Thread: How old are you, Pokémon Fans? (Once more from the top)

Born 1992, and I picked it up from my best friend from preschool who came over to my house when I was in second grade, playing Blue version. I previously thought Pokemon was completely stupid, but I only knew the basic ones. Jigglypuff, Caterpie, the starters, Pikachu... And then he let me play his game, he was in Viridian Forest, and he told me that Pikachu could be found there.

I was like, "omg omg omg" and ended up buying Blue version next week.
...Should've bought Red. But I was silly.

1989.

I feel like an old nerd ._.;;

1992, i'm glad to see how mature the forum is. I wonder how younger the group at SPPF are >.>

I'm only 13, but glad to see a forum that's more mature.

xD nevermind! you gave me a great deal of laugh it's even more funny because of the spoiler thing

funny mistake

Born 1989

Been a fan of the show since 1999, rediscovered it in late 2007, after taking a break from watching it briefly.

I'm 6! ;)

And the reason people in college are getting into Pokemon again is because RBY and even GSC are old enough to be retro now. The kids in college, we they grew up when Pokemon just started, and continued growing up with it.

'94 baby!

dont know when I got into Pokemon, but I was young. My BFF introduced me.

1975. Yes, I'm an old woman.

Got my first game in 2000 (I was 25) and was hooked from the start. And managed to get Prime hooked as well. I still think he holds that against me.

Geeze, lol, again? I was born in 1985
I'm an '85errrr, and I'm just starting to feel old because I've got a bunch of my friends getting married now (we're not the same age, but still).

My first game was Pokemon blue, and I remember learning a lot of the monsters from the Anime, and the commercial preview for it. I remember thinking Bulbasaur and Butterfree were the same pokemon (because of the commercial clip) until the show debuted. It's pretty funny actually, but bulbasaur with butterfly wings is not a bad idea.

I only knew some of the pokemon before then as well (Charizard, Scyther, Mewtwo, Blastoise, Venusaur, Meowth and Pikachu. Also, believe it or not, I didn't even know that Bulbasaur and Venusaur were related. That's pretty funny to me as well)

I'm 20, born in '88.

Yeah...

15, born 1993
Pokemon silver with a white Gameboy advance got me hooked.
I made some silly mistakes aswell. I went around saying Groundon for ages even called it that xD.
First lv:100 i had was Feraligt'r on silver athough aside Eevee and pikachu; Typhlosion was my fav starter
Umm i almost missed out on a shiny tentacool cause being colourblind and not knowng about them din't help but my friend said to catch it and i did.
Now i've pokeradared most available Shiny electrics and aside from plusle i can see the differences.
