My first Pokemon game was Emerald. Well... I guess that it sort of counts as the first time I played Pokemon.
WARNING: Long story about my video game life
You see, back when I was three to five, I played Pokemon Emerald until after the eighth gym leader,(sadly I couldn't find waterfall). Same with Ruby (I got Ruby after Emerald. I got TROLLED good). However, My GBA and most of my games, (except for Emerald) were sold by my parents VIA Ebay. Luckily, my mom knew how much I liked Emerald, that she gave it to my grandma for me to play there, (she had an original DS that Icould borrow). However, that pleasure was short lived when I had found out that it got lost somewhere there about a year later. (This was back in 2006, and I'm still hoping to somehow find it today
). That was the last time I had played Pokemon. Luckily to end this streak of sadness, about summer 2010, one of my classmates in third grade practicaly gave me his DS Lite. That was when my friend showed me the awesomeness and glory of Pokemon Soul Silver. I eventualy ended up having my dad buy me a copy of soul silver, and later I got him to buy me platinum. You see, soul silver was the first Pokemon game that I had completed all the way (I even beat Red and found a shiny Ursurang at Mt. Silver). Since then, I evenualy evolved into the Pokemon fanatic/Retro game collector thats here today
. So now, because I'm a colector, I have every main series Pokemon game other than Crystal and Black 2, (sadly my diamond broke while I was playing through the story #stupidgamestop ) Now that I've told you this story, it's up to you whether my first game was Emerald, or if it was Soul Silver.
