Great replies, guys! I was going to announce a winner, but with the maintenance break I figured that I'd extend it a bit further until it's back up. In the mean time, I'll provide my own story.
I've been a fan since before Red and Blue were released in America. I remember waking up early every day before school and watching the anime before heading to the bus stop. I was around 8 years old back then. Once the games were released, I remember bringing my Gameboy to school and battling and trading with my friends on the playground. I played the card game and went to tournaments at my local Toys'r'us and Borders stores. I even I bought a Japanese version of Pokemon Silver before it was released in American and my brother and I took turns playing it and tried to figure out what to do because it was in Japanese. I didn't play as much when Ruby and Sapphire were released, but I ended up getting back into it when Diamond and Pearl came out.
I don't have many friends that play unfortunately. Actually, none of my friends do. I love breeding and creating competitive teams nowadays. Pokemon X and Y are my favorite games because of how far they moved the franchise forward and made competitive battling easier to get into. I logged over 750 hours on my Pokemon Y game. I'm patiently waiting for a new main series game to come out!
