Kids at school were trading cards. There were some who were into the games aswell. I bought some cards of a friend (a few common cards) and watched a few anime episodes.
I then bought a Gameboy Colour and Pokemon Red...
I've been a huge fan ever since.
 
I bought some cards...
Then my friends bought some cards....
Then we traded the cards...
And later we bought the games...

After i saw commercials when Pokémon was coming to our television. The battles and Pokémons enjoyed me. And a commercial from Pokémon Red & Blue was coming to the stores. The popularity raised in my elementary school with the TCG also.

I think when I was in Year 1 I first watched Pokemon on the TV show. I loved it very much and I absolutely loved Pikachu. Then my sister started liking it also and we used to play Pokemon with each other a lot and other things. Also at school, Pokemon was very popular, so me and my sister would have a lot of fun trading Pokemon at school, I liked Pokemon until Year 6. Then Pokemon was banned in Year 6 then I stopped playing with my sister then later Pokemon was aired back onto TV and I started liking it again. Then I started going on Pokemon Forums and things ^^

Heard about this new game. Sounded stupid IMO at the time but I decided to try it. Didn't really look back much after that although I don't play as often anymore.

At my Junior school I was pretty much the last to get into Pokémon. People were always RPing and trading cards. I decided I loved the animal like characters and then when I saw the GB games they were so magical. I spent years just watching others play them as well as borrowing my friend's GBC. After a while I finally got a GBC myself and Pokémon Yellow with it. Then my magic began.
