I got into Pokemon by watching the Anime. And when one of my brothers came back from a trip across the states,he bought me a pack of cards.

It was actually a piece of somewhat erroneous gossip in the September 1998 issue of Disney Adventures magazine. They printed a blurb about a new video game featuring "Pokémon, the Pocket Monster" ("He's yellow, he's fuzzy, and in Japan he's bigger than big!"). Perplexed, I investigated, and got my facts straight.

This kid brought in a Raticate Pokemon card to school, so I got a booster pack. Then I got lots of cards from decks.
I really got hooked when we got a sattelite and I watched Pokemon everyday for 2 hours after school. o_o What a life I had.

The video game. Well, I'd seen the commercial and this guy I knew was talking about it coming out and him buying it. So I guess it was both :/

Everybody at school was collecting and trading the cards, so I think that's where I first heard about it. Still, I thought it was stupid for quite some time, until one day I saw the show while flipping through channels, and curiosity got the best of me. I was pretty much hooked right after that.

My jr. high school had a bunch of pokegeeks get togther for battling at lunch. A friend insisted I pick up the game so I could join in.
I always lost. But I had a lot of fun.

My friend gave me a booster pack of the cards, got hooked on those, then got hooked on the show, then got hooked on the games. I've since given up all but the games, but it all started with the cards, for me at least.

Ready to lose???
A mix: on the same day Cartoon network aired the first season of pokemon (another channel had nearly finished the season) and also my friend visited me in which he was carrying with him pokemon red.

Randomly stumbled upon the anime with brother back in 1999 on a Saturday morning. Twas the one with Lt. Surge. Really liked Raichu in that episode. Pokemon epidemic hit school hard. And here I am today, the only one capable of naming any given Pokemon in the city, writing on forums named after a green pixie.

I got into it through the games. Yellow, to be exact. Owned by my cousin.
