How did you get into Pokemon?

[Symphony]

Me and my friends used to gather in my house everyday at 5:30 PM to watch the anime on CN. And we sang the goddamned intro song every time.
Then my parents bought me my N64, which came with Pokemon Stadium 1. My neighbor had a gameboy with pokemon red and I used to borrow it to play on the 64. Later on, I played Silver, Ruby and Emerald. Stopping on the DS games, mainly because of lack of time and lost of interest.
