I didn't pick up red or blue until long after they'd been released, but Yellow was the first pokemon game I bought myself. ^_^ (I had Crystal before that, but my ex bought it.)
However, Pokemon Blue was my first Pokemon game. I started playing with my cousin Spencer when he was 3. He couldn't read yet, so when he was having trouble figuring the game out, he asked for my help. (I was in Junior High and such a Grown Up, but that kid could get me to do anything, lol) I think we played together for ten hours that day, with me reading the words and him pushing the buttons while we decided on what moves to use in battle together. Lots of fun and one of my favorite memories.
...makes me feel kind of old though, realizing that I was that much older than the target audience at the time.
But like you, I fucking love Pokemon and always will.
