I also had Pokémon Red on my phone a while ago! I need to reinstall that; all my apps were deleted when I refreshed my phone and haven't gotten to getting all apps back yet. Pokémon Red was my first game and Charmander my first Pokémon.

As a kid I always played with my cousin and some friends. I started generation 3 on emulators, since I didn't have any irl friends that had the games. I eventually bought them to catch Pokémon and transfer them to my generation 4 games. I was super happy when generation 4 introduced Wi-Fi, since it meant I could play with others again. xD I'm still super hyped for the generation 3 remakes; the Pokémon games weren't as popular in the Netherlands at the time anymore, but I love the region and its features. I think it will be even more awesome with the new features and graphics!
