the first game i played was blue but i didnt get it until emerald and the other two had already come out so i got a gameboy ruby and blue on one of my birthdays and then i eventually got emerald and sapphire as well then pearl and diamond on an r4 when they came out and then when platinum came out i got that two, then got both hg and ss but not ss till a year after they came out then i got white and getting black any day now. i just cant get enough pokemon and have progressed from that tiny gameboy to a ds then ds lite then finally dsi xl been a long journey but thats what pokemons about right, the journey, and now i can rest on my upgrades. i also recently discovered that snivy are awesome. hmm i just realised i talk a lot, but i guess thats what messaging is for right. im done now ;)
