Pokemon Yellow was the first game I ever waited in line for!! I saved and saved and saved, and on October 1st, '99, I was 12 and my mom took me to the mall and paid for 1/2 the cost of Pokemon Yellow and a brand new Yellow GameBoy Color! I was soooo excited!
I even got to attend a Nintendo Event with it and got a Mew! I missed the one to get Surfing Pikachu though, and there was no way I'd ever complete Stadium to get it, so I totally cheated and used my Game Genie :D
I just downloaded the MeBoy version onto my cell phone and I'm playing it all over again ^_^
