Entered~ thank you for this opportunity! It's nice seeing how kind and lovely this community can be!
Anyway~ I've been into Pokemon since I was veeeery young, around 3 or so. I watched the anime and never even knew it was a game series until I was 13 and noticed my friends were playing it. I ran home and asked my Mum to buy me it and so I got my first Pokemon game -- Diamond! Aaand I've never missed a generation since. :3
