Waiting for someone to say Switch so I can age into dust.

Emulator nation. This is your place.
Gameboy Brick with Pokemon Yellow. Which I played non-stop for so long that when I was gonna heat up some food in the microwave I accidentally put the Gameboy into the microwave instead… It was a sad day.
GBA! Sapphire was my first Pokemon game!
Gameboy Color for my first! I played Crystal
Ds. I was 4 and got Pokémon diamond on release. That was my introduction to Pokémon
Switch for me. Been a fan since I was a kid, but my first Pokemon game was Sword
The brick
I started with Pokémon Blue on a purple Gameboy Color. What a Christmas Day that was for young me!
Pokemon Blue on a Game Boy color… some months later after its release…

Leaf Green on GBA was my first pkmn game, then Emerald right after. Man, those were the days..

Mother fucker I played my first game on the Gameboy Color. Guess I’ll check myself into the retirement home now…
a Wii lmao (it was one of those ones where you could get gameboy games on a hacked wii, my first game was leaf green)
A friend let me borrow their Gameboy and I tried out Pokémon Ruby for the first time.
Got hooked ever since.
Game Boy Color. Red or Blue (can’t remember which since I was only 6). But the Game Boy Advance is my favorite handheld.
Silver, on a Gameboy color. I was in 1st grade. My mom was a teacher and had confiscated the game and the Gameboy from a kid in 5th grade. I found it in her classroom desk and played it, then hunted the kid down and asked him if I could have it. Turned out she took it from him like a year before that, and he forgot, so he let me keep it. I’ve still got the Gameboy to this day. My very first console 🥹
Played red on a lime green gameboy color.
gameboy micro fire red
N64
Gameboy SP, Pokemon Emerald. Always has a special place in my heart. :3
Clear purple Gameboy Color. Fancy!
Gameboy Color and it was blue. I was so proud of my brother one shotting enemy pokemon. I didn’t understand the lvl-system back then. Neither could i read properly.
I first played Pokémon red on a PC with a very basic emulator in the early 2000’s. Then Gold, then after a long break I finally played my first Pokémon game on an actual console, White on the DS. I loved it.
On an original, plastic fat boy Gameboy without the flip-up screen.
I don’t even recall anything about it since I was still a kid, but I know I played it.
DS! Pokémon Diamond
In a PC. Years later, in a Gameboy Advance.
For Christmas when I was ten me and my brother got game boy colors (mine was lime green) and he got gold and I got silver
Pocket
Purple see through gameboy color with Pokémon silver.
Game Boy Original, first game was Gold 💛 and I was about 12 years old.
So many good memories, I think I was so enamoured with Eevee that I didn’t evolve it and it was part of my elite 4 team 😅
And I picked Chikorita at first but promptly got BULLIED by the bird gym so reset and chose Totodile 😂

Kiwi GBC with Pokémon Blue, but I was too young. Gold was the one when everything clicked and here i am almost 30 years later!
