Hae you ever been random enough to grab the old yellow and start it over just for fun?
i did that, except i got the rom, since i cant just go on ebay get both GBC& yellow and have it delivered in 5 seconds lol (would be cool if i could tho right? lol)

and im loving the simplicity of it, i actually missed how simple it was back then

did yo uguys ever do something like that with the good old colour games?

Well, I was doing a Psychic Monotype Run on Yellow. And I agree, it seemed... off or something. Certainly not like the new games with all the graphics and stuff. It had one color based on what route you were on, and that was it. Plus, all the attacks involved the same basic "shapes". Tons of attacks, like tackle, confuse ray, etc. had the little star thing, some of them like psychic had the screen shaking, and there was like one shape for every element like electric was a black circle, fire was a little fire, water was either a water drop or little geyser thing (for surf and hydro pump). But yeah, I definitely liked that, and actually didn't use the speed button at all, because I was just sort of amazed at what it used to be, and how much its grown.

Yep, nothing beats the old games.
I can still remember the times i ran around with my little Squirtle killing caterpies on Blue.

Now i'm pretty much running around with legendary pokemon killing the Elite Four on the newest games.

Oh, how time has changed.

I only play the old games now a days; they were masterpeices when they were first released, and still are today IMO. I've seen the newer ones and I feel that the newer pokemon don't hold the same originality.
a good point indeed, well said.

No, he's ontopic. The question is if you ever take out your old yellow just to play for the hell of it. He said he does, but only so he can appreciate the newer ones more...that's ontopic, even though he dissaggrees with your opinion, and mine as well.

Personally, I don't like the newer gens, and I just found my red version last week, so I've been playing that when I get bored with my PS3.

I lo vee my pokemans. I am very attatched to Gene my mewtwo on my yellow version. Im tempted to preemptively change the battery just so i dont lose them


You know what? This isn't about your feelings. A human life, with all its joys and all its pains, adding up over the course of decades, is worth far more than your brain's feelings of comfort or discomfort with a plan. Does computing the expected utility feel too cold-blooded for your taste? Well, that feeling isn't even a feather in the scales, when a life is at stake. Just shut up and multiply.

I like playing the old games just to bring back memories. There are just some things it gives me that the newer games do not.

My favorite memory is the first time I played Blue. I was really young and didn't know how to throw a pokeball, so I went through the entire game with just my Bulbasaur XD

I restarted my Blue recently just because I like playing through games as the Pokemon Special trainers. XD

I've done it for most of my games. I also wanted to see how scary the original sprites looked. They looked more like monsters back then. I really wanna play Green for that reason as well.

I want to embrace you, I want you to tell me
That you don't think this is a mistake
I want you to kiss me, I want you to remake me
I want to drown in this moment of captivation


I am drawn to you like a magnet
Even if I left, we would find each other again
I've touched you, I can never go back and that's just fine.
You are everything in the world to me

It's really weird how simple the game is though, I don't have to worry about natures, breeding, or any of those other things, its just so plain and simple.
That's the best part of it imo, and the main reason why I much prefer the first two generations of games to the later generations.

But to answer the OP, I like restarting the games from time to time whether its for a challenge or just for kicks. They're great games with high replay value.

I doubt i'll be restarting either Blue or Gold in the near future, what with me completing my Blue Pokedex and having racked up hundreds of hours on Gold.
