  • A machop, and a ground energy.

    kids today: what a ground energy?

    yeah no shiny things or whatever just a card with a weird stamp on it:").

    These days I don't even know the pokemon let alone the 1000 different positions let alone the 1000 different types (ex,shiny whatever) just plain cards with an pokemon in it that was genius.

    (although I only played the duelling thingy by computer)

  • A Pikachu from the first series of cards. o: I got given it randomly, and became the most popular kid on the playground for about 10 minutes, until I traded it for a Seel and a Growlithe. XD

    Oh man.. xD;

    I find it hard to believe that I actually remember my first card. Then again, I also remember my best friends first Pokemon card, because she got it in a pretty original way. o_O

    Mine was that MewTwo promo card that they gave you along with your ticket to the first Pokemon movie back in 1999. Yeah, I never bothered getting any of the cards until then. I still have that card, too.

    As for my friend, there were capsules with individual Pokemon cards in them in a claw machine at a mall. This was slightly before the first movie released.. and she managed to grab one of them. It turned out to only be a Poliwag, but she still thought it was awesome at the time. xD

    I'm pretty sure it was the card included with the first Pokemon movie, most likely Mewtwo I think.


    Yeah, I have a feeling it was Mewtwo, and even if the movie did not contain it I recall getting Mewtwo before I decided to get more cards.

    I bought a couple off a friend. In the set there was a charmelon for sure, that's all I know.

    I went on a like 5+ year hiatus from getting Pokemon cards, so now that I'm back I went to go buy a pack. First card I look at when I opened a pack was Mudkip T__T No Lie....

    My friend just had to tell me that I like mudkips

    The card that started it all. It was my favorite Pokemon as opposed to everyone loving Pikachu. Lots of love for this little one<3
