I started with leaf green because the original games were made the year I was born and babies can't play video games

Nope. Started with Blue.

Not me, but I was amazed by how many of my 20-something peers didn't get into the series until Gen 4. Explains a lot about this board, too, actually.

I started with Colosseum. It was my first rpg and I remember struggling because I barely read anything, thought speed affected attack power and evasion, gave my mons potions and pokeballs thinking they could use/throw them, and thought for a long time that whenever the game said "[Pokemon's] [stat] rose!", it was saying that the effect that played was supposed to be a kind of rose flower.
I got better by the time my brother and I got into the main series with Fire Red where the only mistakes we made where killing two birds because we didn't know what legendaries were, and over-leveling for the league for days because we had no idea how to get to Sabrina/Saffron even after somehow managing to get the last 3 badges.
Maybe if I didn't hate paragraphs as a kid, things would have started smoother.

hello meme-boy

I started with red (US). Missed out on the uglier sprites from green.

I was in elementary school when Pokemon first came to the US and I fondly remember watching the show with my siblings, but the first Pokemon game I owned was actually Pearl. I don't consider it my first one, though, because I never even got to the second gym. I did, however, play and complete White, and have gone back and completed the other games.

Just fucking stop man. Take off the nostalgia goggles.

I started with Red/Blue at 3-4 years old, have played every game since and have replayed all of them in the last 7 or so years.

Gen I and II were pretty shit overall, it's not a big deal, they were old as fuck, Game Freak was new as fuck, and the newer games have improved since, (very very slowly.)

the fact that you're so defensive that you need to respond to a meme post with that degree of seriousness just shows how underage you are

I'm going to begin with Sun and Moon. I have actually followed Pokemon since Red and Blue but never could actually play because consoles were expensive and my family was dirt poor for a while. Now I have a job and that means I can actually buy this shit for once.

I was obsessed with Pokemon since I was a little kid (especially kabutops) but the first time I was actually able to get a game of my very own was Black 2. I love Reuniclus so I traded for one and made it my best friend
