My Mother read about it in the paper, it said that it was the best thing for children, so she bought Pokemon Red and Blue for my 2 older brothers, since I was about 3 at the time they were in England and she got them, I do remember playing it a lot, mostly my brothers versions, my Father got Yellow when he went to America, and over the few years before Gold and Silver came out, I played those a lot, my first Pokémon game I owned was Gold, I completed it at the age of about 5 and was very happy with myself.
I got into the Anime when it was broadcast here during 1998-9, I remember one day when I woke up just before
this episode ended, and I was really sad because I thought I'd never see this episode again.
Little did I know, the internet with all it's amazing power could help me watch it, and I'm trying to be up to date with the series, currently on episode 411.
I'm happy I got into Pokémon during the first Gen, and continued through, Pokémon is a great series, and it was a huge part of my childhood, I don't know what I'd be like today if I didn't play the games, and watch the anime.
