So what generation was the franchise on when you were 18 ?
>Gen VI
>inb4 Gen 7
gen VII
>>26821598
Gen V
Gen IV, Black and White were about to come out
>>26821598
Gen VI
>>26821598
Gen IV.
Platinum you fuggin baybays
>>26821598
Judging Gamefreak's release schedule I think it will be Gen VIII.
Are we going to have to have a debate on when a generation "begins"? You still don't even have a definition for generation, because you refuse to make one.
>>26821690
Gens begin the starting date of the game they come from dumbass, XY was released in 2013 which most of us were around 17 or 18 at that time.
>>26821598
Gen V. Few months after BW release.
Gen III.
Get off my lawn.
Diamond and pearl, kids
>>26821702
Then it doesn't matter what the answer is, as long as it's not a generation that doesn't exist.
Apparently Gen IV. HGSS. Damn I'm feeling old.
Gen V, got black version for my bday actually. Little over five years ago now.
V
Gen V
Just before SM was announced :^)
>>26821664
>>26821667
>>26821708
>>26821748
>>26821759
>>26821762
I was going to call you all under aged but then I remembered I was 18 when B&W were on the horizon
>>26821598
IV, which I never played until years later.
B/W was a few months away from release, and Cory in the House was rife.
IV
Gen III. Damn I'm surrounded by kiddos.
>>26821598
IV, i think i bought SS the week of my 17th birthday
Gen VI
2007? What gen was that best gen? Today is my birthday infact
Gen 3.
>>26821781
But Anon, someone can't be 18 and underaged at the same time
>>26821647
>>26821653
Nice inb4 m8
>Gen 4
I actually used the D/P calculator "app" for College Geology.
Gen III, you entitled millennial fucks.
>>26821598
Gen VI
Im younger than I thought, we were in the middle of Gen 5.
Just under a year since BW's release; well over a year and some months until B2W2.
gen 1 was still in development
XY released 12 days before my 18th birthday.but I was here before that
>>26822020We all were, anon.
Plenty of us posted as underageb&.
Gen V
>>26821598
Gen IV
>>26821598
Black&White just came out
Gen 1
>>26821598
Gen III
>>26822060
OOOOLD!
>>26821664
This
Gen V, here
>>26822060
Go to bed Grandpa
I was about to turn 18 when HGSS came out in Japan
so Gen IV
A month before HGSS came out.
>>26822060
That's impossible. At the very latest, you would be 16 on the original American release and 14 on the JP. Everyone knows you can't get into pokemon as a teenager by law. All perpetrators are shot on site.
Gen VI here, reminding you that the kids who got Pearl when they were 6 will be old enough to post in two years.
Technically Gen IV, I turned 18 a few months from BW release
I was 16 when XY released. Its scary how fast time flies.
Gen 5
>>26821781
So it seems many of us are in our early 20s. Big deal.
>>26821598
Gen 6, turned 18 just this year. But I've been on 4chan since like 11. I just never posted.
>>26822248
>But I've been on 4chan since like 11. I just never posted.
Yeah, right. Welcome newfriend.
Gen V as well, but I stopped carrying about pokemon after the release of Gen III, and didn't get back into it after gen VI was released. Looks like most of us are roughly in the same age group.
>>26822261
>implying he's a newfriend
>implying he didn't post since he was 11
>implying he's 18 right now
oy
Technically gen 4 since January b-day and B&W didn't come out in english until the following year.
>>26822261
Beleive it or not, it doesnt take back all that time I thought I was cool I was seeing all the edgy posts with bad words. Also doesnt take back how much fucked up shit I saw on /B/
Gen IIII still nut-it to May
>>26821598
Gen VI.
>>26822328We all do
>>26822328
>May
>Not superior Waifu Serena or Cynthia
This is what it feels to have shitty taste
1991 here, so it's gen 4. It blows my mind that we're moving towards remakes of what I still consider "new" Pokemon.
Can somebody please stop the hands of time?
Gen V
>>26822043
Average /vp/ age is 18, but there are plenty of Kanto fossils still rotting here. That means it has to be balanced out by based as fuck 15-16 year old Unova bros.
>>26821598
what came out in 2007?
>>26821598
Gen IV Pokemon Platinum
>>26821598
GenIV pre-PtHGSS
>>26821598
Gen 1
I need help
>>26822424
>based as fuck 15-16 year old Unova bros
I sincerely hope you are kidding
>>26821598
Gen III.
>>26821598
2
Gen. VI
>>26822424
>15-16 year old Unova bros.
MODS
>>26821598
Gen VI
Gen V, BW came out in Japan, but they were close to being release in America.
Gen II.
Got into pokemon as a teenager, a bunch of guys from my football team and I would play it after practice and freak out about how it was the future.
I turned 18 the day before it dropped in America.
>Most people here were 18 in Gen IV
>I was like 25
>I'm going to be 35 before I know it
There should be a rule that you're not allowed on this site after a certain age.
>>26822597I got Blue for my 13th birthday, anon. You're only as old as you feel.
>>26821598
gen VI...
>>26822597
>>26822611
>age is just a number
Gen 6, 95. Turned 21 a couple days ago.
Platinum was about to hit shelves when I was 18.
....fuck dude.
Turned 18 the same month Diamond and Pearl were released here, so Gen IV.
Idk m8. I'm 27, so?
>>26821598
Gen IV. It was the year of the western release of HGSS.
>>26822597
Agreed. If you are 13 and over, you are no longer allowed to play pokemon by law. The Nintendo police have been notified. They know where you are.
>>26823082
On second thought, that's way too generous. 10 at the most. No further.
>>26821598
>Gen VI
Well, technically BW2 released the year I turned 18.
I'm a baby.
Gen VI
>>26822597
>>26822611
okay grandpa
>>26821598
Gen 5s debut
Gen IV
Gen V came when I was either end of 19 or 20. All I know is that I worked extra to buy the games, and an Action Replay.
>>26821598
Gen IV, around platinum's release date
>>26823133
Actually since DP was coming out that year, I guess I was 18 for gen III
>>26823133
I'm confused. If you were 18 for Gen VI, how could you have ben 18 for Gen III?
>>26822424
Seriously, where's the ban?
>>26822401
I feel the same, feels like Gen IV just happened too recently, like 5 years have passed at the most.
>>26822424
MODS
turned 18 the december after platinum came out. The majority of you were 18 with BW and XY wtf? No wonder so many people on here complain about every thing.. they havent been playing since the very beginning.
III
>>26821598
I got Pokemon Black as a graduation/birthday gift
>>26821598
Gen 4
I was 17 when XY came out. Turned 18 that December.
Whatever was hot in 2012
Gen IV. Gen V started while I was 18
>>26821702
>most were 17 or 18
Speak for yourself
>>26821681
My nigga.
>>26823278
>they havent been playing since the very beginning.
Not true for me. It's possible for 6-7 year olds to have began with gen 1 and gen 2, so you can literally grow up with Pokemon.
I feel sorry for the really youngish kids who couldn't read until 8 and had to start with gen 3.
>>26821598
GenV. Birthday was a couple months before the release of ORAS.
It was towards the end of IV.
i first played yellow on my older brother's GBA sometime in the early 2000s.
then the kid we borrowed it from moved.
>>26821598
Gen IV. Turned 18 nearly a year before Platinum came out in Japan.
Gen V here.
Gen II. I am old.
GenIV.
Was 19 before Platinum hit.
>>26821781
>current year
>still shilling underaged Unovafriends meme
faggot
>>26821738
Same age, same feel
Turned 18 three months before B/W dropped in Japland, so I guess right at the end of Gen IV.
>>26821667
I turned 18 a little less than a month before gen v
Turned 18 in 2000; so, Gen II. Didn't play any Pokemon games until much later though.
>>26821598
If it wasn't VI at MOST you need to leave this board.
>>26825157
I'm impressed you can use a computer old man
I remember my grandpa had his wake on my 18th birthday and Black/White released only a few months before. During his last days he was crying in pain so my friend pulled me into my room and we distracted ourselves with Pokemon.
Funny how you remember shit like that.
>>2682184
Happy birthday
Gen IV
God has it really been that long....
>>26822354
I fap to a lot of Pokegirls.
It's the ones I don't that are most surprising.
>>26821598
I was 19 when diamond and pearl came out,but i still technically in gen 3
Pokemon Platinum
HGSS I think
It was right on the inbetween period of HGSS and black and white
Gen 3 (which was shit before FRLG came out).
Oldfag and proud.
>>26821598
Gen II.
>>26821598
V and VI, as I turned 18 in 2013 before XY released.
Still started with gen 1 and progressed up though.
>>26821598
VI. ORAS was several weeks away from release.
>>26821598
>Gen V
Crazy to think it's almost been 6 years since then
gen 4 - diamond and pearl
>>26821598
Gen IV
BW came out during my freshman spring semester.
>>26821598
Gen VI
