    I saw ads for the original 150 in the Beano (a UK/Ireland comic) which made me curious. Then my brother and I got a Gameboy colour each - he took blue, I took red. We had a link cable. The rest is history

    I missed out on the 3rd gen due to university but caught up from platinum onwards.

    Haven't gotten AZ yet as no switch2

    I was probably around 8 or 9 when my dad first bought me and my siblings Pokeman tgc starter decks. I got the Blastoise deck. I remember spreading the whole deck across the carpet and just being fascinated with the characters on the cards.

    I was also first introduced to Pokémon from toys at McDonalds when I was a kid.

    I got into Pokemon when I started drawing a few. My first few ones that I remembered drawing were Pikachu, Piplup, Zubat, and of course, Jigglypuff! It encouraged me to draw more and more varieties of Pokemon, and eventually I played a few Pokemon games when I got my Switch Lite, the very first game playing was Sword, and I loved it!
