Started playing with Blue version in the summer of 1999 at the age of 10, my little bro of 8 got Red version. We eventually got yellow but that went to my other bro of 5 but I eventually got it when he got bored with it. Got Silver near launch, while my little bro got Gold. We also played the hell out of both Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2. That was the height my my Pokemon experience.
I skipped 3rd gen as I embraced console gaming 100% and skipped on a GBA till much later and had no drive to play the new pokemon by then.
It wasn't until Soul Silver did I get back into Pokemon in the summer of 2010. With this game I started to get into compeative Pokemon. Since then I've embraced 5th gen with White and then Black 2.
I'm currently 23 and will be 24 when I pick up Pokemon X this October. :3
