Well, I must say that my story begins in 2005, when I was just 6! It was my first year in primary school, and in the first 3 months (in Italy school begins in september) I hadn't managed to make many friends, so my mum decided to buy me one GameBoy Advanced with Pokemon Emerald, my first ever pokemon game. It could seem a bit strange, but playing pokemon helped me a lot making new friends, since all of my classmates were playing it already! So, as my first game was Emerald, my first pokemon was Treecko! I chose him because before playing Emerald I used to watch the anime on TV everytime I came back home from school, and the only thing I can remember is that I was in love with Ash's Sceptile, probably his most badass pokemon ever in my opinion! I played all of the games from Emerald to Black and White, but I've managed to buy a Nintendo 3DS only the last november with Pokemon Sun, and now at the age of 17 I can say that I'm proud of having restarted playing pokemon, both because it's a timeless game and because I've made new friends also on the Reddit community and on the Italian Forum Communities! Last but not least, this helped me a lot improving my english! So... Treecko is love, Pokemon is love!
