1. How did you get introduced to Pokémon?

RiceKirby: My very first contact was with 2 pieces of merchandise that my father brought from Japan (a Pikachu plushie for my sister and an illustrated clipboard). I didn't even know what Pokémon was at that time; I only learned a few years ago when I watched the anime (started watching from episode 3).

Some time later I got my first (and actually only) Pokémon game: Pokémon Silver, which I mostly played using Super Gameboy.
