Sometimes you have games, and then you feel the need to not delete them because of your efforts, so you buy a second game so you can play the games again without the need to delete them. Sometimes, you just mysteriously get more than one copy of the game, and have no idea of how you got it? SO the question is simple.

Do you have any multiples of your Pokemon games?

Please don't mention games which have the different colour counterpart either. One time, I had Ruby and Sapphire, and lost the Sapphire version somewhere, and I didn't know what happened to it. I was going through my games a while ago which wasn't that long after that incident, and realised that I now had two copies of Pokemon LeafGreen which was really awkward and weird. Everyone I knew who had Leafgreen still had their copy, so I have no idea who this second LeafGreen belongs to. It's odd to how I got it, but oh well. :P

Do I? Yes.

I have two copies of Pokemon Sapphire- one is a legit cartridge, and one is pirated. I knew the pirated one was a fake when I bought it- that's actually the reason I bought it. (That and to experiment with it. :D)

I don't have any more though. (Although I have a copy of PMD - Explorers of Time and PMD - Explorers of Sky... that probably doesn't count, though. :D)

I have two Emeralds, one for storage, one for playing through. Same with Diamond. And I have had two copies of Pearl and lost both of them. So the next one I get will be my third. I've also had two copies of Yellow. The first was my first Pokemon game and I lost it, and I still have my second copy.

Nope. Unless the game file becomes corrupted or some other freak event happens of a similar nature, I don't really see the need to buy two games, at least for me personally. And even then, it would feel less like two games and more like one broken bit of plastic and one game. For the most part, I don't even buy the corresponding game to go with whichever one I have purchased (in the olden days, my brother would buy the other one and we'd occasionally trade, but not any more).

Yeah, actually.. I've got about 2/3 Pokémon Yellows, as well as Gold & Silver. Oh and 2 copies of Platinum :P
If you class Japanese White then two Pokémon whites ;)

Nope, none. Can't really see myself ever intentionally paying money for something I already have. I don't even buy other-color versions / alternate versions of games and since I'm not in the habit of receiving games as presents I don't expect I'll ever have multiple copies.

I have two copies of nearly every poké game. I like restarting through the game, when I'm bored. The other copy would be my storage for competitive battling/pokés that are good and so on.

I just wait for the next generation to come out, and then use the transfer to get all my fave Pokes into the new game, then restart the old games.

In reality, if I had to have two of anything to play my games optimally, it would be two of the same system, or a future system that has backwards compatability with them.

Noob out.
