When did you officially start playing Pokemon?

i have been playing ever since Ex Delta Spicies came out. i have collected since Ex Ruby&Sapphire.
 
My first pack was just after the GE PR. My girlfriend went to it, and then we both went to a tourney at a local card shop a week after the PR.

We traded a Claydol for a POP7 Bastiodon.
 
Technically started when fossil came out. Went to league when TRR came out. Went under the radar until MT came out (technically)

Ouch, that must stink. Did the person tell you it was a bad trade?

No, but we WANTED that Bastiodon. LoL Still friends with that person, and it's a good joke. Luckily we were able to trade for Claydols without any trouble.
 
I stated the day base set came out. I played in a few tournaments with hay maker and did pretty well. I quit after the neo series.
Then one day my little brother found my old cards in my closet and demanded I teach him how to play. That was right after holon phantom came out. I loved the delta species and miss them :(. The high point of me playing was when at last years provincials I came in 2nd place by Pwning all the little SPs with autozone :). I now plan on playing until the game dies in the hopefully distant future:).
 
I haven't been playing Pokemon so technically I've run out of ideas.

I started collecting during the Base Set days, then took a break during the Neo days, and started collecting again during the EX series.

It wasn't until July 2008 that I decided I might as well learn how to play the game if I was going to own all these cards. And so I began to play the TCG... the rest, as they say, is history (not really, but it has been fun. I'm even a league leader now :D)
 
Black Friday 08'. Bought the Gigas theme deck. Next day, splurged 75$$ on cards. First cities tourney and I fell in love.
