Fond Memories of your first Pokemon games~

[Nim]

I still remember Christmas of 1999 or whenever it was when I still lived in South Africa and got my gameboy Color along with Silver. I got totodile and my sad little team consisted of feraligatr, magmar, octillery, Red gyrados, Ampharos and a pidgey that never seemed to evolve. I still remember Feraligatr's exact moveset which was Cut, Slash, Watergun and Hydro Pump; this was the same when I got him to level 100. I don't know what the other's levels were but I imagine they were very spread out and uneven because I pretty much used Feraligatr for everything. Good times, good times.

I had Red, Blue and Yellow however, i never beat the game so i don't have any memories of it
But i did get Gold, Silver Crystal and I remember on Gold that I spent a whole week in that twin tower trying to encounter Ho-Oh, I spent 6 hours every day for a whole week trying to complete the tower, then I got to the top, caught Ho-Oh and was over the moon and was like YAY ! I also remember the awesome training technique, going into the Veridian training place and battling the Lv. 50 Johto starters and leveling up my Typholosion It got to level eighty something and I was so happy because I never had a pokemon a level that high before

Then my sister deleted my file and started a new game and I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! D:
I felt like crying, all that hard work, wasted.
And I was 10 or something so I was even more upset ):

I remember the days of Sapphire. The music still brings chills to my bones. I remember not knowing how good a master ball was, and weakening Kyogre before catching it. I remember checking the power switch every three seconds because I was extremely paranoid about losing battery power.

My first game was Fire Red. For once I leveled up pokemon OTHER than my starter. I missed out on beating Gary because I accidentally made my Hitmonchan use agility twice instead of using Comet punch and K'Oing his pogeymanz. Needless to say, I restarted the game because there was no WAY I could beat the Elite4 again.

Let me tell ya tal, a tale of Pokemanz, of Pokemon...Gold.

I was but a boy of maybe, 6? 7? I don't even remember, was Gold just out? I don't know anymore, but I remember that Christmas, I saw the Gameboy Colour-Special Pikachu edition, of course. I opened Gold, placed the cartridge in, and a whole new world opened up to me. I was instantly caught up in this fantastic place, Johto was a place I could lose myself for hours. My Totodile continued to grow and evolve, a Hoothoot joined my team, then a Gastly, an Onix, all of them continuing ot grow and evolve.

I remember beating the Elite Four, my Amphardos striking the final blow to Lance's Dragonite, and the credits rolled. I had won.

But wait, was it?

I now found out about Kanto, what was this place? I recognised things from the show, which I had watched well before I knew the Pokemon franchise started as games. Now I was better, a much stronger trainer. Kanto was a real challenge, my small brain blown by the higher levels, by Red.

I beat him, my Feraligatr was now Lvl 100, and his Charizard fell to Hydro Pump.

I remember them fondly, and playing HeartGold now, I fall in love a second time, and Red loses again, this time to an Arcanine. I watch the screen go black.

The credits roll.

Honestly I can't remember what I got first it was either Pokemon Stadium or Yellow. Yellow which I didn't play long because I never did good.  For some reason I never could get past the marrowak ghost at lavendar town.  I was 5 at the time and didn't understand much beyond the anime.  I fell in love with Pokemon Stadium though.  To me it was very cool because you could choose any team you wanted.  This is also where I became fond of Gengar; back when most Gengar's movesets included "hypnosis" and "dream eater" I adopted this as my first strategy. 

The next thing I know Silver came out. (I still didn't understand much more about the types other than fire beat grass, water beat fire and etc.) I started with a Totodile and caught some other generic pokemon traded for an Onyx and made it to Goldenrod before things got difficult and I stopped for a short time.  Then I obtained Crystal and things seemed to take off for me.  By then I had a better knowledge of how things worked and I had a-lot more fun playing through the game with my seemingly unstopable Typhlosion.  After all the other games Crystal is really the first one I have good memories about and was good at.
