Pokémon History
Pokémon Red and Blue
In 1998 I got a blue Game Boy Color and a copy of Pokémon Blue for Christmas; this started an interesting ride through the franchise. Pokémon Blue wasn't my first run-in with the franchise, it was in a local Target where I saw an advertisement in a copy of Disney Adventures where there were a plethora of Pokémon under a gigantic net. The first one to catch my eye was Pidgeot which made me interested in the game because it was "an awesome bird".
I obtained all 151 Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex legitimately. This is the only time I have ever completed the National Dex.
Pokémon Gold and Silver
This was a gift from my grandparents very my birthday. There isn't too much history with this game, only the fact that it was my last Pokémon game until Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. This game also harbored my only shiny Pokémon, the shiny Gyarados from the Lake of Rage.
After the main hype of the game died down, I packed up my Game Boy and gave it and my two games to my neighbor's younger son. It took me six whole years to even glance at the franchise again, but that day did come.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
This was an odd ball. The only other Pokémon spin-off games I knew that weren't Pokémon Stadium was Pokémon Pinball. I had started to frequent a video game site that was a little keen on the Pokémon franchise and they had caught wind of a new game being released where you actually played as a Pokémon. To tell you the truth, I was a little intrigued by the thought of playing a Pokémon instead of being the slave driver that was used in the normal games.
I did emulate Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and I enjoyed it. It was a little strange to start playing a game franchise that I enjoyed from my childhood, but I beat it a few times and had a decent experience. It took a while to learn all the new Pokémon that I missed from the third generation though.
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
I picked this game up along with a Nintendo DS after watching a few of Marriland's battles on YouTube. I figured since it had online battles, I'd be able to find more people to fight than just people in my community. While I was disappointed that there was no "random battle" option like many online fighting of first-person shooter games had, the online still wasn't bad.
Overall Pokémon Diamond and Pearl was a decent re-introduction into the main games of the franchise. It suffered because of my lack of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire to transfer Pokés from, but it didn't detract to it too much.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time
Even though this is another game from the fourth generation, it deserves a special mention in the Pokémon history part of my user page. After my decent experience with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, I decided I might as well buy the sequel, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2. I heard about it about a week before release and bought it on a whim. On April 20, 2008 after coming home I started to play it... 17 hours later I put my Nintendo DS down to go to sleep. I loved the story and game play so much that Pokémon became a borderline obsession for a few months afterward.
After completing the main story six times, it has gone down as my favorite game of all time. Early in 2009 I found a new copy of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon so I could finally have the real cartridge for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2's predecessor.
