My first two cards were a Meowth and a Geodude. I still have the Meowth but I traded the Geodude at some point :( I think my favorites are the Meowth, my Mewtwo from my history teacher, my Reshiram EX from my friend, and a random Kabuto card that happens to be in German.

I’m too old to have collected Pokémon cards.

It was a rattata. I bought the gen one duel set. I was a kid, that was the first card on top. From my memory. I think it also had like a Meowth, a holo Machamp.I think was the rare. Super fuzzy memory on the details. This is the set that came with the blue and red glass counters.

Oh man Gen 1. I don’t think I even knew what pokemon was back then. I might not have even been born! How long has pokemon existed anyway? Now I’m actually curious to see what Gen was going on when I first got into Pokemon… also Rattata is one of my favs too.

My first was a Rattata from bootleg pack since Grandma didn’t know better. Favorite was a foil Kabutops in Japanese.

Oh man the bootlegs. I have some with misspelled names. I have a fake Vulpix with reflective edges but they messed up the back colors and the font at the bottom. And the foreign language cards are always neat!

Back in the day! I miss when Pokemon wasn’t just a yearly cash cow of bottom quality games to sell merch like cards.
