    Game - Technically Pearl, but I claim it to be Soulilver, since even though I got both on the same day and booted up Pearl first, I don't play more than five minutes of it but I played t least an hour of soulsilver
    First Starter - Chikorita - had I had known that it wasn't that good, I wouldn't of picked it. I only picke it because I thought it looked cute. The chikorita line is still my favorite line of the Johto starters, Even if I don't pik it often when restarting anymore
    Prior Pokemon knowledge (if any) - Watched the Kanto anime, and ONLY the Kanto anime, so I had no idea what any of the Johto creatures were

  • Game- My very FIRST pokemon game was pokemon ruby. Even though, just like PokemonLionKing, I got 2 games at the same time (The other one was FireRed). Ah, my 6 year old self just loved that game. Here's my story: My friend invited me to stay at his house, so we played games on his computer. He opened an emulator called VBA (Visual Boy Advance) and selected pokemon ruby. He already knew that I watched the pokemon anime (The Diamond and Pearl one), so he asked me if I wanted to play. I said yes, and we both started taking turns. I was very into it, and at the end of the day, my friend gave me a disc with the same emulator and 2 pokemon games: Ruby and FireRed. The next day, when I was at home, I started playing the other game, FireRed. I still loved those games, even though I couldn't understand what everyone was saying (English isn't my mother language).


    Phew, now that was a long story. Sorry about that ^-^


    First Starter- At the very beginning I had a choice of three pokemon: torchic, mudkip and treecko. I pointed at treecko and said: "I want that one, because he's the coolest!". I sure didn't regret my choice, and treecko became my favourite starter of all time, and heck, he still is!

  • My first Pokemon game I ever owned was Pokemon Pearl. My big brother had Emerald before this, but I'm going to make Pearl count since it was my own game and I didn't play Emerald a lot. I originally wanted Diamond, because I thought it looked cooler but my big sister got it. Then my sister got Piplup, which I wanted, but I took Turtwig instead because I wanted a type advantage over her XD.


    I was dissatisfied with Turtwig because I didn't really like how it looked as much as Piplup and its evolution. But I grew to love Turtwig and then Torterra >:3. I was especially obsessed with the move Frenzy Plant, lol. But then I transferred my Torterra to HeartGold (My starter was Cyndaquil) because I wanted to see what its sprite looked like when it walks behind you.
    Then I wanted to reset my game for HeartGold and start anew, but I totally forgot about the Torterra still inside it XD. Oh well, hopefully I'll find another Turtwig someday.

  • Game-My first pokemon game was pokemon Emerald! I was quite young when I got it so I had no clue what I was doing, often trying to fight water with fire. It was my first game but my favorite by far is Black! The story was my favorite and my experiences were wonderful, because I was able to play it in as much of a co-op way as possible with my boyfriend, he would decide what I caught bed why moves I used and such. A close second would be Platinum because that's where I got my first shiny! A shiny Cresselia!
    First Starter-My first starter was Torchic! I just thought it was a cute orange chicken so I had to chose it! But now I realize that Blaziken is a monster!

    Game- my first was Pearl. I actually probably had a side game first (silly parents/me) it was either Pokemon Rangers r Mystery Dungeons Darkness.
    First starter- Piplup! I liked penguins and thought water types were cool....
    Prior knowledge- none whatsoever.

  • my first ever pokemon game was sapphire and well my starter was treecko as in every pokemon game for no reason why i start with the grass type no matter what and i still have it today to go though my memories as they last forever for me

    My first Pokemon game was Pearl, and I really enjoyed it! I've found other ones on my phone, however, such as LG and FR, also along with Dark Rising, Flora Sky, ect.
    My favorite starter? For DR, it would be Dratini, but for others, Piplup and Charmander!
    Prior Knowledge? ...

  • Game~I'm old school with this one, it was both Red and Blue! My parents gave me their old gameboys and they had the games in them, and they told me they had ALL the old games...so I went and played them all in order, and since I had both the old gameboys it was even better.
    Starter~I picked Bulbasaur for Red, and I don't regret it! Except in pokemon battle revolution, I don't like it. The only reason I don't is that the eyes and bloodshot *shiver* But in Blue I picked Squirtle. I never liked the Charmander family, to me they are the most overrated pokemon (sorry, Charizard fans).
    Prior Knowledge:The Mew glitch, making Mew the most common pokemon. I mean, I ended up with boxes full of Mews.

  • My first game was on a old, gameboy color with pokemon yellow or gold. I never knew how to save on either one( I was like 4. Lol) and I never got far, for odvious reasons.

    People always make jokes and comics about having their first shiny be Pidgey when they don't have pokeballs or at the beginning of the game...
    My first legit, non-Lake of Rage Gyarados shiny was Pidgey.


    Good thing is... MEGA SHINY PIDGEOT WOOOP WOOP!

  • My first legit shiny wasn't in past games (except for me accidentally fainting a shiny Axew in black :() was a Zorua in AS...and it was too early for pokeballs. I ended up going outside and hitting my head on the 'Rage Tree.' (A tree I hit my head on when I'm angry)

    Haha kool (aid)


    I wish I had a Rage Tree... I need one.


    No Guard+Hurricane spammingggggg

  • My first was a shiny whismur in emerald. I was 5 or so. My sisters first was a zubat. She didn't know what a shiny was in those days. Lol

    I've probably murdered a good share of shinies,


    I had Pearl, Soulsilver, Heartgold, Black, Black 2, and I'm really sure I didn't know what a shiny was in the first 4

    OR is amazing! I was talking to the GameStop lady and she told me how she liked OR legendary better than AS. We had a nice conversation about tiny holes too. Good times, a twelve year old with an older person xD

    Ah, OR is way better than AS for reasons more than legendaries....


    I am glad you got to talk with her, it's always nice seeing older people liking games we kids do. And it's even nicer when both ages balance out and love the same thing :'33
