Your 1st Generation of Pokemon

What was your first generation of Pokemon?

Mine was Gen III. I got both Emerald and FireRed for my birthday and didn't know which to start with. Got through them both and the games have stuck with me since.

StealthX · Jul 18th, 2011, 12:12:24 AM

III

Got LeafGreen as my first game. (LeafGreen->Emerald->Platinum->Heartgold->Black)

generation 1, though by the time i started playing RSE was already out.

yee · Jul 18th, 2011, 12:23:35 AM

Been playing ever since the start, I remember the first time I played Blue I could not understand that I was in a house and it took like 10 minutes for me to get out.

gen1 got blue version and my first gameboy, a blue gamboy pocket, on christmas way back when. best. christmas. ever.

Suspicious Derivative · Jul 24th, 2011, 6:22:43 PM

1st gen.
Can't rememeber how old I were but it was long ago. Though I started playing when 2nd generation had been released.

Parasol_Kirby · Jul 24th, 2011, 6:36:19 PM

FireRed.
Not a bad start, considering it was a remake of the first games, though I did miss out on all the glitches. Oh well, I certainly didn't miss out on GARY OAK

Firered, I got a GBA for my birthday with the Ereader and all that. Shortly after, my mom noticed that I didn't really use the gamebody very often in the first week and returned it
-_-

First game I ever owned and played was 4th gen (pearl) which I got in the summer. good times.

First game I ever played was a cousin's sapphire, though.

humpy92 · Jul 27th, 2011, 11:21:23 PM

Started playing a long time ago on red, think i still have it somewhere, they were indeed good days :)

zero2exe · Jul 28th, 2011, 6:11:39 PM

1st gen, blue version

The Shadow Knight · Jul 28th, 2011, 6:23:28 PM

Gen I, English Blue version.
Which was back when I hardly had a working English vocabulary =D

Tyranitarphantom · Jul 28th, 2011, 6:31:22 PM

My first game was Sapphire, so technically Gen III. I always used to play RBY and GSC with my friend's carts, though, so I've been playing since gen I

Aether Nexus · Jul 28th, 2011, 7:14:44 PM

I don't remember which version I started with, but it was first generation. I was I believe 8, and I racked up tons of hours playing both Blue and Red versions with my childhood friend. It could have been Red version because I still own my Red version. I believe I have Blue version, too, but it's buried somewhere in my garage. I remember buying Yellow version (well, my parents buying lol) from FuncoLand (the name/place before GameStop) for $20 and still have it (unfortunately the save file gets wiped out each time I play, so the battery or w/e died I guess).

I skipped gen 2, so that's why I'm not really crazy about gen 2 stuff, nor was I about HG/SS (but I still bought each one). I started again in gen 3 when playing my friends Sapphire version. I went out, bought Ruby version, then Emerald. I then bought FireRed when it came out and my friend gave me his Sapphire version as well as his Gold and Cyrstal versions for keeps.

Then after all that, I learned about in-game mechanics as well as competitive battling in gen 4 (and about older generation mechanics/battling). Not much into gen 5 right now, but I'm sure I'll jump into it eventually (or not; this might be where my Pokemon fun ends and might jump start again generations later like how gen 3 sparked it for me).

Galladiator · Jul 28th, 2011, 7:27:27 PM

Gen III for me. I was such a noob back then that I couldn't tell the difference between FireRed (the game that convinced me to start playing Pokemon in the first place) and Ruby (the game I went to GameStop and bought a few days later).

Walrein · Jul 28th, 2011, 7:50:27 PM

Mine was the original blue version. I was like 5 when I first played it, and as such I had it in my head that EVERY pokemon evolved at some point. Thus, I would train a pokemon until it evolved, then ditch it and work on another one. My final party included a level 70-something Farfetch'd XD

Teh_Mysterious_Egg · Jul 28th, 2011, 10:23:06 PM

I bought like, five different games of varying generations, so I guess I kind of qualify for Gen 1 being my entry point, but it was technically in the early days of RS.

Kuroki · Jul 29th, 2011, 5:15:12 AM

i started with pokemon yellow, it was also my first (and best) game for game boy.

Toby · Jul 30th, 2011, 9:21:41 AM

Pokemon Red + a gameboy when it first came out in the UK. I was nervous before I started to play it: i somehow knew this would be a pivotal thing in the makeup of my life and the person I would grow up to become. I was a very philosophical child.

NatGeo · Aug 2nd, 2011, 10:11:59 PM

Ruby was my very first game, got it to kill time in the car when we were moving when i was 6. Took my mom to set up the clock. I've played every gen since that except for RBY

crazypippo92 · Aug 2nd, 2011, 10:26:59 PM

My first was with pkmn Blue (couldnt find red, i were like 5 so i loved charizard on the cartridge) Loved that game, and Loved all the series that came out of that.

sworm09 · Aug 2nd, 2011, 10:51:43 PM

Blue version was my first! I'll never forget getting lost on the S.S. Anne

Shiki1335 · Aug 2nd, 2011, 11:29:45 PM

I gues I started playing Pokemon after a accident when me and my sis was little been playing ever since (I think yellow or blue was my first.) I traded up my chariard every generation I could lol.

redhairedking · Nov 12th, 2011, 9:04:44 PM

Sorry to revive an old thread, but my first was Red version.

Yamata no Orochi · Nov 16th, 2011, 5:24:36 PM

My first game I ever played was Yellow Version.
