My brother was a very loud, angry and violent child. He saw an advert for Pokémon Red & Blue in The Beano and shouted at my parents, threatened to never talk to them again, threatened to beat me up etc. if they didn't buy them for him. So they went to Toys 'R Us and bought him Red

He didn't let me play on it, so the next week they went to buy one for me, and I got Blue.
He got upset at how unfair it was that he didn't have Blue, so they bought Blue for him as well
So he ended up with two games for some reason

My parents probably should have disciplined him more.

my sister picked up leafgreen one day and let me play it a bit. i decided i wanted my own pokemon game so we went to the local game shop.

i was supposed to get firered so my sister and i could do shit together. but i was a selfish brat, and i thought groudon was the shit so i got ruby instead.

my recently passed away older brother got me into the anime when it first showed on FOX!kids back when i was in elementary school then a week later my Dad came home with one starter deck it was the Overgrowth one and one booster pack i know its not much but we where pretty poor but still had enough to put food on the table i got home early and my dad was splitting the cards up for us kids there was 5 of us 2 girls 3 boys my but my sisters didn't like the cards & my little brother was too young for them so i got them, but my older brother got the rares because he was older, i didn't mind.

>>32536351
Damned if I know. I think one of my siblings found it somewhere in the grass. Now that I think about it, they might've stolen it and lied about it.

Stop posting here. Stop playing pokemon. Just... stop.
You have nothing to gain here while we have a lot to lose if you remain. Do us all a favor.
I don't hate you, we are just incompatible. Now close the tab and swear to never open this board again. I'm sure you can find much better ways to emply your time. Reading, playing sports, getting fit, talking to girls, learning a trade, the possibilities are limitless. Now go, champ, make us proud. And never look back. Please.

I could still tell you when I got my first of each of the holo cards for the first time. It was a big deal when you were 9/10.

That friend who introduced me to Pokemon ended up fracturing his leg about a month later in one of those "boys vs girls" romps on the playground, so his dad bought him a booster box of Base Set. It was shadowless, which didn't mean anything to us at the time...if only we knew then what we knew now.

First time i got introduced to Pokemon was when i was at my friends birthday party (7 years old). He had gotten some strange cards (Pokemon cards) that i didnt know anything about. At that party he gave me a free Poliwag card - and thats where it all started. A while later i got introduced by the same friend to Pokemon Blue for Gameboy. He let me try out the game while going outside to buy some snack. I didnt know anything about the game, so i was stupid enough to catch a Ponyta in a Masterball. Naturally he got abit mad at me since he hadnt saved his file for hours. But we laugh at it when we bring up the story today. Later i wanted to buy Pokemon Red myself so we could trade the version exclusive Pokemon with each other. But my parents didnt want me to buy it since they said i had enough games already (typical parents i guess at that age). But as the stubborn child i was i had some extra savings for a situation like this. So i took the buss alone for the first time to the big city and bought the game myself. I wanted it sooo badly back then. Surprisingly enough my parents didnt get mad at me when they found out about it. I think they got more surprised by all the effort i took just to get a single gameboy game.
