It was the Christmas special with Jynx. My brother and I were hooked afterwards. People at school liked it too, and by the time my brother and friends lost interest, I was a true Pokemon fan. ^^

I was... five? Four? and in summer camp all the kids were collecting them. I got my first pack, and, well... it became very interesting. I followed it and collected the cards. By the time I convinced my parents to get my a gameboy, Pokemon Gold and Silver were out. I got Gold as my first game. :3

1/10 of the Total Forum Posts are MINE! >D Posts: 773 Group: Member Member #13 Joined: August 25, 2006	I learned about it from my friend at school when I was 5. That would have been around 2000. We'd "play", or RP pokemon, even though I didn't even really know what all the pokemon were. But now, that friend has finally lost interest, but I'm still a true pokemon fan. ^^

No one is something; they simply are. Posts: 198 Group: Member Member #19 Joined: August 26, 2006	I got introduced to it really late. I guess I knew a tiny bit about it, something vague like a random card game I'd never seen anyone play, until my brother got a GBA for his birthday along with Sapphire. I was never so amazed in my life. That's why Sapphire is my favorite game and always will be. It's what got me into Pokemon and video games in general. I pretty much stole my brother's game and played it all the time. I was bored, and he didn't play it because it was too complicated for him. <.< Yeah. He's the button-mashing type, and not that I'm against those games, it's just that it's hard for me to hit buttons really fast. Because they're on the right side of the controller. Yes, Noodles is a lefty, in a world where they only make righty controllers. But she rocks at steering in pretty much any game. And she's modest. shot So that is the amazing story of how I got immersed way late and knew more about the third Gen than I did the first and second combined. But now I'm pretty much as obsessed as anyone else I've met (or more), so you don't have to come in early to truly get addicted to something. But knowing what a Pikachu was would have helped before I got the game.

Later, we have bought Pok�mon Stadium 1 and were able to use Mewtwo (Well...To use a Mewtwo extracted from the Blue version. xD). Then, in the (southern) summer vacations, we have got two more versions as a present. We had to choose between Gold and Lugia. My brother instantly chose Silver. Later, we bought the Pok�mon Stadium 2, and learned advanced specs. But, as time passed, my brother got less hooked, but I have got more. He got himself a Sapphire, but one day he got sick of it (He couldn't beat the elite) and gave it to me. Well, the rest is very long, but we still play a computer game called NetBattle. There are two facts always defined when we play: I'll win, and he will start to ramble and say that I'm a cheater, just because he can't take tactics like FPuncher Breeloom/Aggron...Hehe, he is alwas rambling on how often I use Substitute...

Funny how the first game I played was the last I got. I got it really for memories.

Jr. Member Posts: 45 Group: Member Member #234 Joined: May 19, 2007	I was looking through cards that someone on my baseball team had (I was like... 6 or 7) and I liked them. Then I saw Pokemon on TV for the first time it had ever aired (I'm one of the few that saw the VERY first episode EVER aired WOOT X3) and I kept following it... then got Blue version... then itall expanded after that.

I remember Zapdos was my favourite Pokemon because it was an electric/flying type, and I knew that electric > flying. So, I thought it would be the ultimate aerial dogfighter, so I liked that one. Looked more into it, and that was that. =P
	Oh, him? Yeah, I know him. It's going to take a while. It happened years ago... ...did you know? There are three kinds of aces: Those who seek strength, those who live for pride, and those who can read the tide of battle. Those are the three. And him?...

just keep on laughing... Posts: 37 Group: Member Member #276 Joined: May 29, 2007	Ahhh, the memories. I was about four? Five? Six? Can't remember. My friend had these stacks of cards, all collected in a binder (it was a full binder), see, and we watched a Pokemon eppy together. (Man, he was three! >D) Ever since, I've been hooked. A year ago, though (2006), I about lost interest in the anime. I kept founding errors in the pokemon and the pokemon's attacks (such as Shadow Ball attacking a Zigzagoon! D<).

Pokemon Getto Da Ze! Posts: 78 Group: Member Member #87 Joined: February 14, 2007	Hmmm, let's see if I can remember.. I think I was about four or five, I was just coming out of my "Power Ranger Phase" (I use to carry a red bucket filled with power ranger toys all around lol!) I'm not sure how I stumbled upon it though.. It was either that I saw the tv show and then got Blue for Christmas, but I think it was like this: My parents saw that these were the hottest products for their kids. I had a game boy color and my sister had a gameboy, So our parents got my sister Red and me Blue. I remember my sister and I wondering how the hell we were supposed to capture them "Where are the pokeballs?" we kept saying. So If we knew what pokeballs were, I guess I watched the anime from the very beginning and followed the games and then my dad brought home the trading card game for us, My first holo was a Kangaskong! Since I got blue, I have always gotten the 2nd game and the 3rd game: Silver & Crystal, Sapphire & Emerald and Pearl & I'll be getting Berlitz. Although, I have every Pokemon game now... Some are even in japanese!
