I am pretty sure this magazine was my first experience with Pokémon. I remember my friend having a Nintendo Power and it was talking about reviving the fossils on Cinnabar Island, so the fossil Pokémon were some of the first ones I ever saw.
Either later that day or the next day when I was at home I saw the last 5 minutes or so of an episode of Pokémon and from that point I was hooked.
That also means I was 4-6 months behind the ball on Pokémon since the magazine came out in December and I didn't get the game right away.
