I mean, it's been something part of my life for nearly the entire time it has existed.
Remember hearing about the show from other kids and got curious. Saw the Squirtle Squad episode later that day and was hooked.
Didn't get to play the games until a bit later, but wound up playing Red near religiously. Would beat the e4, catch Mewtwo, then reset. Team was always nearly the same too.
Starter, Raticate, Raichu, Nidoking/Nidoqueen, Butterfree, Pidgeot. I have no idea why either, outside of Raichu being my favorite I never had an attachment to any of the rest. Played way too much Pokemon Snap and Stadium too.
Had Silver, didn't play it as much since I just never enjoyed it, same with Yellow just because I always wanted a Raichu and you can't exactly get one without trading there.
Like most, kinda phased out during gen 3 even if I did get to play them. Found gen 4, Plat specifically, pretty great. Gen 5 was fun, found my first ever shiny in Black (Audino). Gen 6 I struggled to finish, only gen I dropped my starter in. Gen 8 initially was avoided, but wound up enjoying it in the end. Absolutely love PLA. I own 3/4 of SM/USUM and haven't played any of them for some reason, I need to fix this
I dunno. I've got no specific memories of life about the series. It's just been a constant I've loved along with Mario and formally Final Fantasy.
