It was the Gameboy commercial when red/blue came out.

I saw it and was like, "What's this game about? Those creatures are so cute! You collect them? I need to check this out!" I babysat a bunch, saved my money, bought Pokemon Red, and I was hooked. I started watching the animated series, collecting the TCG, and playing with friends. Been engaged ever since.
