend had these cards and were playing them against another kid. I went over and asked him about it and he said it was "Poke'Mon". I looked through his cards and thought they were neat. Then I asked if I could see the Diglett and he said, "I have a bunch of these, you can have one if you are gonna collect them." So there I was with a crappy Diglett and thought I was cool, but then I learned of all the other cards and such and then I got really into it!

i was in fourth grade and i had seen an onix and it looked weird to me at first,i thought what can that be so i went up to the kids and said,"what are these?",with much interest and they said Pok'emon,he said you can have this one if you want more buy them a target,and thats was my first card an onix.

The first one I got was the Base Set Starter Set.

I was at... Uhh... I Dont remember if it was Las Vegas or San Francisco, meh...
Anyways...
I was with my mom looking thru some stores, when I found out something related to Pok?mon (Guess what XD). They were the TCG Cards. Well, I bougth that Starter Deck for Two Players and started playing it, buying more cards, and etc...
But my REALLY first card was the 1st Movie Promo Pikachu >_>

 

[PokemonMaster]

LOL. Your stories are interesting.

I was in 1st grade. I remember people had them and my friend gave me a holographic base set Raichu for free. (base set had just come out.) I ended up trading it at the end of the day for a holographic Machamp (which is so easy to get, I was very dumb.) My first booster pack that I got had a holographic first edition Alakazam that was at the front of the pack. I love that card. I still have it.

 

[PokemonMaster]

I still have my Alakazam, he is my favorite. I wouldn't have guessed PKMN would be out way back then, in 1st grade? But I am 15 and in 9th grade, your a little bit younger then me, so that makes sense.

My first card was a sandshrew. I can't remember what set it was from.

 

[Star Crossed Dreamer]

My first card

I too bought the starter deck when it first came out. But my first card out of a pack (suprisingly enough) was a Base Set Charizard.

 

[Broleta]

well i bought a deck, i forget the name but it had a shiney lapras in it :)

 

[Rubberbandman]

My first Rare card was a Mewtwo from the base set.:)

The first timne I got a pack of cards was at Target. I had been playing the game boy game and thought they might be cool. I openend up the pack and got pokemon breeder as my first card. lots of time and money later, here i sit with it still in my hands.

 

[PokemonMaster]

Is Poke'Mon Breeder a Rare?

 

[Eliana]

Yeah. XD. well, it all started long long ago....XD back in the bad old days when pokemon was just becoming popular...in class our teacher gave out boxing cards....I wanted one. XD So I went to my grandfather and asked him to get me some. then a few weeks later, we meet them at the mall. hes like
"theres this new thing. its called Pokieman (lol), its supposed to be really cool" so I got a jungle pack. I remember my first card was bellsprout. I got 2 in the pack, and I got a Holo Pinsir...I got another one that day. XD Little did I know my fate in these cards....3 years later, I won the nationals in Israel, being the only girl and going to the world wide champiomships ^_^

 

[ravenstorture]

You won the nationals in Israel, Eli?! That's awesome. Congrats!^^

In 6th grade I got my first pack. It was a jungle pack that included Butterfree, Tauros, Meowth, a holographic Snorlax, and I forget what else.

 

[Marill909]

I was in third grade. Im in ninth now. I was playing my new red version and i thought it mite be cool to try out some of the cards. I went down to the local wal-mart and bought a booster pack with a venasaur on the front. The first card i got was a potion and when i got near the middle, there was a venasaur. I Began thinking that whichever pokemon is on the front is in the pack. After i bought another pack i found that not to be true.*~*

 

[sly_74]

lol, I probably would've thought that too.

 

[Scyther5]

I got a few at once, I was inthe second grade. My niabor had like ten and gave me a diglet(cool looking card). Later a week or two, we where on a indian guides campout(like boyscouts cept ungorganized and you dont do all that scout stuff). And some one showed me a gastley card(art like the diglet one) and a kadbra. So I thought they where cool, and bought some. My first holo was hitmonchan =D. And I've played the game ever since

PS-sorry probebly more than you wanted XD

 

[Zapchu]

I forgot what grade I was in or age for that matter. But I remember I purchased 2 packs of the Japanese base set booster and I was obsessed over the HOLO cards of Ditto and Zapdos. ^_^ I still have those cards in my binder and they are precious. I'm a collector, but I play the card game sometimes only. I like keeping my cards in mint condition. So after I purchased those two Japanese booster packs, I bought covers fer them right away.
