yellow was better than red and blue but it will never be better than either gold or silver

Ew, no. Personally, I hated Yellow. Pikachu following you was cool and all but it was f'd how it was so hard to beat Brock first time round.

Personally, the reason I still play my Silver game(Yes, I still have it and my old Gameboy Pocket and Gameboy Colour) is because it introduced a whole new region, my favourite one, the PokeGear, my favourite generation of Pokemon, ability to travel through two regions(the only non-remake game that allows this).

Despite being outdated, I still play it over and over. =3

I believe Nostalgia, not a single game that hasn't been remade yet, is keeping this generation "Alive". I dunno how you would keep a generation of games that's 14 years old alive though.

Anyway I own the cartridges and play them from time to time, not very often though. It does get old after a while.

I love yellow, but I definitely think red and blue keep that gen alive, I don't think yellow was as popular as red and blue and the original games are kind of iconic to pokemon.

Technically, by sales numbers, Yellow was considerably more popular. :\

I personally think it's the whole nostalgia factor that keeps this generation alive.

It's not keeping them alive, but rather keeping them up there. It's definetly different from what we have nowadays, because, back then, what we have now, is what we had back then.

I love the first generation games' simple style.
Although there are many bugs, they are not replacable.

I think it is personal preference. Sure, Yellow is one of the more popular 1st and 2nd gen games, but many people just enjoy the older games more and that is why they play them. Although I must say, Yellow, being so different from Red and Blue, never really got a remake as Firered and Leafgreen went along the lines of Red and Blue much more then they did Yellow, so it could be, seeing as there never was any game similar to it in the future.
