I do and in my opinion, the graphics don't define the game, the gameplay such as the story line and such is what really matters. And plus, without these games, we would have D/P or R/S/E
Just saying.
What's your opinion?

I play them for the nostalgia. I get really old school with Green Version, too. First EVER POKeMON game. :)

What? Yellow was made after Red and Blue... how can it be the first?
Green was released a year before Red and Blue and it was never released state-side. ;)

NOTE: Gyarados looks high in Green Version. >.>;

Weren't Red and Green released at the same time in Japan? Their Green was just the same as our Blue, that's all. (And their Blue was the same as our Green--except we never got a Green Version :X) To be really technical, though, our Red and Blue were based on the Japanese Blue's engine with just the version exclusives of the Red and Green games, respectively. But enough of that.

I've played Red and Blue, but not much into Yellow. Out of them, I preferred Red. If I want to play the "old" games I usually stick to the 3rd Gen remakes, due to better movesets and stuff. Missingno. and Mew Glitch were always fun, though.
I play Pokémon Shiny Gold, and you should too!

Well this is in respect to the american Blue and Red versions... the only Japanese game I have in the series is Green.

But yes. Green and Red were released at the same time in Japan. The Red and Blue we know is just the 3rd game in the series, Blue, and a Red version of it. The POKeMON were redesigned to look better and some encounters were changed like the ability to catch a Lickitung in the wild and the Unknown Dungeon was totally redesigned.

Oh yes~ Though I don't play my Blue often because it's hard to train for the Elite Four in R/B/Y, I still play my Silver a lot. :3

Because... Johto > Every other region. Plus the fact you can go back to Kanto~ ^_^ Many more reasons, but yeah. XD;

If I could find any of my others I'd definitely play them, but for now I just have Red and I'm definitely playing it. I can't even really play post-Y2k Pokemon games because I just can't stay focused on them. RBYGSC any day, man. Brilliant, genius games they are, and the new ones only wish they could hold up to their glory.

Here's my story: I got Yellow when I was a kid. I didn't know what to do. I lost it, then found it. And now I'm playing it again so I can actually get far in the game. Also, when I first played Yellow, I couldn't find out how to get past the old guy laying on the ground. xD

Funny this should pop up actually, 'cos I found my Silver the other day (with it's 8-year old game, 'cos I never start new ones) and found that the file save had been corrupted. No doubt it was all that work with the old ActionReplay :) So I started it again, and I'm playing it now.

Out of the first generation, I would say I liked Yellow the best (don't hate me!!) because there were significant improvements over Red and Blue, and you had the added bonus of a Pikachu following you around (awwww! ^^)

The second generation... I would probably go for Crystal... I've always liked it best out of the others for some reason. I suppose this means I tend to like the special editions of things... well, maybe not. I always preferred Ruby and Sapphire to Emerald with it's botched bag system. :D
