The first Pokemon game you beat the league in?

[Kelleo]

Or, in other words, what's the first Pokemon game you beat the main story in?

My first game was Diamond/Pearl, but the first time I beat the league, I was playing Platinum. The Elite Four and Cynthia were just too tough in the first two games at the time. I was relieved, and still am, that they were nerfed a bit in Platinum. They were still difficult, but not so overwhelmingly hard like they were in D/P. Eventually, I managed to win in Pearl anyway, but still.

I wish I could have played RBY and GSC back in the day, but my stepbrothers hogged them. They wouldn't share. >_>

I did get Crystal, but that was a short time before HG/SS got announced, so yeah, hardly touched it. After that, I got FR/LG and beat the league in there (Gary is such a joke... He was too easy to beat), then I beat the league AND Red in HG (and that latter battle was loooong lol). Lastly, I beat the league in Black, including Alder. He wasn't hard to beat either, though that was probably because my Reshiram was capable of trumping over half his team, and thus, made it easy. xP

I have yet to complete Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald. I just haven't been as into them as I was the others, though I do have seven badges in Emerald so far.

Yellow, the first game I went and got.

 

[UnovaCastaway]

Silver, although it took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears.

 

[poke-fan93]

yellow my first game

 

[DerMißingno]

Pokemon Blue version.

 

[sonic10158]

Silver. My first games were Gold/Silver which i got on the same day back in 2000. I mainly played silver

 

[Bouffalant Herdier]

Pokemon Red, and it ended with a Rage battle between my freshly-caught Level 40 Onix and the rival's Level 65 Charizard. Yes, I wasn't a very good trainer back then.

Crystal. The noob I was back then,I demolished the League with highly overleved Typhlosion and Eevee.

 

[Squishy]

Pokemon Blue for me. As the noob I was at seven years old, I owned them all with an overleveled Venusaur named Plant. xDDD

 

[Envoy]

Pokemon Silver, my first game.

Since I was an idiot back then, I didn't train my Pokemon very well, so beating the league was difficult as all hell, though I did enjoy the challenge. Later battles against that league would have me owning them all with an incredibly overleveled Bulbasaur.

 

[closing account]

Pokemon Leafgreen. I think my first game was Pokemon Silver (old version), but as a young kid, I didn't know how to play it so, you know what I mean.

 

[Mixleplex]

Pokemon Red, followed shortly by Blue. It was with a charizard that I used for almost everything which I then traded to the Blue and swept everything with it again.

 

[Smeagol92055]

Mine was Pokémon Blue; I swept the league with my level 100 (MissingNo glitch with the rare candies, so his stats sucked, but what did I know at the time?) Nidoking. I thought he was the most amazing 'mon of all time; come to find out later that his stats sucked, his moveset was generic and easily countered, and my buddy with a level 56 Butterfree handed me my butt just to prove that I shouldn't powerlevel with Rare Candies.

I don't care; Nidoking, you're still the best; like no one ​ever was.

 

[Meyneth]

Sapphire, like others in this thread, was my first game. with my over leveled blaziken, which was the only pokemon I Trained.(hey I was ten.)

 

[Ventias]

If I recall, it was Pearl. It took me a few times to actually beat it I have to admit (EDIT: I was wrong. I used Staraptor and a Blaziken, which would explain it), but I did after a while. xD
Back in...2008 or 2009, I believe.

 

[Cleffa]

Crystal. Over 300 hours of gameplay :$

 

[VirtualAnomaly]

Pokemon Blue. I'm a veteran

 

[coolcatkim22]

The first game I beat was Sapphire. I had Red but I never beated it because I was too scared and then I lost it.

The next two times were Sapphire again as my first two sapphire cartridges were stolen.

 

[Shiny Shinx]

Emerald. Awesomeness.

 

[Peppermint Phoenix]

Crystal got all my pokemon to fifty then beat lance
