oh my god this thread just totally gave me a flashback...
I got pokemon Red and Blue. This was when I was 4 back in 2001 (11 now)
I got it with my GameBoy Pocket. Gold and Silver were already out then, but I had no idea what the hell was going on. I didnt really even care if new ones were coming out.
Then I found out there was 2 other newer ones with over 100+ new pokemon. I shizzed my pants, then I ran to my moms room and I begged her to get it for me. She wouldnt though. Then, my babysitter got me gold from a pawn shop for $3.50. I was really happy.
A couple weeks before, i got yellow.
And a week after i got gold, i got silver.
Then my friend found a Ruby cartridge abandoned on the beach when we went for a school field trip. He was so lucky, I went over to his house and we played it ALLLLL day.
Now everyone who sees someone who plays pokemon they call them "Stupid lame ass f*gs" So no one knows I play pokemon except for me :). My little secret.
