I remember playing pokemon for the first time. I borrowed my friends pokemon silver and started with cyndaquil. It took me foreverrrrr to even reach the first gym because i had to go through a cave and would always get stuck right at the exit by some dumb trainer with quite frankly the strongest geodude i have ever gone up against...RIP cyndaquil D:
Finally after what seemed like forever i managed to evolve it into quilava! I taught that geodude who is boss
It was smooth sailing from then on...or so i thought...
Anyway from that day it sparked a love for pokemon and for my birthday i got a gameboy advance along with pokemon saphire

i can honestly say that i played that game to death. It was a bit of an unhealthy adiction lol

having got a bit older now i dont play pokemon quite like i used to but once in a blue moon i pull the ds out of the cupboard and get right back into it. I had one of those cool sd apples were you could put like 50 games on it and choose whichever you wanted to play. Naturally, a majority of those were different pokemon games :p
