In Which Generation Did You Start Playing Pokémon, and what was your first game?

[Lylian]

Sapphire was the first game I owned. Though I did play Red for a while.

 

[Safe]

But you could just have picked Charmander...

What's the point if charmander is blue?!

 

[djulienr]

First game was either Yellow or Crystal cant remember but I only knew about the games because I was searching Pokemon online when I was little, cuz i love/d the anime

 

[Pyradox]

Wow. I am somewhat of a n00b. I got my first game (HeartGold) earlier this year. I had wanted SoulSilver, but I was quickly pacified when I found out they weren't all that different anyway. I got Black when it came out, and Platinum about a month ago. Since then, I have received (mainly from one specific friend, which I am not sure has an account here or not) Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and FireRed.

I get hooked fast, don't I?

My first game was pokemon Blue, I started with bulbasaur because I thought it looked cool. I never beat the game until many years later when I got pokemon Pearl and finally understood what the game was about.And now looking back upon it I am so glad I started with bulbasaur because Misty's starmie was like 5 levels bigger which would have sucked if I had charmander.

 

[MuddyKipz]

My first game was Pokemon Gold. My first ever handheld game!!!

 

[echelon999]

I started off with blue way back in the day

 

[Garland]

Started in 1 with Blue/Red (don't remember now... 11 years ago) Then yellow then Gold... skipped everything up until Platinum, rewind to Diamond, SS, HG, rewind to Emerald, White, Black in that order.

 

[OtakuPrincess]

Generation I, Red

 

[Blablahi]

My first game was Diamond.

No nostalgia excuses for me. D;

 

[Purim]

Blue, with a Squirtle.

I remember going to Toys R Us on the game's launch day to get my copy of Blue, excitedly jumping around when the guy FINALLY put out those little coupons you'd have to buy and redeem at that magical 'back room' where they kept all the games...

...damn, I'm old.

 

[Dolce]

Yellow I think it was, I'm not 100% sure though cause I have a bad memory.

 

[LiquidFury]

Gen I. Blue. Bulbasaur.

Such a superb game as a child, back when it was the pinnacle of GameBoy Games. That alongside TOS anime... magic.

 

[Camille]

My first game was FireRed, so I started with Generation III.

 

[Bluemew1512]

My first game was Platinum in 2009, whilst my first spin-off game was Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team.

 

[Pikasso]

My first game was Diamond in 2007. The Gen 4 games really got me into Pokemon and I enjoyed them a lot.

 

[Deadman]

We either need an update to this poll or a new one since this is 4 generations behind.

 

[Harryghost]

I played my first ever Pokémon game in 2016. It was Pokémon Emerald, so that would be Generation 3.

 

[Arceusgjengen]

Omega Ruby. Like Shining Pearl, I have yet to finish it.

 

[Iwlidn2938]

I started to play in Gen 5 with Pokemon White.
I'm now 20.
