Pokémon

I assume it was the original tv series broadcasting when I came out of school, but it could also have been the Pokémon cards that my classmates and kids in the neighbourhood had. Really not sure what came first. But what completely sealed the deal for me and why I love Pokémon still 25 years later was one of my best friends in primary school. She had the gameboy color with Pokémon Yellow and Crystal and I got to play on it every time I was at her place. At one point we also started collecting the cards together. Since I had no borthers or sisters, my parents took my friend on vacation with us as well, and we would spend all day playing on the gameboy or sorting our cards. Still one of my favorite memories ever.
