Your reaction when you first saw pokemon

[solaris knight]

To be honest, I can't remember. Best bet is it was probably my cousin that got me interested in it. Kind of got swept up in the phenomina and didn't learn to appreciate it properly till later.

The first time I saw something from Pokémon was in a commercial, when I was 6... It was Luigi, Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong & Pikachu walking on a meadow, when Mario and Luigi suddenly began to fight! O_____o... Then Pikachu was the only one I had never seen before, so I kept asking my brother "What's that? .___." .. He never anwered, though.. -__-.. I had to figure it out myself.. (Sorry, about my english..)

I thought It was the best show in the world
(I was 4)

 

[dutchmuffin77]

i liked pokemon right away after seeing the shows and i soon started playing the gameboy games.

My sister had the blue version, I was five, if she had one it must have been cool and I needed one.

"I want one of those!" was my first reaction.

Oh gosh... At first at the age of five I thought, "I don't care." Then I saw my friend go into a battle on his Pokemon Red against Lance, and I became addicted. I got a Gameboy and both Red and Blue. I then saw the show, and Pokemon became like a drug. I couldn't get enough of it.

I was visiting some friends (who happened to be Japanese) and showed me a show called Pokemon. When I left they let me borrow a tape that had the first episodes on it that they had recorded on TV.

Next thing I knew I was swamped in the cards, games, and was up every Saturday morning to watch the newest episode.

When I was little I watched pokemon anime, and the one that involves Ash saying goodbye to Butterfree... And I was crying. Those times were awesome... I miss them.

*sniffles*

My first pokemon merchandise was a big jigsaw puzzle. I saw Pikachu and Squirtle bending over some berries and I barely remembered that I said, "Why did not the turtle eat the mouse?" I was 4 then. When I first watch the anime, I saw Mewtwo. I said, "Wohoo! A purple cat?" WTH?

 

[inhisxeyes]

For me, it was something along the lines of "They're done in the same style as Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball! Cool!" And I promptly became obsessed.

When I first saw Pokémon, I got attached after watching the first episode and so on. No minute later I found myself collecting the cards, and wanting to get the video games [My first was Ruby, at the age of 10 xD]. Though, the minute I first saw it, and I saw Pikachu as a little boy I fell in a hole and couldn't get out. I liked it a lot, especially seeing as I also liked the shows Sailor Moon and a few others before it, like stated above.

i randomly picked up a pokemon game one day after everyone said that they were awsome os i bought one and i have been hooked on it ever since

 

[Ayano Hana]

To be honest, I don't remember my reaction when I first saw Pokemon. I guess it was "Wow, this is pretty interesting." or something along those lines.

 

[Ayselipera]

Well I was in Kindergarten when Pokemon first began.
I don't know what compelled me to watch the first episode
when I did but once I did I was hooked. It came on everyday
after school, so I would rush to the tv and watch it. :)

 

[Sola84]

I saw the first episode and was curious, it seemed pretty good and I had not seen anime before. Me and my brother was hooked from the beginning and although we weren't quite sure since it was odd, the story flowed nicely and I liked the electric mouse Ash had :D I think I was 10-12 years at the time.

Then the rest of the school caught on and the game came out and that's the only reason I got a gameboy colour. In fact I think it's still the only reason I have a DS now lol

I remember being in 5th grade, and getting a video tape in the mail with a Pokeball on it. I vaguely knew what Pocket Monsters was from my Japanese friends and their magazines, but didn't really draw the connection until later. I put the tape in and a very eccentric man proceeded to tell me how awesome Pokemon cards are and the games are taking the country by storm. I thought it was kind of stupid, but then I saw all my friends with the games and noticed I was the only one without a gameboy and Pokemon. I remember borrowing my friend's gameboy and blue version and staying home "sick" for 3 days not putting it down for anything.

 

[Stunky]

The first time I watched pokemon was the episode where pikachu fought sandshrew and lost. I was hooked. A week later I had a gameboy and pokemon yellow, and I've been hooked ever since.

 

[Gummy]

I don't know why, but the concept of a boy not too older than me traveling across the land and befriends monsters and humans was just appealing. Now that I look back, the concept was pretty stupid, but back then it was gold.

 

[Zeffy]

When i first saw Pokemon, I was in loved with the episodes.
The pokemon journey thing is very excitable.

 

[The Apprentice™]

When I first saw the show I thought it was cool at the time. When I got older I thought amazing. Now I think it's awesome =)
