Basic answer but, the anime. Aired on cartoon Network with good ol’ gen 1, then went up to around gen 5 when I stopped watching, and started playing the games instead

I believe it was Ruby at my cousins house 15 or 16 years ago at this point. Didn’t play it that much but I think that was the very first time I played a Pokémon game.

My cousin Adam gave me Pokémon Blue in 1999 when he had beaten it and I was 3 years old.
Addicted then. Addicted now.

When I was around 5 or so one of my neighborhood friends showed me a Poliwhirl card. 20 years later and I still have it.
Thanks for being the first pokemon I ever saw Poliwhirl! pic.twitter.com/MGpv3mJmb1

In Elementary school, a friend brought her Game Boy Color and played Pokémon Blue Edition and I was so fascinated, shortly afterwards the TCG was released and I spent every pocket money on Pokémon Cards. That was 25 years ago and I’m still so in love with this franchise ? pic.twitter.com/9o4KYwpF9Y
