My grandpa had gotten my brother a Gameboy Advance SP and Ruby (to share) for Christmas 2003. My brother played it most of the trip home and I complained to Mum and got to play for half an hour. I caught a Shroomish. A few days later my Dad got Red at a pawn shop so that became my game while my brother got to play Ruby. I was young enough to not really care that I was playing a much older game.

My brother had a prototype Gameboy and Pokemon Yellow. I've watched the anime before and thought it was really cool, and I always wanted to play Yellow because it had Pikachu in it. My brother didn't like sharing with me, so I only played Yellow at times when he wasn't around. I thought the game would be a pet simulator game where you would care for a Pikachu, so the first time I played it, I had no idea where to go and how battles worked. I was less retarded when I got my second Pokemon game though. But only a little less retarded

I remember buying a knockoff GameBoy during a school field trip sometime around 2003. It already had pre-installed games on it and one of them was pokemon red. I remember getting somehow stuck at seafoam islands.

I traded in Star Wars Ep 1 pod racing for Pokemon blue just before Pokemon blew up massively. My mum was fuming that I’d swapped an N64 game for a game boy game and confiscated it for 2 days.

I worked at gamestop for a year. The job was to tide me over, and even thought they wanted me to promote the stupid membership, I made it my mission to talk sense into moms for the kids' favor to get them the goods.

I played Yellow on my OG gameboy. I remember picking bulbasaur. My neighbors didn't play pokemon, and they stole my cards. Pokemon cards were banned at my school after some kids were trading/selling them like crack heads trading stolen watches for a rock.
I still have some of my cards in storage, and I still have my original Yellow cart. The battery still works for some reason.

My little bro got Yellow for its birthday. He was too young to understand any bit of it and wasn't interested in video games actually. Sometimes I don't understand my parents' choices.
Anyway, he needed me to read the dialogues and understand the mechanics, so we played together. He liked it but I was the one who fall in love with the franchise.
I got Silver some months after, I consider it to be my real first Pokemon game.

my sister and i are seperated by 7 years. if it was just a few years shorter, i think we could have participated in the same manie and have been a lot close.

I didn't know how the box worked and I took the "gotta catch em all" thing very literally and I filled my entire box with bellsprout and my starter and I could never switch them out until a while later.
