    My first Pokémon game was Pokémon Red. I got it when I was five for Christmas. The first time I played through I never knew how to catch Pokémon until I was in Vermillion, so at that point I had just a level 40 Charizard and something else. Coincidentally enough my Charmander evolved into Charmeleon after beating Brock and into Charizard after beating Misty so I had the belief that Pokémon evolved after beating gym leaders.

    I feel old.

    My first game was Pokemon Blue when I was eleven-years-old. I didn't know about version exclusives. I just picked Blue because I liked the color more than Red. Yet my first Pokemon was Charmander. But I was still happy because I could catch Meowth and Sandshrew while I wouldn't be able to in Red.

    I spent so many days playing that game on the giant gray GameBoy brick.

    pokemon stadium for the n64. They had a demo set up at a blockbuster that i went to alot, and I wound up getting hooked. Red version soon followed so I wouldnt need to rely on the rental pokemon.

    My first was Sapphire back when I was about 7/8. :p

    As I recall, I lost it before I got to Sootopolis to catch Kyogre. :p
    Oh, and I pretty much used my Swampert all the time.

    This seems to be a pattern, back when I was a kid, I seemed to not want to battle the final gym leader and thus was stuck with 7 badges. :p

    If you're talking about the side games, then it's Red Rescue Team. I LOVED IT. I was a charzard (Back then when i though it was cool.)

    If you're talking about the main games, it was emerald. I will be soon playing that game again on a DS phat.

    My first Pokémon game was Blue. I don't remember how old I was, but they hadn't been out for long. I'm happy to say that I still have my cartridge.

    My first Pokémon game was Yellow. I still remember the joy of coming home and beginning my journey. Little did I know it would be a lot longer than just catching those original 151.

    I still have my copy with the original save data. It's in my GBA sitting on my dresser. I think I may fire it up now.

    My first game was Red back in 1999, and I am quite proud to be a genuine, old-school veteran of the fandom. ;)

    New fans have it easy...I remember the time when if you wanted to trade and you didn't have a Pokemon-playing friend in reasonable travel distance, you were out of luck. Now you just put something on the Global Trade Station and all the work is done for you. :pirate:
