Man... those were the days.
Red and Blue had just come out, and me and my freind were determined to catch them all.
I had blue, and he had red, and we worked together to get all of them.
A week after we'd caught all 150 [excluding mew], my Stepdad went out to have a few drinks, my gameboy color was in a plastic bag, and he came back and thought it would be a good idea to vomit in the bag. It destroyed my gameboy color and my blue version [He replaced them both, thank god].. But all my hard work had gone. You can imagine how dissapointed I was.
I'm gonna try to go for as many as I can legit on Platinum when it comes out over here in merry old england, though.
