First Pokémon Product

[Cat333Pokémon]

What was the first Pokémon product you owned?

For me it was...I really don't remember.

[Yoshi648]

Product as in anything with the Pokemon logo on it? If that is the case then my first Pokemon Red and Blue cartridges. If not, then I think it was one of my small Charizard plushes.

[GreenLiquid]

For me, I think it was one of the activity books.

[isbragg]

If the games counted, it would be both Red and Blue, which I got at the same time. If the games don't count, i would have absolutely no clue.

[RageOfInnocence]

The first Pokemon collectibe I ever bought was a metal Pikachu keychain that I got at a rest stop in 1999 (actually, I think it may have been a necklace, I remember it came with a cord)....anyway, ten years later, it's still on my key ring! :25:

[Flare Soru]

Deck of cards...don't remember which one though

[RizuKomesu]

The first 'official' handbook that had them all listed by name and number was the first one for me. Which included Mew and Togepi in the book for some reason.

[Ditto616]

That would be... Uhh... It was either a Red Box video or Pokémon Blue version... Which I still own but can't find...

[Pokemon-Know-It-All]

It was pokemon red version if that doesn't count then i think it was some Pokemon Cards

[Serenade]

An electabuzz card.

After that I got crystal version.

[XmasterlinkxX]

hmm i gotta say pokemon red. my first trading card was mew. (bought online)

[Yoshizard]

My first was a "Brock's Vulpix" card. I got it trick-or-treating...
Yeah, someone was out of candy, so they were hand out Pokemon cards

[Cat333Pokémon]

That would probably be a good reason for playing the new costume trick (where you keep going to the same house with new costumes). "Oh man, a Caterpie..." *puts new costume one* "Yes! I got Blastoise!"

I remember someone doing that when I went trick-or-treating! (Happy Halloween!)
The fool was handing out some pretty rare cards (I got a Groudon ex! She didn't know a lot about Pokémon or cards!)

[GenericGirlName]

Technically the first pokemon product I owned was Pokemon Silver because I saw it when me and my mom were out and I begged her for it for like a half hour :3

But the first thing I EVER EVER had of pokemon was Pokemon Red, my dad got it from my cousin and gave it to my older sister. She played it but she didn't like it (She never saw the show and just didn't get it) But I was a HUGE fan.

I do remember having a Big pokemon Puzzle but I don't know when I got it. It could have been before the games since I got it from a store up the block from where I live, but it may not have been.

[celsosalo]

my first pokemon product was a pack of Pokemon cards ^^

[Kyll]

Mine was a booster pack of Jungle set TCG cards, and I got Ditto into the TCG.

[VincenDarkstar]

Hmm...I...don't remember! Pokemon yellow, I believe. I also got a pikachu plushie at one point, the original pokedex. I also had that pikachu pedometer thing that you could shake the hell out of it to cheat xD Those were the good days...

[E.P.T]

Pokemon Red and Blue....then gold and silver...then sapphire....Leaf green....Diamond platinum pearl...collicium...then Heart Gold waiting for the next gen.....

[Aries]

Pokemon Blue. XD
But besides games. It was the official Pokemon hand book from first gen. I looked through it like crazy when I was young. I was addicted to it. X3 I wish I still had it.

Does anyone know where I can buy another one online? T_T

[Neo Pikachu]

My very first Pokemon product was... *Drumroll - Hold Your Breath*

...a Pikachu plushie!

[Dilster3000]

It was a Pokemon Card from KFC or it was Poke Red.
I can't remember.

(And yes KFC promoted Pokemon Cards over 10 years ago)

[Magmaster12]

Probably the togepi plushy I got from Burger King since I hadn't gotten into the games when it came out.

[smartguy01]

My first Pokemon product would be Pokemon Red.
If games don't count, then it would either be a Squirtle bath toy, or a little Squirtle bank.

[TheRagingTyranitar]

My first product was a Pikachu pillow

[Shiny]

Mine was either a sticker book, they were awesome back then, or a pikachu pillow. I forgot though, it was one of those two.

[LiteTheIronMan]

A Pokemon Yellow combo pack with a yellow Game Boy Color, a Nintendo Power RBY strategy guide, Pokemon Yellow Version, and a bag with Pikachu on it.

Excluding game merchandise, my first product was the pilot VHS of the anime.

[OMGITSJAD]

Probably Pokémon Red Version. :3

[Amir]

I'm fairly certain that the first Pokémon product I owned was the Pokédex. I somehow was convinced to give it to my cousin after about a week though.

[Searinox]

A t-shirt with sugimori-style art, mirrored in the first versions of the pokemon TCG manual.

[Turtwig]

The first Pokemon product I got was Pokemon red.

[DashArmy]

A VHS tape with the johto episode when Ash catches his cyndaquil.

[PokeRemixStudio]

A spinning puzzle toy where you have to line up the evolution lines of 6 pokemon families. I got it from a friend.

The first product I bought was a Pokemon board game (forgot the name, I think it was Pokemon Master Quest).

[GrassPokemonFTW]

About 26 tapes of 3 episodes each of the original Pokemon series. I watched them all. X3

[Luxray13579]

A Pikachu card, then lots more cards, and then my Pikachu plush.... and my collection has grown a lot since then.

[EricThePelipper]

I was living in Germany for awhile as a toddler and was in love with it liek today, I think it was a sticker; the ice cream man had this special ice cream in the shape of Pokemon heads and bubblegum eyes and they came with tons of stickers promoting movie 1 I think it is. Then cards, games etc;

[Aquaguy34]

For me was the original Gold on gameboy color

[Lamp]

For my 5th birthday I got a gameboy color and Pokemon Blue. I got hooked!

[alternateshadow300]

A video cassette that contained 3 full episodes of season 1 AND a commercial. I think I still have it, but I'm not sure...

[RandyPanda]

That's easy for me to remember. I went through the Burger King drive-through, and got a kid's meal. Inside was one of those cheap Poke Balls that was recalled shortly afterwards, with a Golem spinny-top inside. I probably would still have it today with my rather large collection of Pokemon figures... but my friend's dog ate it. Which is scary, because that thing was big.

[PatJames]

If we're including games, then Pokemon Red. If not, then it was a poster of all 151 Pokemon on it. I lost it a few years back, which is a shame...

[Buoysel]

I got a Teal Gameboy Color and Pokemon Silver Version for Christmas in 2000. I remember playing that thing for hours and hours on end. I spent every dime I got my hands on on AA batteries. XD

[Masterge77]

Pokemon Gold no less

[.name//Technomancer]

The first piece of Pokemon memorabilia I ever touched was Pokemon Blue, the day it came out...

That was ever so long ago.

[Kirby-Chan]

The first pokemon pokemon product I owned was a Hoothoot plushie and I still have it. ^_^

DUDE!!! I remember those!!!

[Fubab_107]

My first was a charmander card. I remembered my cousin bought a pack of cards, He gave me one because I kept looking at them, either that or he already had to many charmanders.

[[TRDRS]PokeTrader]

Pokemon TCG Cards and Pokemon Sapphire

[JC]

game: Yellow
Other: I had a pokéball with charizard in it.

[GoldndSilver7]

If you could not guess a Ivysaur toy from KFC.

Yeah weird combo.

I might go look for that and take a picture for a rant or something

[_.-Mew]

Pokemon Red

[11Trident11]

I got a gold, yellow, blue, and red at the same time as my first pokemon products

[Quadcentruo]

Hmm... besides Pokemon Blue, I would say... a plastic Pikachu. I still own it to, I got it when I was... 6 or 7.

Too long ago.

[Pwesty]

A pack of cards.
Besides that... Maybe a Pikachu Plush.

[Pflanze]

If the games doesn't count... back when red/green/blue was out, I lived near a japanese immigrants neighborhood, so I bought a mini Ivysaur plush thing with a keyholder...thing. It's kinda strage, I like it. It's from 1998. I have it until now, his expression is priceless. I have always thought that it must be uncomfortable for ivy and venu to carry a parasitic plant on its back...

[PokeMaster]

Most of the first season on VHS. Still got 'em 8D

[McMasters]

pokemon yellow vesion

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I had gotten yellow version in the Gameboy Color pokemon pack that came with a blue/green gameboy color and a yellow pikachu carrying case for it (which I also still have).

Surprisingly Yellow's internal battery still works fine while Gold's died a few years ago

[GusFroggyBond]

Hummmmm. I think it was Pokemon ping ball. Lol my parents got it for me but i wanted Red version.
