For some reason, I always hated it when it was a fad in my school (surprisingly, that fad didn't last that long). I was always sick of people talking about Pokemon all day. I hated it with a passion for some reason. Sometime later that year (which was about 10 years ago...wow), I saw my cousin playing Yellow. It looked interesting, so I asked if I could play it. Since then, I've been hooked on the games. I have absolutely no idea how I started watching the anime. The funny thing is, my cousin no longer likes Pokemon.
