When i was kindergarden and i guess 1st grade 1999-2001 thats when everyone loved pokemon but me my mom even asked "Why don't you like pokemon?"i would say "i don't know i just don't"then in 2nd grade i made friends with bugheart(in real life). One day i went to his house and i saw him on his GBC playing an odd game (i had gotten A GBA for x-mas) and I asked what game it was and he said "Pokemon gold" I watched him play and asked if i could make a game he said no becausen it would erase his. Being the stupid 2nd grader i was i kept begging him so finally he gave in :XD: we made a game with cindaquil then i'd play when i went to his house but he played half the game himself. He got stuck at the lake of rage he got stuck and because he could not get a surfing pokemon so i borrowed the gold (heh heh he hates me for that) I started with totodile my 1st ever pokemon and caught a sentret so i zoomed through that probably 3rd grade i got stuck without whirlpool bugheart had gotten ruby(and a GBA earlier) and got to the elite four before i got the game and got stuck. sometime that summer i got unstuck and restuck at the elite four(gold) then for my b-day I got ruby mudkip and I whipped that game fast and got stuck guess where elite four :XD: so I got a saphire and played it then my family moved and a girl(helping us move)(alot older then me) helped me beat both elite fours sometime around here i also started watching master quest show. then after ruby was defeated i had fun in golds kanto bugheart got pokemon pinball r/s so i got it to (this was the last pokemon game bugheart bought himself) so i got it 2

Ok theres mine post yours please

Well, I started when in 1999(or somethin' near that), I saw a Pokemon episode while searching channels. I decided to see what was going on, and the first episode was showing. I really liked it. I found out when it usually came on and kept watching it. On Christmas, I got a GBC and Pokemon Yellow: Special Piachu Edition. I played it LIKE CRAZY and got stuck where you need to get Surf. A year later, I got Crystal after watching Reruns of the show. I had a lot of good Pokemon, and someone stole Yellow. I wasn't sure who, but I DESTROYED a couch in the rampage(at that time I was a Gyarados). I found out where to get Surf because I saw it on Crystal. I felt so stupid, because on Yellow, before it was stolen, I had a Lv. 72 Primeape. My Crystal later got corrupted, and I had NO idea what to do except to throw it away. I still regret that. I found Pokemon Silver and bought it a year later, and learned the Cloning Trick. I had two Cyndaquils, Totodiles, and Chikoritas. A couple years later, I got GBA SP, Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. I beat those and bought Emerald the day it came out. In 2006, I bought MD and LOVED IT!! I waited for a year to find Pokemon Diamond and Pearl the first day out. I still continued to watch the Anime. I recently got Battle Revolution and am stuck between school, the Anime, and wwaiting for MD2. And that's my story.

Well...originally, it was all Jupe's fault. Jupe and I have been best friends for about as long as either of us can remember - at least since I was six and she was five. When Pokemon Red and Blue came out, she got Red version and a Gameboy Pocket and her brother got Blue for Christmas. Jupe got uber-obsessed, and I thought she'd gone insane. :sweatdrop: So every time I went over to her house, she always made me pretend I was a Pokemon with her. I was nine and she was eight at the time. Nothing wrong with playing pretend, mkay? This is sort of like playing pretend, so don't laugh. :sneaky: Anyway, I wasn't so sure what all the fuss was about at the time, but I played along because Jupe liked it. Then the show and the card game came to the US and I started to get into it just as Jupe was getting out of it. :sweatdrop: Her parents decided to ban her from playing Pokemon games, collecting the cards, watching the show, etc. because they decided she was getting too obsessed.

I didn't get to play all the way through a Pokemon game until a couple years later, though. As my family has never really had a lot of money to spare, I didn't really grow up with video games at first. Plus, I was always really bad at them. Just ask Jupe; she always won whenever we competed. :XD: But when I was in about...sixth grade, Jupe and I were at a church slumber party thing with one of Jupe's friends, who had a Gameboy (Color, I think) and Pokemon Blue version. I asked her if I could borrow it, and she said that I could. Technically, I temporarily traded her some Beanie Babies for it...not sure whether I ever got those back. Oh well. I played through a few times, I think, but finally ended up giving it back.

At some point in time, Jupe swore off video games entirely for some reason. (Don't ask.) She gave me her old Gameboy Pocket. Well, technically, she lent it to me at first. I borrowed Pokemon Red from a friend's brother in junior high, but I royally ticked him off by restarting. He had a level 100 Blastoise...I probably shouldn't have done that. :sweatdrop: Bad drawring. But Jupe decided to just give me the Gameboy Pocket, and then my dad got me Pokemon Gold for Christmas. Yay! I think that was 2001 or 2002...I was either twelve or thirteen. But the screen to the Gameboy Pocket imploded when I was thirteen. It was Open House night at school, and I was fighting the 1337 4, so when my dad said it was time to go, I left the Gameboy on the charger (which Jupe had given me as well - yay!) And when I came home, there was a black blob in the screen. Made me cry.

Dad got me my Gameboy Advance for my fourteenth birthday. I still have it. It's arctic white. Basic GBA. Screen's a bit scratched up, but it still works perfectly. I still have my old copy of Gold, too. It still holds a save file, even. The second game I actually bought was Blue, which is the first game I've managed to complete a Pokedex on. I bought it used a couple years back. My cousin David (who some of you might remember as dasmrh here) and his guardians got me used copies of Red, Yellow, and Silver for my birthday. I was very excited about the Silver one because, four hours into the game, I found a shiny. W00t. I bought Crystal about a year ago, also used, and a new copy of Fire Red ($20) a few months back. I finally got my first N64 and Pokemon Stadium in June...yay thrift stores! And I got a DS, Diamond, and Pearl on Friday. :D

...Yeah, sorry for boring all of you. I have some more interesting stories I might go into detail about later, like how half my family thought that Pokemon was from the devil or how I had creepy "internal stories" about Pokemon even back in elementary school. (Well...maybe the less that is said about the latter, the better. My mind can be severely messed up. x_x Something I'm sure Jupe or dasmrh could attest to.)

Oh, and I joined my first Pokemon RPG forum, UGT, over four years ago, on my fourteenth birthday. Man. I feel old now.

O_O;

Wow. My story is NOTHING compared to that.

WHen I was a little Alma in elementary school at Christmas, my Dad got me a Gameboy Color and Pokémon Silver. I played through it in the first day. I was THAT obsessed in one day. Then, I got Yellow, then Red and Blue at the same time, then Gold, a bit later Crystal, then Sapphire, then Ruby, then I sold RBYGC and kept Silver so I could buy Emerald myself. Then I got FireRed from a friend. Then I sold Ruby and Emerald and got Pearl and Diamond. So now I have SIlver, Sapphire, FireRed, Pearl, and Diamond.

Mines just simple o.O I got yellow for xmas, loved it so I got gold... and.. thats it xD;.

Well, it all started in 1999. While I was playing with miscellaneous toys (wow, it's hard to think of life before Pokémon when you're as addicted as I am!), this kid I knew came into my room and told me that a couple kids at our school were playing the Pokémon TCG and that she wanted me to visit their website. So I said, "Aww, do I HAVE to?!" (I must have really been into dinky cars at the time.) And he said, "Come on, check it out." He showed me the Pokémon TCG website, where I immediately got hooked, just like about a million other kids were doing at the time. We, in fact, had to look all over town to find even one measly Starter Set. Go figure. And that's where The First Wave began. I was buying EVERYTHING. Trading cards, board games, collectible pictures, marbles, figurines, backpacks, kiddy tattoos, kiddy activity books, Poké Ball replicas, novels, manga, etc. Everything except the obvious, that is. (Interesting fact: I idolized :weepinbell: at the time.) I was following the fad, which eventually died down. By 2002, I had either lost everything or given it away to our local thrift store. When I tried to learn the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG, I obviously choked. There were about a million pages of rules. I decided to go "fad-free" for a while. So, in 2004, we had to do a science fair project. This same kid, who had gotten to be a pretty tough guy, asked to be partners with me (the class genius) and I knew I'd be giving up my lunch money to him if I turned it down, so I said yes. We got together at my place, and it turns out he's brought over a video game, namely Pokémon Colosseum. A few weeks later, I asked for the game for my birthday, partially because of its spectacle of graphics & sound, and partially because I seemed to be crazy over the idea of beating 100 trainers. My main reason for buying Sapphire was to try to do one of those four-person battles on Colosseum which never actually work out, But it actually turned out to be a pretty good game. I subsequently received Leaf Green, Emerald and Diamond as gifts. Done.
