It was probably around '98, I saw a Pikachu keychain at the local card store and I absolutely had to have it. It just went from there.

That is about when I really started to be aware of it. My roommate played, but I could not afford a GameBoy. He offered to buy one for me and sadly I passed on it. I got into it a few years later with my daughter.
