I may have been late to join Bulbapedia, but I was certainly not that late in joining Pokémon itself. While I initially didn't like it very much because I had no idea what it was about, throughout 1999 I got a better look at it through kids I knew. I began my TCG collection then, but I didn't have a Game Boy to my name... heck, I barely had any games for N64. But eventually, that November, my parents waited in line for a chance to get the elusive #151, {{p|Mew}}. And out of so many, they were the ones who got it. I asked, of course, "Hey, there a chance I can get that in TCG format?" Nope. It was an event Mew. I needed a game. So, there you have it. I got {{game|Yellow}} and started off with {{p|Pikachu}}... and from there... went on my quest to always finish the Pokédex. | I may have been late to join Bulbapedia, but I was certainly not that late in joining Pokémon itself.

Then I got | Then I got Red and Blue to finish the Pokédex. I finished each and got {{p|Mewtwo}}, but the one from Red was particularly a pain to catch... enough that I ran out of everything but Great Balls, and so ended up catching him in one. That was Psycho... but more on him on [[/Psychos|my subpage]]. | ||
I, unlike so many others when they start off, had advanced knowledge of {{shiny2}} Pokémon, though, and was eagerly awaiting the release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, and my chance to get my own, much like that shiny Oddish someone displayed. I got my wish... four times, in fact, not counting the [[red Gyarados]]. Go on and read about ''that'' over on [[/Shiny|my other subpage]]. | I, unlike so many others when they start off, had advanced knowledge of {{shiny2}} Pokémon, though, and was eagerly awaiting the release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, and my chance to get my own, much like that shiny Oddish someone displayed.
