Do you still remember your first time ever watching the Pokemon anime?

It was an early morning in the living room on the day of its official debut, I ate a large lemon poppyseed muffin and a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch.

Also fun fact the man Jason Paige who sang the original English Opening has done a Japanese rendition of the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIetiD0G6vQ

Yeah I remember. I passed out in the car during a drive home and my family stopped at blockbuster.
Being asleep, they just picked out a VHS of Pokemon that had a few of the beginning episodes on it for me.

Yes actually, my grandmother had gotten a VHS in the mail and gave it to me. I remember it was the Spearow attack episode and I thought it was shitty because I didn't like anime.

I only remember that it was in the summer of 1999, and I'm not even sure why it is I happened upon it. Maybe I was just curious. I quickly was fascinated by the ideas, but now I even question that, since the entire thing is so childish that I wonder how I saw anything in it at all.

In ~2001 they were playing the original series on cartoon network or boomerang, one episode per morning exactly when I woke up to go to school. I would sit at the coffee table and my dad would bring me cereal. Somehow, my timing was good enough to start from the pilot, and I fell in love with it.

My parents started buying me pokemon cards after that, and in 2004 they got me a GBA SP with Leafgreen, Ruby, and Pokemon Pinball and I was fucking stoked even though the DS was coming out

No, I would have been 30 by now if I did.
of course I do, it was the best thing to watch right before the school bus came for Elementary school. Man those 20 years went by fast

I stil remember my dad came home one night with the original Red and then later the BLue version. Oddly I dont remember asking for both, but knowing me I probably did.

I first caught the anime back when it aired on TV in 1998. After that I had my parents buy ALL the VHS tapes (of the Indigo League) and rewatched them dozens of times.

It was 20 years ago and I was only 7, but I specifically remember watching episode two. I remember they said "transporting Pokeballs" and "ready to receive Pokeballs" and my dubmass lil 7-year-old brain didn't know what the words "transporting" and "receive" meant.

My calculations say it was 25 September 2000. It was a chilly, Eastern-European afternoon in 2nd grade. I was watching TV as usual, winding down after school. All of sudden, this new anime I'd never seen before came on; it was the fourth episode, the one with the Samurai and his Pinsir. I've watched my fair share of different anime (Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, and some other random ones on RTL7) before, but this was a new quality. It was a few steps upward in quality compared to the 80s vibe I've seen before, and, to boot, it did not have that shitty, one-male-voice-for-all voiceover I was used to. I was completely enamored, and, within months, I was playing Pokemon Blue on my first, yellow Gameboy Color and getting my first English chops to which, 16 years later, I would owe my profession. Good times, man.

One of the small things I really liked about the early episodes were the pokeballs, and the sounds they made when expanding/minimising and opening up. Simple thing, but it was appealing.
