I was 10 when I first knew about Pokémon. The anime was gonna be aired in my country but I had no game boy. I loved the series and when I knew there was a videogame I begged and begged for a game boy to play it.
It didn't happened until years later that I got a GBA, to be honest I consider Gen 2 to be my starter gen, because I got sapphire along with the GBA and while it was good, later I got a copy of Pokémon Silver and enjoyed it even more I even completed the Pokédex.
(Also got a copy of Pokémon Yellow and my god it was horrifying... those pixels, the messy bag and the glitches... I can't say I enjoyed Gen 1 games)
Then, when Gen 4 came out I was 18 and i didn't knew if Pokémon was still for me, but it actuallly became my favorite gen.
