I was a fan before the Sinnoh games came out, but when I got Pokemon Pearl, that's when I became even more of a fan.

My team was awesome, though like Bunny, they probably weren't the best choices. I had a Luxray, a shiny Tysplosion (given to me by an acquaintance who had Action Replay XP), a Lucario, a Roserade, a Gengar and a Floatzel... when I finally decided on a final team, which was pretty late on. O.o

Pearl was my favourite Pokemon game... and then X came along.
