Who has been playing since Red/Blue/Yellow?

[G Max]

I started playing in 97 the year between red/blue and yellow. I was in third grade at the time and played all the way up to Ruby/Saphhire. I ended taking a break right before my favorite game Emerald came out. Sad thing is I never played Emerald originally. I started playing again when a friend of mine let me play through his copy of Y. I bought my 3ds and Pokemon X when I got my tax check last year. I plan on getting into competitive play again and don't plan to ever stop playing again.
