My first OWNED copy, was Yellow. Though I was very young and at the time, I hated reading. (for whatever reason) So, I went to play and realized that it was all reading, and was like "I'm done" and never touched it again. Then my Parents got me Pokemon Crystal few years later... I decided to try it out again, and LOVED it. That's where it started. I played that game like it was going out of style. I even tricked my parents numerous times, saying I was going to bed, and then hiding under the covers with one of those squiggly lights hanging over my Gameboy Color. I played all night, all day, and LOVED doing the Bug-Catching contest. And yeah- that's when my addiction started. So I consider Crystal to be my first.
