I have been playing since Red/Blue. I must confess I did not like Pokémon at all back then, I saw it as yet another hype that was going to be short lived. But after a high-school switch I started to hang out with a group of nintendo fans. We all had little in common save for our love for games. That bonded us. And all of them were also really into Pokémon. I wasn't. So eventually they had a bet with me. They would lend me a clean cardridge of Pokémon red. If I played through Red for 4 hours and still didn't like it, they would buy me a game (my choice). If I happened to like it, I had to buy the group coffee for a month. 
And that's how I ended up with both, a pokémon and a coffee addiction.
Now I only have to wait till I'm old and grumpy, move to Viridian City, lie down in the middle of the road and tell people: "You can't go through here!".
