ITT share your experiences from your first time playing Pokemon
I still remember permanently boxing my Mudkip because I figured that since it was the first thing I got it must be the worst and because May had the one with an advantage over it. Shedinja freaked me the fuck out at first but we eventually became eternal bros.
I actually reached the E4 with my team only being the 30 - 35 level range and spent months on end trying to defeat them.

Borrowed gold from a friend, picked up where he got stuck which was outside the first gym because we were dumb kids at the time. Didn't know what to do so I ended up power-leveling Cyndaquil into a Typhlosion before getting bored and resetting the game. Picked Totodile, actually read the dialogue instead of mashing A to get through it all, and ended up steam rolling the game with just Brotodile. I caught a bunch of shit but never ended up actually using any of it beyond maybe some HM slavery.

first time i played was pokemon red when that shit first came out. at the time i had seen the anime and me and my sister liked it but didn't even know there was a game.

anyway i picked a bulbasaur and died for the first time in rock tunnel because i ran out of pp on venusaur and hadn't leveled the 5 shitmons in my party. i started a new game and leveled a pidgey, geodude and mankey alongside my bulbasaur.

I remember in yellow I was upset that my pikachu couldn't thundershock brock's mon, even tho in the anime it could and the game manual itself said that "you had to level up your pikachu higher than the enemy to damage them!". Fucking liars.

I saved for months for a second hand copy of Pokemon Yellow and a beat up old gameboy.

The first gym? FUCKING BROCK. I had to beat brock to death with a psychic butterfree and an oddish. Pikachu was so angry at being KO'ed. Even worse that yellow rat wouldn't evolve. I was wanting to strangle the useless rodent.

And then I found out it's possible to teach Pikachu surf.

I became the bane of my neighbohood: the crazy kid with the surfing pikachu! Everyone thought I hacked it when I didn't. I traded it to coliseum, then to crystal. Surfing Raichu was my bro through senior year.

The cart is gone but the memories remain.

How did you get an Oddish before Brock?

On topic:
Yellow was my first game, got it when I was 3 or 4. I could read a little, but my comprehension was shit so I didn't know Giovanni would actually never open his Gym if I walked around in the routes long enough. I don't think I actually fought Brock until I was 5 and accidentally figured out I could go north.

Stuck in viridian because of that drunk dog faced old man blocking the way. Little did I know that I have to go to the mart to get oak's parcel (I was a kid back then, didn't know what a mart is)

Sadly I can't... I already tried. I found on Facebook someone with the same name and in the same country, and I sent him messages, but he never answered. I looked on google for more contact informations but I couldn't find any. And I'm not even sure he's the right person.

>permanently boxing my Mudkip
I always had my starter in my team partly because I thought you can't box your starter, cause it's your first partner.
Would be the same as when Ash would just give away his Pikachu.
