I never did either, I mean, playing other video games than Pokémon, since it came out.
Most of the time I've been a Gameboy player as the handheld consoles are backwards compatible, but suddenly I made a "reverse halt" and got rid of all my games past Gen 2 (as I just didn't enjoy them as much as Gen 1 and 2; maybe it was the nostalgia bug that bit me) and focused on what pokémon games remained after that and on newer games I bought (which with todays standards are old but new for me, like NES, N64, GCN, PS2, GB, GBC and a few GBA games).
And that's why I bought Stadium 1 and 2, a few of the other game versions (I have Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Crystal and Stadium 1 and 2, Snap, Pokémon Puzzle Challenge and Pokémon TCG).
I used to have more, as I only bought Pokémon games, like Leafgreen, Sapphire, Pearl, Pokémon Pinball (of which the latter IMO isn't that good), but since then I've bought other games like:
Mario Bros. [NES], Beetle Adventure Racing [N64], Mickey's Speedway USA [N64] , LoZ Ocarina of time [N64], Tetris [GB], Mario & Yoshi [GB], Loz Oracle of ages [GBC], Loz A Link To The Past [GBA actually, it's a port] and Wario Land [GB].
All of which the scavenging rat in me managed to, after looking long and deep, find dirt cheap in various locations like local game stores, Ebay and Amazon. :-D
So recently I've focused on the greatness that is LoZ A link to the past and I'm in the last frikkin dungeon which is hard as hell >:-(.
Interchangeably I've played Wario Land which is IMO the best platformer and overall one of the best games to own for a Gameboy.
I managed to beat it in one week with the Select 16 times cheat in a few tight spots and prior experience, but overall the game is just the right amount of hardness to last a good while, with a lot of levels and secrets.
And that's my "small" essay-ish update on the summer's gaming. Haven't started up Red yet, but I'm planning to do it when, or if I ever, finish the Zelda game.
