When did you officially start playing Pokemon?
- Thread starter Raequaza
- Start date
May 9th 2009 Rising Rivals Prerelease 7pm, it was the best experience of my life. I've been collecting since the base set
I started about a week before platinum came out, last day of January.
6.16.06
.
I started playing when Fossil came out - then stopped playing for a number of years - and returned in June 2006.
My son's very first game was on June 16, 2006. I was at work and his mother taught him how to play.
His first tournament was on January 5, 2008. He went 3-2 in a City Championship tourney. That next month was my first tournament... Great Encounters Pre-Release.

Oh, wow...
It was a long while ago, I think the only thing out was Base set, but Jungle might have been out too, I can't really remember.
I had originally played with a friends deck, thought it was okay but wasn't sure if I was going to get into it. Then on a whim, while buying packs of Star Trek CCG, I bought a base set booster pack, and my holo was none other than Base Set Venusaur. That night I convinced my parents to buy me the Overgrowth deck so Venusaur had a home, and it was all uphill from there.
Although I don't have the original cards (the original collection was stolen from me in gym class so long ago) I have an Overgrowth theme deck with a Base Set Venusaur added to it sitting around just for the memories.

I bought a theme deck whenever Jungle came out, if I remember correctly.
whenever the first pokemon game came out XD
First Prerelease: Diamond and Pearl
First Tournament: Cities 2008
First Tournament: Cities 2008
I started in 1999, and have played off and on since then. Must say the climate has changed A LOT since then, too. But it's been a whole lot of fun getting back into it. I restarted playing last month. The whole Evolved Pokemon as Basic Pokemon was SHOCKING to me at first lol.
Well, I started at around Diamond and Pearl, but never went to league, and just battled my cousin. But my first tournament was the City Championships 2009 and I go to league now.
When it comes to actually playing the game, I started the day Platinum (the TCG set) released. I collected during Base Set, Jungle and Fossil.
The TCG, I presume?
I believe it was back when Hidden Legends was released, which would make it... 2004? 2003?
...Something like that, anyways. *shrugs*
