Im unsure when i got Pokemon Red, but i definitely know it was sometime before 2000, basically it was pretty large, Anime was seldom heard until Pokemon came along and Dragonball Z got its foot in the door.
UK here, all that i recall is that Cartoon Network had some sneak peek thing where some lame Skatoony guy would gab for like 2 mins and show stuff like the Courage The Cowardly Dog Chicken episode, the Mike, Lou and Og pilot (with the go-karts) and Dragonball Z.
On the other hand Anime got here from fox kids (Digimon, Flint the Time Detective, Samurai Pizza Cats, ect) and Sky One (Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon)
But yeah, basically
>Be 10 or so.
>Pools Money together, Brother gets red and Yellow, i got Red.
>Loads game to see the name LEE with a Charizard/Gengar on Bike Road, has no idea what im doing, resets.
>Wonders how to catch Pokemon, discovers that the Pokeballs shown before the battle was the status of the Pokemon, and not the amount of balls you have.
>Loses Red, discovers later in like 2005 that Brother swapped it for his Mate's sister's yellow....
>Old enough to get own cash, hides the other game in a generation from general family members, just to have a general breeder/nuzlocke/female protag file, 3rd version always male.
think i owned almost every main game except for blue, yellow, black, white2, and G/S/C, as far as imports go i have English/American Diamond, Japanese Pearl and the Slot machine-less PAL Platinum...
