Yeah, because people can't read what forum this is and they reply to topics about newer games and I want to punch them in the face, cause this forum could really use good activity. PS though, whiting out a line and then saying I'll get mad isn't the best way to go around it. If your post is mainly on topic, there's no big deal. Don't try to be sneaky, cause that will make me mad. js. ;)
Anyway, all six of my older games work. I don't know how long they have left, though and sometimes I'm too afraid to turn them on and find out how they're doing. :/
Oh no, I completely understand why you would want to keep order, but I don't think that mentioning 3rd Gen games should warrant a locked thread, and I've seen a couple instances in different forums of this kinda thing happening. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, just some observations I've made.
In my opinion, there's a little
too much organization on this site. I could see how trying to find the right forum to post about a certain subject would become very tedious for newer members (like myself) and it would turn them off of the site. I can see how anything related to any Pokemon game could go into Pokemon Gaming Central, but there are subforums for each gen, then one for spinoffs. Idk, it's a little too specific for my taste. I usually hang around in the gen I and II forum, and only go to others for a very specific question or concern I have.
And I wasn't necessarily trying to be "sneaky," just highlighting it so only the people who are interested in knowing about something that doesn't belong in this section will read it. People who don't care would move on, and wouldn't jump off-topic to the other gens I was discussing. Sorry if that angered you at all, it was most certainly not meant to. <3
And, back on topic. You should definitely try your old games, even if they don't work, you can replace the battery and relive the feelings you felt when you first started playing. My very first game, Blue, still works. :D
And if I haven't said it before, gen I batteries last ~10-15 years, and Gen II about half of that, so ~5-7 years (due to the clock).
