This thread is for anyone who wants to share their very first pokemon game experience.

Here's mine:
-My dad bought me pokemon blue with a gameboy pocket when I was god knows how young. It was late in 5th grade.
-My starter was Bulbasaur, which I proceeded to whip brock and misty with. Infact, I didn't even catch anything else unless I needed HM slaves.
-My Venasaur got as high as level 73, and I brutally beat down my neighbor's all fire-type team in his pokemon yellow.
-My neighbor, with his yellow, and my buddy, with his red version helped me complete my pokedex. All 3 of us did all 150 on the same day.
-I never legitimately caught the kangaskhan that completed our pokedex's. I evolved an M 'block glitch with a rare candy.
-I beat the elite 4 using pokemon leveled up to 100 using the rare candy trick. My hall of fame never stood a chance.
-I caught and rare candied a glitch snorlax to level 255.
-Once gameshark came into my life, my team was always Raichu, Mew, Mewtwo, Blastoise, Venusaur, and Charizard.
-Pokemon silver came out, and I power leveled totodile the same way I power leveled bulbasaur. That is, until I had the time capsule. The rest of my silver version didn't have a chance as my semi-disobedient mewtwo ran rampant through johto.. I eventually got to red and wiped the floor with him.

Years later-
Downloaded an emulator and silver version on my smart phone. Beat it without hacks or trades, even beating red. Epic win for me.
I played pokemon ruby. Twice. Played emerald once. Didn't have the patience to finish the game, ever. I was utterly disappointed with the 3rd generation of pokemon. Don't think I'll ever beat it.
Never touched G4 or G5. Seen videos. Calling a blue thing on a floating cloud a legendary really killed it for me, so I'm probably not getting an DS anytime soon.
