I had the Red version, played that thing all day and all night. I remember it took me ~1 year to get through a cave since I didn't have flash. Funnnnnn times...

You cant be serious.

I am, sadly. I was really little at the time, and I didn't know any better! That's my excuse :p

Diamond and LeafGreen were my first Pokémon games together, but I preferred the latter. I guess that doesn't count, though. Yet I still feel nostalgic when I play my Yellow version.

Sounds like me in Diamond. I couldn't find the 4th gym, actually I thought I'd already fought it, so when I realized where it was, my team was pretty strong. I was stuck for a few months at least, during which time I played my Kanto games.

My older siblings played gold and silver first, then red and blue. But I played blue first, since it was the first one.

I was 14 when the originals came out, so ya, I've been playing since day 1 and loving it still to this day. I still have every version made and I'll bounce between playing older ones and newer ones all the time. Always crazy to jump from 5gen to 1gen mechanics, makes you rethink a lot of strategies and re-look at some older Pokemon you normally wouldn't think to use.

I owned both red and blue when it came out, but I played red while my dad would play blue so we could trade the version exclusives. Actually playing through yellow right now even.

Pokemon Red was my first Pokemon game, shortly after followed Yellow. Then Silver and Crystal.
I now honor those by playing them. ;b I am currently playing Pokemon Yellow version on my GBC right now. And my silver... well I had to restart so once I beat Yellow I'll be starting on that.


boy oh boy, do I need to go out and buy a DS. haha.

I was six when this game came out, but I actually didn't find out about the games until a few weeks ago. I knew about the show and the cards, as well as Stadium and the picture taking one, but not the RPGs. Then I was playing Minecraft and found a Pokémob mod, and I was like, "I need me some Stadium." I found out about Red and Blue and Gold and all the others, and started with Red, as Charizard is my favorite. I remember getting a holo Charizard in the very first pack. Can you say AWESOME?!

Oh, my first video game was GoldenEye for the N64.
