2nd Gen Completely dead?

[Sydian]

Where do these games stand in your point of view? Do you just see them in your room collecting dust while you sit there playing your new import of Black/White? Batteries dead? Are you ever gonna pick'em up and play again?

I see them as old, but not too old that I don't want to play them ever again. My RBY and GSC games are neatly stored in my game drawer (carefully organized, haha). All the batteries are still working as well, but I do have ROMs for all six of them in case anything happens (which eventually and unfortunately, something will). And occasionally, I get a serge of nostalgia and pick them up again for a normal playthrough. Playing the Black ROM made me want to play Red, actually. Haha.

 

[Ho-Oh]

I don't think they're dead yet... I still actually just want to play Yellow sometimes because even with the bad graphics, it seems like a brand new world. That was the start of Pokemon and shouldn't be forgotten to fully enjoy the new games, imo. I alsooo would play Crystal but then I'd wanna restart and I like my team so yeah D:

 

[Cherrim]

I must admit, I don't play any of them anymore. Part of it is that I live away from home most of the year and even if I wanted to play my hard copies, I only take my DS with me so I wouldn't be able to. :(

I have played the ROM for Blue recently--I went for a complete pokedex and did it in about 8 hours, albeit with the emulator sped up. And in Gold I... started doing a Nuzlocke challenge but was nearly completely wiped out by Clair and didn't even want to do Kanto so I gave up. XD;

But for the most part, I don't bother with the earlier gens anymore. :( They were fun while they lasted but I find them a bit of a chore to play because they lack so much I take for granted now in the series.

 

[Timbjerr]

I don't even have my Red/Blue/Yellow/Crystal cartridge anymore. They disappeared into the darkest corners of my parents' place years ago. D:

I have ROMs for five of the six genI/II games, but I only really play them for challenges and whatnot. XD

 

[Martins]

It really saddens me to see them alone, cold without heat from a console to warm them. I admit to having stopped playing them after Pokémon HG & SS were released. Before they were released, I only played Crystal, because Johto was my favorite region. After Johto was made on the NDS, I saw no point in playing the old ones again.

I have a ROM for every version of GB/GBC, but they are untouched and will be as such forever. What I am trying to say, is goodbye my dear RBY and GSC. See ya in anotha life, brothas.

 

[Bibliophibian]

I still have the cartridges for all six games, though only 5 are working now since the battery for my Silver game died. (*weeps*)
I absolutely refuse to reset my Crystal file, so that only leaves me with Gold to mess around on in Gen 2. I end up playing G/S/C on the computer instead, which...I actually do a fair amount of, even if I don't actually finish playing through them most of the time. I just like putting different teams together and playing with them.

I play R/B/Y a bit too. I started a new game on Blue a long time ago with the intention of raising an awesome team to use on Pokemon Stadium, but I restarted it recently so I could do a challenge. I'll have to start again later and put that team together, since I've been getting into Stadium again.

I have backups of Red and Blue on my computer as well, if I remember right, but I don't usually play them that way. It just doesn't feel the same. x_x

 

[Planetes.]

Crystal is Corrupted and I still play Yellow because its the only gen 1/2 game that wasn't remade.

 

[Yuoaman]

I play all the old games, they've never gone unloved for long. If I happen to come across a cartridge while cleaning my room for example I just have to see where I left off last time, and a lot of the time I'll continue on.

God I love Pokemon.

 

[Ctrl.Alt.Geak]

I pick up my Red once every 2-4 weeks so it doesnt lose its charge and become corrupted. I know thats just delaying the inevitable but I'm going to hate when it eventually happens (if the internal battery doesnt die first *knocks wood*). I usually do the same with my Blue/Yellow/G/S/C but I pay more attention to red because it was my first Pokemon game.
I guess my games dont "collect dust" but I dont play them as much as I used to.

 

[Arc]

I don't find them dead to me yet. I only own Yellow, Crystal and Silver. But I usually erase the file, and start from scratch once in a while. (^_^b)

 

[mal'akh]

Omg, if my game still worked, I'd play them every day. Non-stop hardcore play.
If it weren't for me being so scared of getting forty different viruses every three seconds from downloading a ROM, I would get one for Gold and Sapphire.
But I have them all in a little sack I got specifically for them. Neat and clean, with the internal batteries raped and destroyed from continuous hours of play. God I miss them. </3

 

[Bolanboy]

I still play my Blue in my GBC every now and then. In fact I took this picture a cupla days ago.

Spoiler:

And seeing as that's the only one I can find out of Red, Blue, Yellow and Gold, I'm rebuilding my cartridge collection. Bought Red, Silver, Crystal and Sapphire yesterday.

 

[Team Rocket's Raichu]

The 2nd generation games I have are dead, but the first aren't. Though I have a DS flash cart with all them (+Brown and Prism), so I can play the working (or nonworking) with a backlight. :P

 

[Limey-chan]

I still like playing Blue and Gold, but I haven't played either in months.

So currently they're sitting in my drawer gathering dust.

 

[RivalGator]

It's the most alive out of the whole series to me! I love it more than I do any of the newere Pokemon games, and that's for sure. I would much rather prefer to play a game of Crystal than Platinum, or even HG/SS. It's just something that will never die to me.

All of my originals are not old though. They will still play. G and S give me a hard time, but they will still work after a bit of persuasion and work. lol. R/B/Y work.

 

[Cold Fusion]

I have my Crystal packed away in a safe place and my older brother's Yellow is still somewhere, my younger brother's Blue will be somewhere safe no doubt all the batteries still work, but I don't I really play them as much as I used to in the past. D:

 

[Astinus]

I have no way to play the older games. Not only are most of them dead because they've been sitting exposed to dust for several years and I haven't touched them, but also because I gave away my old GameBoys except for my dying GameBoy Color. Which I found along with a cartridge of Yellow, and...dead.

I have ROMs for all the old games, but except for a few seconds of Yellow, I haven't played them. I guess I could say that I did move on to Black and White, leaving my old Pokemon to remain forgotten in a box in my closet.

The 2nd generation games I have are dead, but the first aren't. Though I have a DS flash cart with all them (+Brown and Prism), so I can play the working (or nonworking) with a backlight. :P

I take this option - I have the actual cartridges, boxed and complete (except for Crystal - my cart is unboxed, awful condition and actually corrupted because the battery leaked) for collection purposes (and so I can play them on my GBASP should the desire arise). But lately, I've been playing the roms on Lameboy.

Emulation is probably the greatest reason to own a DS flashcart, actually (other than, y'know, being able to keep backup copies of every DS game you own on one cartridge).

 

[Flyboy]

I have blue, Red a dead silver and fire red, platnuim, and diamond.
However since my ds is broken I can't play any of them, minus blue and red but I never have enough time.

 

[Dark Pulse94]

yeah, mine are dead, the batery is flat, and I don't have the time or motivation to replace them, my Silver Version is now on my top shelf, gathering dust *sobs at lost memories*
