I had only played Pokemon Blue. As a kid, my parents wouldn't get me the newer generations, because I already had Pokemon, so eventually I fell out of the series.
After X and Y had been out for a few months, a friend talked me into trying them out, said that I'd love it. And the idea of discovering over 600 new Pokemon was exciting, so I picked up a copy.
Game was fun, about what I expected from a Pokemon experience. When I finished, my friend asked if I wanted to learn how to breed, and gave the the reasons why people did. Sure, sounds fun. So using my starter, he walks me through the breeding process with a 6iv ditto he sends me. Goes through natures, evs, ivs, the whole shebang.
After learning the ins and outs, he says I should pick the next one I'd like to make. Looking through a list of over 700 monsters, once I saw Weavile, I knew that this was the one I wanted. Didn't know it's type yet, it's movepool, or if it was even any good, but I fell in love and wanted one.
I still love the little bugger to this day.
