I've noticed there seems to be two waves of nostalgia for people. The game you played first, and the first game you experienced all the hype and online community discussion surrounding the release.

Obviously all of our first games were RBY, r-right? But what was the game that popped /vp/'s internet fandom cherry?

B/W. I kind of just ignored prerelease hype prior, I'd see the game had been announced and think 'cool' and then buy it a week or too after it came out when I remembered it existed.

But I've been shitposting and tricking anons during hype season ever since. Thanks /vp/.

D/P but I still don't have much nostalgia for it. Just a couple of fakes I still remember and if anything I was more hype for smash.

B/W got me going like crazy though, holy shit that was hype as all hell.

My first was Gold, then I played Yellow, then Ruby and Emerald.

D/P was my first "online hype game", because I didn't care much about researching upcoming games as a kid, but Emerald remains my favorite overall.

RSE was my first online one, moreso once emerald came out and we had a little forum spiralled off of gamefaqs of like 7 people nerding out strats for the frontier.

GS were the most hyped for me. I knew it was coming so saved up money through a lemonade stand and doing stuff for my grandparents. Silver was the first thing I ever bought with my own money.

Online hype was gen 5 for me. Kept up with all the leaks and stuff on serebii. I didn't start using 4chan until gen 5 was almost over though.

I started with Red, playing on the playground with friends and falling for stupid rumors worst was when I thought you made pokemon stronger by just repeatedly healing them in the pokecenter, and played Silver cause Lugia > HoOh, but my favorite gen was 3. I think that was when I really started learning about EVs and breeding and I got sucked into that hard.

For me it was the HGSS remakes. I've been buying and playing each generation, but I never really cared about anything after the elite 4. HGSS is when I started going on /vp/ and I learned about EVs and IVs and how theres actually a game after the elite 4. I went from putting like 50 hours into the game to hundreds,

I started with RBY back in the way before. Then I fell out of Pokemon around RSE/DPPT(?). It was only after I got a 3ds on a whim a gew months before X&Y came out I got all excited about online play and stuff. Kind of a late bloomer in a sense.

Your theory doesn't work, OP. I started Pokémon with the Red version, then played to Yellow, Silver, and Sapphire. Saphire is my favorite version, even though I wasn't in contact with the fandom when it was launched. In fact, I didn't even know the game existed until I saw it in a shop (yea, I was a poorly informed kid).

The point isn't about favorites. It's just that people tend to have two personal milestone games.

Your theory didn't work for me OP.
I started following pre-release updates on Serebii's mainpage for Pt and HGSS. But I was involved in a community until BW Sure it was hype as fuck but it didn't live up to my expectations. This left a sour taste in my mouth and BW is actually my most disliked games.

If anything it worked the opposite way for me.

Gen VI, I only really came to b/vp/ bright before the XY release, because my hone board (/tg/) was under
some shitty raid from another board.
I liked it because I knew the new game was coming, it was neat to see more about it. Before then, I really just went to Bulbapedia for info on in-game stuff. This Gen also got me into VGCs, because of how accessible it is.

My first was Blue followed by Silver.

I only got hyped for D/P since that was the first DS thing and a kind of a new experience.

I only really love Gold/Silver and Emerald.

I remember visiting serebii back in like 3rd or 4th grade and seeing rse updates
I was pretty hyped for Emerald

Crystal was my first personal game though, I remember going to my room under the lamp and starting it up, because it wasn't playable in the car. Good times

You shouldn't drink and post fa/tg/uy, you may accidentally summon an Elder God.

I hate hype, so that doesn't contribute to nostalgia. I love Gen I for the sense of awe but am not so nostalgic for it compared to Gen III, which was the first time I started working on my living pokedex so I have so many memories of sitting and working on that. Gen V has a lot of memories for me too becasue that was when I started to look at and care about competitive pokemon, so I have lots of memories breeding and battling with that.
