Which Generation did you start playing first?

[Ghostie]

I started at I! I played Yellow first because I couldn't afford to get a GBC until it came out. I was so excited to have Pikachu following me though! I still remember the sheer exhilaration I felt when I watched that video, and at the end I got to hear Pikachu say its name.

And then...the little guy hated me!

I started playing Pokemon back in the first generation, mostly with spin offs like Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Stadium, however, my first main Pokemon game was Pokemon Crystal.

 

[The Pokemon Broadcast]

Even though i've basically been into the franchise since Gen. 1 (I was off of it from the middle of Johto until about halfway through DP) I didn't start actually playing the games with some actual understanding of the mechanics until generation 4. My first game I bought was SoulSilver.

When I first really got into playing the games the first game I actually played for a bit was Ruby, I think.

Does Leafgreen count as Gen 1? It is just a remake of the original. Or is it Gen 2?

 

[オバマ大統領のイラス]

gen 2 ftw good old times

Pokémon red!! I was so happy with my Bulbasaur, when he pwnd Brock I wondered why he was considered a good trainer

 

[Aegon]

I started with Generation III, with LeafGreen. I still love it, as I have a fondness for the Gen III music. This brings back such memories, I was slightly annoyed when the HGSS Kanto Gym Leader didn't sound like the FRLG one.

Someone gave me a red version & i started with that & played every "version" since then.

 

[joshsauce]

Third version. God, how I loved my sapphire. If only I knew where I put it…

 

[Nutter t.KK]

I've been playing since the games were released in the US..

I got the game a little later... At one point I had just about every Pokémon game out.

Generation 3! Ruby!

Sadly, IMO gen 3 graphics were terrible. I liked generation 2 graphics better.

I WANT A RE-MAKE OF MY STARTER REGION

 

[crystalzapdos]

I got FireRed for my birthday one year. I still remember my team:

Charzard LV86
Graveler LV27
Pidgey LV9
Beedrill LV11
Butterfree LV15
Zubat LV12

I was such a noob back then.

 

[FunkyGyarados]

I started playing Yellow and Blue back when Pokemon was cool in the US. Back in the start. I can't recall how old I was, but it was a while ago!

 

[OPTICS]

G1, Pokemon Blue, Day 1 of US release. Bought it at Toys R Us. Still have it to this day. With Plastic still on and in perfect condition.

Don't know why I opened it from the bottom though:

[garchomp osfp]

i started playing the gold version (generation 2) and i played yellow later (generation 1) for me gold was one of the best games!!! :-D

 

[CaptainCombusken]

Gen three (Red and Sapphire), then branched out and Played Red, Blue, Yellow and Crystal.

 

[AZX612]

Well, I started playing in (Early) Generation 3, but it was Christmas and my Parents had gotten me Fire Red and Sapphire, so I didnt miss out much on Kanto. I later obtained Gold from an older cousing which is when I found out about Johto.

 

[AzaleaSilver]

I got Yellow and Silver for Christmas with a GBC when I was a kid. So I really grew up as a Gen 2 kid because Silver was my favorite. The only pokemon (Typhlosion) that I ever got to level 100 without cheating was on that game! I loved it.

 

[bones090]

Generation 1 Pokemon Red. I played Green before that but, being in Japanese, it was difficult to understand.
