What year did you first get into Pokémon, or if you can’t remember an exact year, how old were you?
I first got into Pokémon around 2000-2001. By this time, Gold/Silver/Crystal were out, and the heated craze that had initially started in the late 90s was calming down. I remember getting loads of Pokémon stuff for Christmas 2000, including a Psyduck backpack (which I still have, minus the straps), some CDs for my computer, and even a Pikachu plush backpack. The CDs were Project Studio Red and Blue Versions and the Zapdos and Elekid Poké-ROMs, which have now sadly been given away in a car boot sale. I got a Gameboy Colour not long after with Pokémon Yellow and Silver, and I continued playing Pokémon up until Ruby and Sapphire. (I got back into it later in 2013, when I bought myself Black and a Nintendo DS.)
