Topic: First Pokémon game you played?

Pokémon Yellow. Me and my little sister both got Yellow before going on a summer holiday. We spend our summer training, battling and trading just to find out that you need Red/Blue to get them all. But I loved how Pikachu is following you around (although I rather see Bulbasaur) and how the Pokémon were cool. Not the craptastic Pokémon they have know. Everytime I see what they did to Magneton, Magmar, Electabuzz and Rhydon (just to name a few) in later evolutions, I die a little inside.

My first Pokemon game was platinum.

Red, with my sis having Blue.

My First was the original Red one with Charlizard on the cover. My friend bought blue so I bought red so we could get all the Pokemon.

crystal, which still by far is my fav pokemon rpg along with leaf green

Pokemon blue for the GBC.

Yellow. Surprisingly, it's the only one I haven't beaten either.

Pokemon Red, then nearly finished it a year later as Pokemon Yellow. Gave up on the series as it got to be tired crap with nothing new and way too much single shot canned leveling sucked the life out of it. I picked up Soul Silver a little after that came out, finding it a bit refreshing but I'm also not trying to catch more than I absolutely need and just swap when needed and being outright not serious makes it a better game.
