Red was my first and only (Unless you count Stadium and Snap.) I don't mean this in a condescending way (I know a few people that still play Pokemon) but I was too grown up by the time 2nd gen came around. I just... didn't care anymore. Not that there's anything wrong with anyone else adult playing it, it just wasn't for me.

Red. My next door neighbors and I had been getting up at 6 AM to watch the anime before school then i finally got the game. Bulbasaur was my very first Pokmon.

The game really was mind blowing.

Playing the Pokemon games on the Gameboy Color was very mind blowing. It just feels so much more organic than playing a simulator on a cell phone.

Blue.

I remember being a freshman in High School and Pokemon was so popular. I did my best to ignore everything about it because I kept telling myself that it's just another fad and it'll go away soon. Fast forward 3-4 months and one of my friend can't believe I still haven't played a game yet. He told me I was missing out and so he showed up at my house one time on a Saturday and forcefully installed the Pokemon Blue rom onto my computer and left. I gave it a shot with my sister by my side and we were hooked.

A few weeks later my sister and I used our birthday money to each buy a Gameboy color along with Red and Blue (I played Blue). Kind of a shame I lost touch with that friend from high school. I still play and love Pokemon to this day thanks to him.

My best friend in middle school had Pokemon blue and we'd take turns playing it. That year for my birthday I got a Gameboy color and Red. She got a game link cable and we'd trade and play at school until some other jerks got Pokemon banned.

That was fun times

One time, one of my friends had a regular big game boy, and we had two Gameboy pockets. We used the link cable to connect ALL THREE Gameboys at once, and we got the game to do a 3-way battle. All that happened though, was every Pokemon looked like Missingno and then all 3 games crashed/froze after one person tried to do an attack. It was pretty awesome.

What would I possibly gain by making up a random story about an extremely old game boy game to impress random strangers on a video game forum that I won't even be visiting in a few months? LOL. I'm slightly offended that I gave off the impression of a liar. But, I suppose healthy skepticism is just that... healthy.

I have no way of proving it to you, other than the fact that I still know both people that I did this with (one is my brother, and one was my neighbor). And you shouldn't consider that a reliable source because of familiarity bias. At the end of the day, you either believe me, or you don't. No worries. Take care, brother.

If you trade it to another game you can evolve it there & trade it back, did this once.

Pikachu was a stone evolution. Machamp, gengar, Alakazam, and golem were the trade evolutions.

Yes but you weren't allowed to evolve your Pikachu in yellow. You would need to trade to another game to do it.

I spent the better part of 2 years jealous of my friends for having a Game Boy and Pokemon until I got Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Stadium (so I could play it on the TV) for my birthday in 2000.

Pokmon Yellow Version was my first Pokmon game and first Game Boy game, as it was bundled with a Pokmon-themed Game Boy Color (the yellow one with Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Togepi on it) I got for Christmas when I was 5 years old in 1997.

Red. I played it with a friend of mine in first grade. I remember spreading rumors about the Mew in the truck, and that you could use Pikachu to use thundershock on the npc offering fossils to get both of them. There was this other kid who told me that I could get a Mew by catching a Magikarp with a super rod near the S.S. Anne, then you would cancel his evolution until he evolved into a glitched Snorlax at level 40, and then it would somehow immediately evolve into a Mew afterwards. I remember having trouble trying to even catch a Magikarp with the super rod, hell it might not have even been possible there lol.
Needless to say I never got that Mew.

Fast forward several years later and in the sixth grade, I left my GBC in the bathroom. My cousin who I was living with at the time started a new game and saved over my file, which broke my heart because my level 100 Mewtwo was on it.
May he rest in peace
His data was still on Pokemon Stadium though, so I could still fight with him...just never could use him anywhere else ever again..

It's because the younger generation doesn't know what message boards are, and wouldn't be caught dead on this site.

I don't know about the wouldn't be caught dead on this site part but you got the first part right. The majority of us old people (I'm 33 btw) grew up with chat rooms and message boards. Posting on GameFAQs is something I love doing. The younger generation just don't care for it and are all about social media. It also explains why they're so bad at spelling too when you think about it.
