The first Pokémon game I've ever played, was Pocket Monsters Green.
Back at the Elementary School, 2 years before anyone here knew about Pokémon, a classmate who was Japanese brought the game with him, and I was blown away with that game.
I've never enjoyed Gameboy games as much as I did with Pokémon Green.

2 years later, Pokémon finally hit Europe.
I was surprised there was no Green, so I decided to pick Pokémon Blue, which was the first Pokémon game I've owned.

Why am I telling you all this? Because I'm not sure this Thread was about "First Pokémon game you ever played", or "First Pokémon game you ever had".

Got yellow. Not only was it my first pokemon game it was the first game I ever owned and it started it allllll

 

[MCD]

I think it was Pearl, though I think I got Diamond at about the same time, so I'm unsure.

 

[MCS]

My first and only Pokemon game so far is Platinum.

 

[Chrom]

Blue. Only cause Red was sold out.

 

[Unknown Entity]

Red. I also remember a kid stole it as well right outside where I live.(backyard)

 

[Lario]

Gold.

I still remember dropping it in the toilet.

 

[YamiHoshi]

Were that good times, you mean to say?
I can still remember how my mother bought Pokémon Gold on a Polish Market, long before it has hit Europe (and long before it hit America as well).
I never realised the Cartridge was fake, until it actually came out in Europe.
I didn't know what "Japanese" was, back then, and the translations on that Cartridge were poor, anyway.

Whilst I never owned Blue, Gold or Crystal, I did play all 3 before I got my own which was Ruby.
