Never have. :( I want to though!! I love old games and I love Green sprites. They're so ugly they're fabulous. Plus I'm OCD about my main game collection and without Green, I feel really incomplete.

Same here! I haven't been buying any games lately (saving for a new gaming PC).

I have most of the main gen games, in English. I have Gold in Japanese, and I plan on getting one of each copy all the main series games in each English/Japanese, possibly moving on to European versions afterwards.

I've only ever played the ROM version, and I think its awesome that you actually have the cartridge. But something that would also be super cool, is if an American actually owned a rare copy of the Japanese Blue Version.

I believe I played a ROM of the original Green that was stuffed in a fake cartridge that I bought on holiday in Spain. It definitely had a Yellow ROM (which I played before buying the real thing a few months later) but I'm pretty sure it had a Green one as well. Suffice to say, I can't really remember anything of it, unfortunately.

I've only played a ROM of Pokémon Green before. I did it for a Venusaur solo challenge and I finished it in a school day. It was really confusing with all the translations and character limitations.

Now that the controversy with Sydian has been cleared :D :

If you want to try out Pokémon Green in English, just go here: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/876/

Note: This is a patch for a ROM of Pokémon Red, it's the same link I posted before.
You have to apply the .ips file contained in the zip to a clean Pokémon Red ROM, which you have to get somewhere else. To do so use "Lunar IPS" for example.

Been playing this, was gonna try and message the creator to see if I could get the ips. posted here, for what seems like such a simple a lot of work clearly went into this :)

I haven't yet. Someday I plan to even if I won't actually understand the Japanese.

Green was my first ever Pokemon game. There are many memories in it. XD I never knew that there was a 'new green' and 'old school green'. I only knew of the first Japanese one until now.

I don't see why I'd play a majorly text based game I can't even read.
Come on, it's not like you need to be able to read Green to play it nowadays, you're bound to know the story.

Yeah I've got Green, it's fun because it's so terrible! It's quite endearing, and some of the sprites are just shocking...

Green is good to own for pride and bragging rights only. Alot of the pokemon you can find in the international blue/red versions have to be unlocked through trading in green, such as Jinx. There's slight alterations in 2 maps, but that's a localization issue, not a difference in color as well as a few extra glitches.
