What’s your first Pokémon memory?

My very first Pokémon memory were these LOLLIPOPS and the Pokémon was in the candy, did anybody else have or remember these? #Memories

I didn’t know they made Pokemon dildos LMAO

My first ever memory of Pokemon was little me waking up at 4am  and turned on the Tv and Pokemon was showing
seeing Pokemon for the first time it was amazing, from there Pokemon became everything for me, i started collecting Pokemon cards, small Pokemon figures
sadly i couldn’t get the Gameboy games cuz there were not really selling in my country (>_<)

I want more Pokemon!

mine was probably back in 1996 when I got exposed to it by my Japanese friend. When i went over there, we would watch Pocket Monsters on their Japanese TV. all in Japanese. Showed me the monsters and their real names etc. Had all kinds of merch found only in japan too. Then went it got popular in the states in 1999 especially through the trading cards, I hopped in. But I knew most about it already because of my friend.

At the time this aired, I’m sure most of us didn’t know what the heck Pokemon was…..

But since then, Pokemon has blown up into a million dollar franchise. That commercial was how I knew of it. In 1999 I thought it was just a fad and it would go away. But one day in high school, someone let me play Pokemon Blue on their gameboy and I was hooked ever since. My first game was Pokemon Yellow.

Now in 2020, me and my wife are playing Pokemon Sword/Shield.

As for the anime, it’s fine, not really my thing. I did end up watching all the movies (thus far…), though.

Watching the First episode of the anime and loving Pikachu and then picking up Pokemon Blue at launch. I had a friend that got red so we traded ALOT so we both could finish our Pokedex. Getting mew though was my favorite memory of all because of the weird way you had to do it.
