    My first Pokemon game was Pokemon Crystal version. At the age of seven I technically got it off my old neighbour who gave it to my elder brother but, he was playing Pokemon Yellow still so he let me "borrow" it, eventually I became addicted to it and kept it for myself. He didn't seem too bothered that I pitched his Pokemon Crystal Version, in fact I still have it now. He cared a lot, didn't he?

    My first game was Pokemon Blue, when I was about 8 or 9. Then I got red, then Yellow. When Gold and Silver came out, I bought SIlver first, then Gold a few weeks later.

    I skipped R/S, as the pokemon looked like something my little brother drew, picked up LG for nostalgia and then came back to Gen 4. I got pearl, and then HG, and SS. I let my girlfriend have my Pearl, so she could play with me (now she's obsessed, and also has my SS) So I got platinum. I recently went back and bought Saphire, though, I want to find emerald and can't find it in any stores.

    I still feel like gen 3 is the one where they were lacking in originality, but they're still fun. I enjoy the region, if not the story/pokemon within it. It's okay, as I pretty much exclusively use 1st and second gen pokemon only.

    My first was the Red version, which I got during Christmas of '98. That was I believe way back when I was in 3rd grade as well.

    Gosh it's been a while, I got Blue with my own allowance some time after. And the Christmas that Yellow came out I got that along with the GBC then as well. But that is sorta besides the point. XD

    Easter Gift? Wow. XD;

    Anyway, my first game was Gold (yeah started gen 2), but then went to Crystal and got R/B/Y, so I didn't miss out on gen 1 that much, since I was still young at that time, (though Gold/Crystal was better than playing gen 1 for the first time). --Ooh, just remembered when I played through and was facing Erika in my backyard, random. XD;

    My first ever was Silver. I remember I got stuck on Jasmine with my Pidgeot.. It was all I trained. A level 54 Pidgeot and that Lv. 22 Bayleef in the corner. Sadly, I lost that cartridge. I'd love to go back and play it sometime.

    First Pokémon game I ever played was Blue. I was 9 years old. It was the best experience ever and it pretty much changed my life forever. Sounds weird...but I'm on a Pokémon forum so I'm sure people will get it!^^

    Then, in order, these are the games I played:

    • Silver
    • Emerald
    • Diamond
    • Fire Red
    • Soul Silver

    I just bought Pokémon Red at a pawn shop the other day and I'm playing it old school in my Gameboy Color! Soooo excited!

    my first was silver. however, since my brother primarily played it because I was like "OH GOD WAT DO NAOW???" and he just did it.

    the first game I owned and played all on my lonesome is yellow and sapphire can also count, because I stole yellow from my brother, more or less. still play it. :D

    Yellow for me....watched the anime when it debuted on Kid's WB and got into it, then I played a demo of Yellow and was hooked....bought a Game Boy Color just to play it (since my old Game Boy had been stolen several years before).

    My first pokemon was Gold version. It was sooooo cool, and I played through the whole game around six or seven times. I remember playing on my Gameboy Colour and I must have been like 6 or seven or something and I remember thinking how completely awesome the graphics were LOL. I cant ever play that Gold again though because of how bad the graphics seem now. Ironic. My next game was Sapphire on my Gameboy SP then Emerald, then Diamond, then Platinum then HG and soon Black and White.

    The first Pokemon game that I played was Pokemon Yellow. Thinking back, I'm actually surprised that I was quite good at it, despite being 7 or 8. However, this wasn't technically my first game, as Yellow was my cousin's. The first game that I actually owned was Pokemon Gold.

    Pokemon Blue for me. Ah, the good old days, when there were only 150 Pokemon and you could get lvl 132 Venusaurs by talking to the Old Man.

    I've been a Pokemon fan since the very beginning. I embarked my journey with Blue version, and then proceeded onto the future games.

    I...Don't remember exactly, but I followed Pokemon from the beginning. If my memory's good, I think my first version was the Yellow one.
    I remember when I was playing that game while my dad was driving, I was totally into the Pokemon world, I wasn't even paying any attention to the outside as I usually do now.
