Overlord
I'm 38 and will be 39 next month. Got into the franchise at 17 during the summer of 99.
Registered on the forum February 2010 and was 28 going on 29.
Very first exposure to the franchise barring commercials was the Sneak Peak VHS from Nintendo Power in 98 and due to said subscription got six magazines with gameplay tips for Red/Blue and a comic based on episodes of the anime (still shot photos rather than new artwork).
Another first thanks to the magazine was my first TGC card which was E3 Pikachu. First card I got with a theatrical release was the Ancient Mew card as even though my brother and I saw the first film in theaters they ran out of cards by the time we made it there.
First episode I caught while channel surfing on 2/12/99 was The Bridge Bike Gang. Not perfect memory, but I can give the date of this rerun cause I happen to catch a premiere of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy's second episode (Quasar Quest Part 2).
First home media bit I got was the VHS "The Great Race" with The Ninja Poké-Showdown to The Kangaskhan Kid. First premiere I went out of the way to catch was Princess VS Princess featuring the holiday exclusive to the Pokémon world and obviously not from a location in the real world whatsoever.
First game I played was Yellow. First Gen 3 game I played as I took a break from installments for a while was Fire Red and the first Gen 4 game I played was a library copy of Diamond.
Any that come to mind will just be edited in the post.
