Pokemon was boss back in the day. Playing on the old gameboy. Rock Tunnel was not fun without flash. Had to tilt the gameboy trying to see the lines of the level.

I played the original blue version so many times that I was able to go through all of the dark tunnels without the use of flash >_>

Fuck yeah Pokemon. RBY is in my top 5 for greatest games ever.

Been a fan for 15 years, and hyped as hell for Black/White. Feels good bro.

One of my favorite games ever. Easily my favorite RPG as well.

Yeah, this is easily my favourite franchise of all time. It had everything. Being a kid when this came out made it so awesome. The trading cards, television show, and the games just made it so dope ha. I remember getting my first game boy (gameboy pocket) and blue. It was the coolest shit ever. Though, I remember being bummed about the gameboy not being backlit or in colour like my game gear.

Yep, art time ...
LoZ can do it then we can!
Hahaha, I know you've been chomping at the bit. : P
Enjoy it!


Love this series so much. I took a big break from it after being too obsessed with the early 151/blue/pokesnap and all that, but I got back into it when Diamond came out. Still an awesome game, and still really enjoyable.
 
Dam 15 years and all I have to show is this awesome collection of Pokemon, I kid. I only played red and yellow a lot (had 6 Mewtwos). Lost interest in the new games, very similar to the original.

Pikachu and Charmander <3

For better or for worse, this is what made me a video gamer.
Same for me but more as a handheld gamer, the 3DS is the first time I haven't gotten a handheld because Pokemon is on it. I use to always wait for the new Pokemon before getting the system.

Hell, I'm kinda doing it with the 3DS seeing as my DS phat is broken and I have to have something to play BW on.

Played Pokemon for a total of 15min it seems. Ash was in a village and I think I got squirtle first. Was more into Squaresoft.

Pokemon Blue has to be one of my favorite games of all time. I love playing with Blastoise and using the Missing No. and Mew glitches in the game.

If I wasn't so lazy I would try and find it so I can play it again.

I still never forgive my young self for trading away my charizard card. Zapados was cool but it just wasn't the same :(

It is, though.

Cubone and Marowak were originally supposed to evolve into Kangaskhan.

Black and White are coming out in a few days.

There is still time to find out what you've been missing.

I always remember asking myself as a kid why the Nurse Joy's in the Pokecenter would always say "Hope to see you again." Did she want my Pokemon to faint so I had to come back? I was always so confused.
