Do any of you still have this? I do. Its incredibly boring but I feel like its worth something. It eve has the most unique original 150 pokedex entries. I never knew Haunter may have been from another dimension! O.o. Anyway, had ant of you bought this or still have one? Its 11yrs old!

Ha! Remember the Beep...Beep..Beep..Beep! When you first turn it on! Its the only sound the damn thing makes that doesn't annoy me. After that I turn the sound OFF!

Hah, well considering I was 4 at the time, the noise didn't bother me much, but it sure does now =p
Yeah, I remember that.

Oh...that thing. I think I still have mine...somewhere. I remember messing with that a lot. It was interesting at the time. I pretty much had the sound turned off all of the time on it. It got on my nerves even then.

Oooh man, memories...
No, I never had one, but I had friends who had it. It was pretty cool though from what I got to see of it. Did they talk? Like in the show? It was way back then last time I saw one, don't remember much of it.

No it didnt talk. I though it would so I bought it but I was disappointed! >.< Its still history though. It has no Mew data either.

February 21st, 2009, 05:22 AM
Yeah, but Mew was sorta like Darkrai, Shaymin and Arceus. It was sorta just revealed, but not right away.

I still have mine, though I haven't turned it on for a while. I keep it in a cabinet with all the Pokemon movies and episodes I have on VHS. *is old-hat*
I was kind of disappointed that it didn't read the entries out loud and that it didn't have Mew, but otherwise it was one of the best things ever. I liked filling in that list of favorite Pokemon it had. My only problem was remembering the password after I turned it on. x-x
A little off-subject, but does anyone remember that talking Pikachu doll they came out with? It's cheeks would light up and it's ears would move. "Pika Pika Chu", etc. I remember them being like $80, but I ended up getting mine for $20. :3 I had a ton of fun with that. Always felt guilty for turning it off.
Now I feel old, so I'm going to yell at some children to get off of my lawn. *jumps onto her Hover-Round and disappears into the sunset*

I remember that I used to have one, the cover broke off and I dropped it in a puddle.
It still works, I just don't know where it is. =(

Wow, I remember that my friend had one of those. Those things were awesome. The new Pokedexes they sell kind of suck now, but that thing was just totally awesome in every way.

I don't think mine works anymore but oh well XD
The only thing I can remember is the stupid noise it made when it started up :(
Also, I think the front cover of mine is broken too XD

Omigosh yes! I loved looking through it. But whenever there was a thunderstorm, it'd go BEEP BEEP BEEP and turn on, which drove me crazy!
I think it eventually ran out of batteries, it's lying on my shelf somewhere haha.

Oh man I remember that thing!
I still have it in my closet!
I remember fooling my brother with it. I would set the dex entry to Meowth and put my Meowth plushie in front of it, then open up the dex. My brother would think it was really identifying the plushie! Xd

OMG! I have the original pokedex too. I don't know where it is now but it was fun, especially when you turn it on. I collected the gold cards and the other toys too. :3
I didn't know about Mew until my neighbor pwned me with one...

What kinds of sounds does this one make? Does it have a classic feel to it?

I had one of those! I remember bugging my mum for several days before she ended up buying it for me. I used to be in love with it because it made me feel one step closer to the Pokemon world. I'm sure I still have it but I haven't seen it in a while.

It doesn't make too many noises. It makes this loud annoy beeping noise and the in-game cries of Pikachu, Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip.
It sort of has a old feel to it but the pictures of the Pokemon are the new ones so it doesn't give you a nostalgic feeling like old Pokedex toys.
There is this one thing I have from the old days which is a Pokeball, it's a huge heavy sphere that opens up to a small LCD screen with games like catch the Pokemon and beat Team Rocket. Here's a picture:

The kid who lives next door to me had one of those. They were good, even if the novelty did wear off after a while.
