Got into pokemon from getting a gameboy and pokemon silver as a present. Had already watched the anime by then and everybody was playing it around my house.

The trading card game, though I never played anyone at it. The anime sorta helped too. Didn’t play the games until I eventually got a DS and my junior high friends were obsessed with it, so I got SoulSilver for my birthday and I’ve been into every Pokémon game since.

my first pokemon game was pokemon sage. I had nothing to do hat faithful day, but I found out 4chan made their own pokemon fangame, which I thought was interesting since I was already browsing 4chins. I played the demo and got hooked since. my first real pokemon game was platinum on an emulator

Pokemon has just kind of always been apart of my life, kids always talked about it, it was always on TV, Pokemon Card trading was a huge deal in 1st/2nd grade, kinda hard not to get into it.
We were poor so I ended up getting a used GBA with a used copy of Yellow, so while Gen 3 was coming out I was just started with Gen 1 and played all the games in order.

The show would come on early in the morning and my kids and I would watch it and eat breakfast before I took them to school. When Yellow came out I bought Red for my daughter, Blue for my son, and Yellow for myself, with GameBoy Pockets for each of us. That's why Pikachu will always be my favorite. My kids don't play much any more but my grandkids are getting to that age, so fingers crossed.

I got into the series really late. It was right around Sophomore year in high school and my friends all liked Pokemon. I hadn't touched a Pokemon game up until my friends pressured me into getting Heart Gold around release. I did and it was great and I've never been able to escape Pokemon since.

Dragalge is my favorite, but there's too many cool Pokemon over the years.
Way back as a kid, I remember walking through the games department at Target. I saw the new Gameboy games which had a red dragon on one, and a turtle with cannons on another. Some time later I had surgery at a hospital, and while recovering my parents got me the Blue version.

IDK, I read about it in nintendo power in 5th grade, I liked all the designs and I jumped in.

I left Gen 3 though, it was lack luster compared to every other rpg out there, (even the monster ones) . Mystery dungeon was the icing on the cake though; another developer made a superior game with the same ip.

About a year later once the hype fell off came the next hardest 10years of my life, trying to hide how much I liked it. "Pokemon is soooo uncool and for kids and not us cool people hurr durr"
Until Go came out and now I feel like everything has come together perfectly.

The anime mostly and the kid of my dad’s friend telling me all about it. I think my brother let me play red or blue version when I was real little and it was new, but I didn’t actually play one of these games and remember it until I got Pearl Version back in ‘07? I was fuckin hooked and now I’m here.

I avoided Pokémon for a long time because none of the designs appealed to me, but once I saw Decidueye, it was love at first sight. I refuse to play any of the older Pokémon games because they don't feature this majestic owl.
