Do you still have an original Pokemon Red, Blue, or Yellow cartridge?
 
This post is similar to the one in generation 3, but I thought it would be interesting to ask that here since the games are over 20 years old.

Do you still have an original gen 1 cartridge? I still have my Pokemon Blue I bought from some school garage sale. (Although I'm sure the battery is near death)

I have both red and yellow cartridges which work without having replaced the battery. I have no idea why, considering Silver version was the first of mine to go, followed by my third gen games..

Unfortunately I no longer have blue, as a 'friend' when I was a kid borrowed it and never returned it...

I have Pokémon Blue in Spanish, Game Boy Color included. :D

I do! I have all three. Hard to get rid of them because they hold so many memories, so I'll probably keep them forever. Can't believe it's nearing 20 years since I bought these games. @[email protected]'

I have Red and Yellow.

Judge Mandolore Shepard February 13th, 2017 9:22 AM

Yeah, I still have my original copy of Pokemon Blue. It is in a crate with the rest of my video games.

Neon Pink February 13th, 2017 3:56 PM

I lost the cartridges that I originally bought when they first came out, but I bought a Blue cartridge a few years ago on amazon so yay for that.

magikarpfainted February 13th, 2017 4:22 PM

my husband has his
i wasnt allowed to have a gameboy back in the day
but ive made up for it as an adult, i own almost all of the staple consoles from the last 25 years and a library of games for them.

I still have my original Blue cartridge from when I was around 4 years old. Unfortunately the internal battery died a long time ago so it's not very playable, but at least I still have it! My brother still has his copy of Yellow that we got second-hand about 10 years ago.

Schizii February 21st, 2017 12:14 PM

I have all three.

Sirfetch’d February 21st, 2017 4:24 PM

I don't :( I misplaced my Yellow version and I think I gave my Blue to a friend and never asked for it back. I have been considering ordering unopened copies on Ebay for a collection but they are sooooo expensive....

ToWriteLove February 21st, 2017 5:08 PM

Still have all of my OG cartridges. Red, Blue, and Yellow. Luckily the batteries are still good in them.

pkmin3033 February 22nd, 2017 4:17 AM

I do! I have Yellow and Blue, although my copy of Red disappeared well over a decade ago now, and that was the first one I got...

-Nonsense- February 22nd, 2017 6:06 AM

My old Yellow version is somewhere just no clue where though. Doesn't matter, can't save on it anymore.

L'Belle February 22nd, 2017 6:47 AM

I do not. It was very much before my time actually, It came out before I was born, and I only got into pokémon when x and y came out, so they hold the nostalgia for me.

Gen 2 had a clock system, which drained the battery more quickly than the simpler Gen 1 games, iirc.

I still have my Yellow cartridge! it works fine. It's just my GBA that glitches if I accidentally touch the cartridge ;;

Megan March 11th, 2017 12:58 PM

I still have my Blue version which I got back in the day.

Guest123123 March 12th, 2017 9:07 PM

I don't. I have no clue what happened to my 1st gen games. The earliest game I still have is Crystal, and even then it's not the original one I purchased when the game came out (I lost that one too), it's one I found used in 2007. The earliest purchased game I still have is Emerald, which I got in 2006.

Sydian March 13th, 2017 8:04 PM

I do! I have a copy of Green as well. 8) All of them still work, though my copy of Red had to have the battery replaced last year. And I think Green's battery was replaced before I bought the copy.

Tsutarja March 14th, 2017 6:25 PM

I have three of them! Unfortunately, my Yellow has been dead for over ten years now but amazingly enough both my Red Version and my Blue Version cartridges are still working to their best extent.

Itcheeee March 17th, 2017 1:06 PM

I have all of them, but I only got them a few years ago actually. Had to give them all a new battery before using them but they all work just fine.

Black-Tigress March 17th, 2017 2:08 PM

Nah, I have the original Fire Red cartidge though..and Emerald from my ex.
I wanna get the Blue version and the Crystal version for when I get my custom Gameboy Color sometime.
..I'm only getting Blue version for the missingno glitches and such...

Reshiram643 March 17th, 2017 5:15 PM

I have all 3 and the batteries are working!

tamanaphy March 19th, 2017 1:27 PM

I still have Yellow, but it doesn't work (sad), but my Blue and Red do!

Sylphiel March 19th, 2017 2:41 PM

I'm pretty certain I still have my blue version (as in, I definitely know it's my blue version, not anybody else's). I think I lost track of my yellow version somewhere years back, so even though there's two yellow versions here I think neither are mine. I could be wrong.

And those still worked (both the blue and the yellow) last time I checked. Which was still a few years ago from now, so it's possible they don't work anymore, but I know for certain they did before since I even started a new game on one of the yellows. Checked to make sure it could save and all that before I got too far.
