>>20588874I remember getting a gameboy and pokemon red for Christmas the year it came out. I remember seeing in a magazine some pictures of a game in Japan with 3D pokemon such as Gyarados. I found out only recently that it was some version of Pokemon Stadium which was never released in the US.
I also remember these cards. They weren't the battle cards though. They were more like pokedex entries, but I can't find any information on them.
I really don't know how I came to know about pokemon. It might have been that bus commercial.
This was when I was, like, five. It's really blurry.
