For me, it all started when i snuck into my brother's room to use his gameboy color, which had a copy of pokemon red in it. Although he kicked my ass for deleting his savefile (oops), i loved the game since the very beginning, back when i was a lil kid of age 5. After that, the obvious way was to continue: Yellow, Crystal, and by far the best one, Emerald. After emerald i found Red Rescue team, which was something amazing and completely different from what i had seen so far, and it was very difficult for me to go back to normal series games. After that, i left Pokemon alltogether for quite a while, retaking it about 3 or 4 years ago. Gens 4, 5, and 6 were out and i had never tried them, so i started with 4, and loved it. Then i found out about Reborn via 9gag, and that lead me to Showdown, and THAT lead me to leagues (yeah Wolfox, Lotus r00ls :D). Quite the trip, and even though i've lost interest in main series games, i love Reborn's plot and difficulty level, as well as some other fanmade games.
