Do you still have your games?
 
Do you still have your original games? I know I do. I've held onto my first ever game Pokemon Gold, as well as Red, Blue and Yellow. I don't think I will ever part with them. They're just too nostalgic.

What about you guys?

Hiidoran December 20th, 2015 7:00 PM

I did for a long time, but sadly, I think they're gone now.

I held on to all versions red-crystal until I moved out on my own, and I somewhat forgot they were in a drawer at my father's house. I'm pretty sure he's cleaned that room out and sold what I hadn't claimed in garage sales. I feel kind of sad about it, but their batteries were dry and I wasn't about to replace them. I still have the memories, and there are always emulators to relive the fun - well, that and the ports.

Still. Maybe one day I will get a few hard copies and frame them in my office or something.

I wish I can get some original hard copies of it, even if they are used but as long as they work I'm fine with it.

Caite-chan December 21st, 2015 12:33 AM

I wish I still did because I miss them. I know a friend of my has kept all of hers. I would always sell mine when I needed money or the newer versions came out.

Mega_Kris December 21st, 2015 12:37 AM

I have my original silver (best present ever) and blue, and my crystal.

Kaiyu December 23rd, 2015 8:26 AM

I still have my games from both generations. I just umm...don't remember where I put them lol.

WindriderShiva December 23rd, 2015 1:49 PM

I have them as well - Yellow and Gold. I had expected the inner batteries to have gone dry, but last time I booted Gold on my GBC, it actually worked fine~ I'm probably never gonna get rid of them.

Fen-Fen December 23rd, 2015 3:22 PM

I suppose I have copy of one, but they weren't personally played by me when they were new; I received a copy of Pokemon Blue as a gift from a friend a few months ago. I need to get the battery replaced. I used to know a guy who could do it, but he wouldn't do it for me again. Now I need to find someone else who has a soldering iron... My copy of Silver, however, still works. I got that one as an Xmas gift a couple years back.

Drogan December 23rd, 2015 5:32 PM

I have Red, Blue, and Yellow and I WILL NEVER LET THEM GO!

It's always nostalgic to go back and look back at what I did on my save. Also I can finally have Alakazam, Machamp, Golem, and Gengar! I've gone so long without the ability to trade, so now it's amazing. Now if my link cable cooperates more often, I can battle my brother one day!

Now I'm looking forward to the 3DS ports even more.

Also I have Pokemon Crystal and it quickly became my favorite video game of all time! I cherish my copy of the game, mostly because it's my first ever copy of the game!

acatfrommars December 23rd, 2015 9:04 PM

I wish! I had Pokemon Silver but I gave it away to m friend, and I don't even think he plays it anymore.... The only older Pokemon game that I own is Sapphire and I don't really play it much anymore.

Exactly! Even though I don't play them much (if at all) anymore, I still can't let them go. They're just far too nostalgic. I poured hours and hours into those games as a kid. They are a part of my history, haha.

Desert Stream~ December 24th, 2015 6:53 AM

Last wednesday this guy walks into a building with a game boy color. Pokemon Red inside. he said he would give me a broken pokemon yellow next week. Now if only I had a GBC

Judge Mandolore Shepard December 24th, 2015 6:55 AM

Yes, I still have my original copies of Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Silver.

Crizzle December 24th, 2015 9:34 AM

Nope, lost them in the folly of my childhood. Got ROM files though.

Sheep December 25th, 2015 9:40 AM

Yup, still do. 16 years later. I have a box full of my old GBC/GBA games and last I checked they were all working pretty well.. at least the Crystal version was that I played. Hard to get rid of something so sentimental.

Guest123_x1 December 25th, 2015 1:15 PM

I traded in all my Generation I (Blue and Yellow) and II games (all three) nearly ten years ago, when I decided I wanted to get out of Pokémon. Although I do regret this decision at times, given what I've heard about people's games no longer saving (especially with G/S) due to the save battery running out, it probably was for the best.

Although, hopefully, I'll be able to relive the memories of me playing Generation I on an actual handheld (as opposed to PC-based emulators) come February when R/B/Y are re-released to Virtual Console. Hopefully, at some point after that, G/S/C will see a similar re-release as well.

magicalgirlj December 25th, 2015 1:20 PM

I sold my Red, Blue, and Yellow games to Game Stop in middle school. I have a copy of Silver somewhere though the internal battery is dead

Ammako December 26th, 2015 5:48 PM

Yeah, I do. In fact I bought a Japanese copy of Silver just a bit over two months ago.

Limey-chan December 28th, 2015 3:23 PM

I have my Blue, Yellow and Silver. Unfortunately, the internal battery on my Silver has died so i've lost my original save.

I even have my original Game Boy Colour to play them on.

~RNC~ December 29th, 2015 7:09 PM

I still have all of mine, I also still have the original pikachu gameboy color as well, I get them out every now and then and make sure they all still work.

Kikaito plush December 31st, 2015 7:27 AM

I still have my pokemon yellow and silver but my silver battery dead ages ago.

mjb8910 December 31st, 2015 12:23 PM

I have my originals of RBY and GSC but sadly the batteries have died and my GSC games don't work. My RBY games work and I still use them. I also still have my copies of Pokémon Stadium and Stadium 2 for the N64 as well. Lots of hours wasted but so much fun!

Same! Me and my flatmates dug them out a while back and had a mini tournament between ourselves, it was a good laugh.

I didn't realise until that night just how OP Pokemon like Tauros actually were in Gen I, dear God..

noa January 1st, 2016 10:29 PM

Status of my old games:

Red: Dead. Shoved somewhere in a box back home in California.
Blue: Dead. Absolutely no clue where it is.
Yellow: Dead. (Really sad about this) Have the cartridge here with me in Seattle.
Silver: Alive, but it can't save games anymore.
Crystal: Alive and still working! :)

My gameboy color no longer has sound though, so I just play it on an emulator. I love modern technology!

Sun January 3rd, 2016 11:37 PM

I'm really sad to say that my Color and Metal games are no longer here. Still, I'm really glad to have them part of life! I believe I wouldn't be here if I wasn't addicted to Pokemon in the first place! Hahaha!
