I remember a friend of mine telling me that I "had to get this amazing game that is huge in Japan." I wasn't much into RPG at the time but the way my friend was talking about it I simply had to have it. I remember going to Sears to get a Gameboy and Pokémon Blue because by friend had Pokémon Red. The moment I started up the game I was blown away. There were these little characters on the screen jumping around fighting and there was music that went along with the fighting. Then I saw it. "Pokémon Blue Version" Squirtle was my first Pokémon that I picked because the evolved version was on the cartridge so I figured why not. The hours I spent playing that game. For the longest time It was the only game I had or needed. I eventually had to use the wall to put my head against because I was tilting my head forward to look down at the screen for hours upon hours. I'd go over to my friend's house and we would battle and trade Pokémon and give each other tips and tricks to defeat gym leaders or get through caves. Pokémon Is still one of my favorite series and now I get to share it with my niece by playing it on the Switch. Running around fighting gym leaders. Learning what types defeat other types. Petting the Pokémon and giving them treats. Taking them out of the pokéball and riding around on them or just letting them follow you around. Sure I can only remember the first 151 Pokémon but there are so many it is amazing how they keep coming up with new ones.

Your kids will probably grow tired of it considering how repetitive and boring the newer games are, you’re kids would probably find themselves enjoying generation 3,4 and 5 way more then any of the latest garbage Pokémon pumps out. But obviously if there first game is one of the newer games then you’re just going to be accustoming them and getting them used to literal garbage which is never a good thing, they need to be able to distinguish garbage from quality so there best bet is to start in generation 4 through Pokémon platinum, or heartgold and Soulsilver, or Pokémon emerald.

HOWEVER, when I learnt that there are Pikachus IRL animals, I was an adult already, so I bought my first Chinchilla which you can see in my profile pic.

We spent hours on the game, doing things like using rare candy cheats on Cinnabar Island or trying to catch 'missingno.' It was a time when everyone had their cool Pokémon team. In school, we had secret groups for trading Pokémon cards. I still remember my first Pokémon memory when my aunt gave me three gold spinning coins. It was a game where you spun the coins to do attacks, right when Pokémon was first released. Pokémon was more than just a personal joy; it was a social thing too. It brought people together, and you could immediately connect with others who loved it.

Pokemon had my mind blown but maybe in a different way. When I was younger I got into it starting at 5 years, back in 1999. I don't think any other game hooked me as much as it did for a very long time and only Warcraft 3, League of Legends, Minecraft and Monster Hunter were on similar playtime levels, but those were way later. At the playtime high of it, a friend heavily recommended me Final Fantasy, so I tried it out and I just couldn't get into it, the turn-based fighting style was nothing for me. And when I reported back to my friend he was confused and surprised and asked me what I mean, Pokemon is also turn-based. I never realized that it is indeed turn-based and I can't exactly say why it's so much fun with Pokemon, but unenjoyable *for me* in other games, but yea, realizing that blew my mind because turn-based games were near the most disliked type of game I had at that time.

Pokémon is my favorite franchise along with Sonic.

[@Jin_08787]

Idk why but listening to this is lowkey making me cry, I might be young but I love Pokémon so much. It just makes me so happy to hear their story and how they didn’t give up

[@DaDunca]

Fun fact: Pokémon Go was banned on all Marine Corps Military bases due to people walking into restricted areas trying to catch Pokémon. Some even put their lives in danger to catch them by walking behind active firing ranges.

They dead🍑 went voltorb mode.

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

That isn't the reason. Pokemon Go is more than just a game, it is spy ware. If they going to be banning this game for that then they should ban it for being a beacon. A lot of children were kidnapped because of this game.

[@I_AM_TheRealHIDE]

@@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris most apps nowadays have spyware unfortunately. I was in the Marines when the order was put out on banning Pokémon Go on base. It was not related to kidnapping at the time. It’s been a while so the mcor might have been updated

Wanna know another interesting bit of Pokémon trivia? My friend was the first dead person found by Pokémon go players. Happened in Solms, Tx. His name was Chris Lowe. He was an amazing good guy. So its very sad….. Here’s what happened: Some brand new Pokémon Go players were going to cemeteries to find ghost pokemon. They found my friends body who had been murdered and his body dumped in the cemetery. It was national news. This happened like 3 days after Pokémon Go launched.

[@7MeansLuck]

Wait, he was your friend? My condolences...
