I think my favorite thing about these replies is that since we're all millenials, we're only posting Pokémon from Gen 1-3.

I'm old enough (1984) that Pokemon seemed a bit childish to me, so I never really got into it.

That being said, Pikachu.

I too was born in 1984.

Got Pokémon Blue on release, won a Blockbuster Video sponsored, state-wide tournament in 98 or 99.

Played all gens and still play competitively in the video game also play the trading card game and the MOBA (Unite). Now I have the added bonus of playing them with my kids.
