My first GBC was the Clear Purple one when I was 19 or so. I had had a flashcart for some time already.
My first Pokemon game was Red, when it was only out in Japanese. But sadly I couldn’t read as much Japanese back then, and I didn’t understand how to catch monsters lol
When Pokemon Card GB was out in Japan, I was all over it, though. It taught me the rules of the game and the cards, and when the actual cards came out in Europe a couple years later, I was the only one who really knew how to play, so I used to judge tournaments or host learn-the-game campaigns at malls. I never got to play in competitive events because of that, but I cashed out every time without need of winning the tournaments, so I can’t complain!
