    Thats right a thread for all of you missingo searching, glitched games and all that junk trainers, its time to talk about probably the first pokemon game ever, I may be wrong who knows, but everyone [at least me] remembers the blue and red games, the games when we where young and took us FOREVERE to get out of viridian forest, oh yeah that was the good life, searching for the strongest pokemon, not reading the text and playing just so you could get bragging rights at school oh yeah. So here everyone just post your best memory.

    Here is a list of mine:

    1: After like 10 times, I finally beat misty
    2: Spending 1 Hour in the dark cave [Shivers] It still haunts me today.
    3: Getting so sicked about my warturte evolved, hehe I freaked out.
    4: Putting my pokemon in my PC and released them all, and when I came back I forgot I did and I thought Team Rocket Stole them, my lol moment.
    5: Finally doing what I always wanted to do, capture a snorlax, alas I don't think I did ^_^

    So yeah I'll post more but you guys can do that to. Yeah.

    It'd probably be stuffing up the game with glitches and catching Missingno. That was epic. And slightly retarded. :3

    EDIT: Wow, 888th post. :D :D

    Spot on!
    I remember those well. Those were the days when were totally forgot that there was a teacher at the front of the classroom because our eyes were glued to the screen playing the games.

    And then at home, there was no such thing as homework lol

    It took me forever and a day to figure out how to get past the odd fish in Viridian City (Actually, it was just the grumpy old man, but from my eleven-year-old perspective, his sprite looked like a fish), and later took me forever to learn how to get into Saffron City. XD

    Ummm...my best memories are glitches, glitches, and moar glitches. They were so funny. Also, I believe my Pidgeot eventually turned into something resembling a chair. o:

    Missingno was the best, though.

    For me, it was figuring out how to get the birds without a disability. (etc Sleep). Also the graphics which were shocking, are still pretty awesome for me. Also the odd pokemon sprites that some had (especially Gyarados)

    I'm seriously considering buying Pokémon Red off of eBay because I only had Blue as a kid, and I always wanted to play Red even though it was the same game! Slightly OT, but my favourite memory of Pokémon Yellow was waking up on my birthday to find a package from America. My uncle was doing business over there and got me Yellow because he knew I loved Pokémon, and sent it over with the official strategy guide. I was so excited lol. ♥

    But my favourite Blue memories are:
    01. Unwrapping Blue at Christmas time! It was the game the salesman in GAME suggested my parents buy me with my GameBoy Color. I booted it up and spent the rest of the morning ignoring my other presents and playing the life out of it. (I'd been watching the anime for several weeks beforehand so I was super excited.)
    02. My friend trading me a Mew on my next birthday. He's still my favourite Legendary. (Wait, is he classified as a Legendary? I don't know D:)
    03. MOUNT MOON ARGH. I got so lost that my dad (who I think was sick of me complaining, heh >.>) went out and bought me a magazine which told you how to get through it. XD I've still got it lying around somewhere.
    04. Beating the Elite Four. Best moment of my gaming life ever. <3
    05. Seeing Missingno for the first time. He still creeps me out, but damn, he's sort-of awesome.

    My greatest memory has to be when I finally got to mewtwo took me an hour to work my way in the maze. I started battling him with my Gary(blastoise) and my mate said use the masterball. I was like I need to weaken him. I fort the masterball worked like a pokeball and it was just a special ball for mewtwo dint know it captured them first time lmao. So I ended up killing him. Had to go in the maze again then capture him with masterball then dint have a escape rope worked my way out and that had to be my best memory lol
    Also I was happy when I had two snorlaxs on my team. Captured a kangaskan and when I got a Ditto.

    Hah, I rmeber. I wouldnt even complete the games. Heck, I wouldnt get past the second gyms.

    First of all, how did i get that old man out of the way? I want to get to the forest! XD

    Then, when i did pass him, a cuople hours later, for random reasons, I would restart the game. This happened. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!

    Great Times =D

    Ah, I remember it like it was 10 years ago. Oh wait, it was. I remember trying to get the Mew, viewing the Missing No. for the first time. And catching a Pidgey. It was great.

    Good times.... my moments would have to be:

    1. Getting the Sliph Scope and uncovering the ghost's identity
    2. Wasting all of my poke/great balls trying to catch a ghost (they dodged em!)
    3. Beating my rival when he was champion and saw prof. oak coming (I thought I had to fight him too!)
    4. learning I could beat Brock with a Charmander and Ember
