I've been playing since Red.
I remember watching the first few episodes of the anime after hearing about the seizure incident, but ended up actually liking it.
A few weeks later, I was sitting in math class bored, and it occurred to me how much I liked the world and concept and wanted to take part in it, so when my next report card came my mom got me Red, the ONLY original GameBoy game I had brand new.
Even though the games arent as ambitious as I'd like, and the TV series feels like an extended exercise in disguising filler as content...
The optimism and lighthearted adventure of the Pokémon world in spite of their being challenges to overcome and evil to stop capture my spirit, especially with the heavy focus on bonding with Pokemon and other Trainers as friends and partners.
So the thought of that world and its creatures has been a little light in my heart as times have gotten increasingly rougher, and I imagine that if other worlds like the Pokémon world do exist, then ours must be at least as strange and wonderful as any other, so I'm driven to find the magic and wonder in my own world and appreciate this brief chance to experience as much of it as I can.
