I knew Pokémon as I became 5 due to the animé through a local channel. A year after that, the animé stopped and so did my interest in Pokémon, although during that year, I had bought the Movie 2000 and was collecting some sort of unofficial Pokémon cards. By the 6th grade, five years later, a friend of mine reintroduced me to Pokémon by showing me Dialga and Palkia. As I discussed further with him, I got a GameBoy SP (not DS :S). I also bought Pokémon Fire Red, Ruby and Emerald. One year later and got a DS with Diamond. From that point, I started getting further interested, buying more games as they got released and signing up to forums.

I started getting into Pokemon sometime during Kindergarten. I had started watching the anime at first. I remember it was interesting seeing these weird creatures battling and evolving. I was always watching every episode from the Kanto and Johto era.
I remember finding a Silver cartridge on the floor at some store. It was just laying there and I was tempted to grab it. I brought it home and played it on the GBC and it was pure epicness. Then when Johto disappeared I lost interest. I would collect Pokemon cards occasionally, then they grew into a huge collection. I occasionally lost interest after I had nothing to do. Which is when I got interested into Yu-Gi-Oh One day in San Jose visiting family I saw the Hoenn episodes on tv. I had thought the series died. The episode I viewed was what brought me back into it. It was one when Ash was fighting Drake or one of the Hoenn Elites. I saw a bunch of new Pokemon and was amazed by them. Then I got Firered and Ruby for my birthday and started buying the other games. I got into Diamond sometime I had found Pokemon forums on the internet. When they were developing Gen IV I became a Bakugan fan and forgot about Pokemon. One day I was searching for a Bakugan forum and instead f9ound a Pokemon one. I then bought Diamond and HG/SS. So yeah. That's my story. |

Well, I always liked the franchise at '98 but in '99 I bought Yellow version, I continued to play it, it was fun and challenging. Honestly I thought that was the best game ever, but then Gen II came along and I liked Umbreon as my new favorite, been like that for years now, then Gen III came along, story wasn't so great but many new Pokémon appeared so that was a plus and I continued to go on, When Gen IV started I didn't immediately buy Diamond nor Pearl, but I got them for the following Christmas along with a DS Lite, and that story was pretty good, and I continued to play it, when HG/SS came out I was ecstatic about it, in fact it was the return of my favorite games ever (inb4trolls) and personally I played that the longest, when B/W was released in Japan I thought I should buy one of the two early and I did and I play my Black version for hours, when B/W was released in America I play White for hours as well, it had a near perfect mix of content ie. storyline, Pokémon, and mapping, I honestly I believe if my favorite Generation wasn't Gen II for just because of Umbreon, I would say that Gen V is my top favorite.
Honestly I've been playing for years, and I will continue to do so WAY after the franchise dies (if it dies) I honestly believe that these games were made for me, a somebody that just wants to have fun, not to have a huge overall strategy, but just fun. |
