The first Pokemon game I've ever gotten is Pokemon Yellow. My mother found it at her work and decided to give it to us. We had no idea how to read, what Pokemon was, or how valuable the game is.
Three years later, my brother and I walk into a comic book store with my superhero nerd uncle. My brother wanted a Pokemon card pack, and when we went home I asked him if I could take the "cute little fox(Poochyena)." For awhile, we collected these card packs for the art, not exactly knowing what Pokemon was.
When we started going to school, the only good show on in the morning before school was Pokemon (Hoenn). We watched that for a few years, and then when Diamond and Pearl came out we bought those two.
When I first played Pearl, I rage quit a lot because I wasn't sure what to do, where to go, or what a PC was. I kept resetting my game a lot until my brother figured it out. Then we played the game through until the Elite Four because Cynthia is the toughest Elite Champion no lie.
After this we decided to take the old GBA we had and buy Ruby and Sapphire along with it.
Eventually we got through it, and then HeartGold and SoulSilver came out. A short time after I received SoulSilver, my brother and I wanted to join a club nearby called Pokemon League. On Sundays, we sat in the back of a hobby shop and honed on our Pokemon skills. My father joined in with us, and eventually us three became professionals at the TGC.
During this time Unova came. I never liked Unova, it's always been my least favorite region. We stopped going to Pokemon League around this time as well.
X and Y came out, and we were pretty good at that game. I started my quest to catch them all, and this was around the same time that I started communicating with a true Pokemon battler, who also happens to be someone I adore. He was very good at battling (500 wins, 20 losses), and he wanted to help me become good at Pokemon battling as well. He taught me about IVs, EVs, battle strategies, and whatnot. After a few weeks I declined saying I need to catch them all before I can master the fighting strategy.
ORAS comes out. This is the game where I really did catch them all. I am still on standby to learn how to professionally battle. I've been focusing mainly on double battles.
Present Day.
