How many of the physical games do you still have in your possession? Do you still have the Pokémon games you owned as a kid?

One of the things I'm probably most proud of is how I've refused to let any of my physical copies of Pokemon games slip away over the years, so I've still got all the boxes & cartridges I had as a kid! That would be: Crystal, FireRed, Ruby, Emerald, Pearl, Platinum, SoulSilver, White, X, Omega Ruby, Moon, Sword, PMD: Red Rescue Team and seeing as I bought the limited box for VC Silver, I like keeping that box around as well :)

DS: Diamond, Platinum, SoulSilver (with PokéWalker), Black and Black 2
3DS: X, Y, Alpha Sapphire, Sun and Moon
Wii: PokéPark and PokéPark 2
I bought some of the older games online because I wanted to play them physically.

GameCube: Colosseum
Personally, I rather own the actual games instead of playing them on emulator unless it's for YouTube videos.

I have all the games I had as a kid which is basically just LeafGreen and Diamond (only played Ruby/Emerald on an emu) and more recently, Alpha Sapphire, X, and S + UM. I've switched to digital with the Switch though and probably wouldn't go back.

I have GBA: Ruby, Emerald
DS:Diamond, Black, White 2, All 3 Ranger games, Explorers of Time
3DS: X, Omega Ruby, Ultra Sun, and Rumble Blast
Gamecube: Colosseum, Gale Of Darkness
Switch: Sword
Digitally I have Alpha Sapphire, Yellow, Red, Silver, Crystal, Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeoun
Gen I: Blue, Yellow, and Pinball. My original Red is long gone unfortunately, but Yellow and Pinball are both my original launch games!
Gen II: Silver and Crystal. Both bought at time of release.
Gen III: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Colosseum, Link, and Mystery Dungeon Blue. Ruby is a US copy because it came out months before and I found a shop that imported it for an astronomical price (about £50 IIRC) and bought it because I couldn't stand the wait. xD
Gen IV: Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, SoulSilver, two copies of HeartGold, Explorers of Time, Darkness, Sky, Battle Revolution, and all three Ranger games. Diamond, Platinum, SoulSilver, and Darkness are all US copies.
Gen V: Black, White, Black 2, White 2, Rumble Blast, and Conquest.
Gen VI: X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Rumble World, and Super Mystery Dungeon. X is actually my second copy, after my first corrupted for no reason and I lost about 15 years worth of Pokemon...
Gen VII: Moon, Ultra Moon, and Let's Go Pikachu.
Gen VIII: Sword and Rescue Team DX.

So all together, that's...43? Oof. Would have been 45 but I sold my copy of XD a long time ago and I'm not counting the copy of Pokemon Typing we have because that's technically my brother's. xD

My first game was Pokemon Leaf Green (for GBA). I also have Pokemon Black(for NDS). But, after I got PC Emulators like VBA and DeSmuMe and Citra OpenGL, I have almost all of them.

All of them. I kept every single version I've owned (though I have sold duplicate copies) and they stay in a box next to my cabinets. The only one I'm missing is Pearl and I *know* it's somewhere I just have to find the bloody thing.

Yellow; Crystal, Gold, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire red, Leaf green, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HG, SS, Black, white, B/W 2, Sun/Moon, Omega/Alpha, Sword/Shielf, X/Y--
My point is. I have every copy besides Red/Blue. Between myself and sibling, we try to collect all of the physical copies of Pokemon games.

Only ones we do not have are like the side series games, such as Mystery dungeon or Rangers or Stadium. We have the first two stadiums tho and a few Mystery dungeons.

god. let me think lmfao

red, blue, yellow, green, gold, silver x2, crystal x2, ruby, sapphire x3, emerald x2, firered, leafgreen, diamond, pearl, platinum, heartgold x2, soulsilver, white x2, black, white 2, black 2 x2, x, y, omegaruby, alphasapphire, sun, moon, ultrasun, ultramoon, let's go eevee, sword...so that's 39.

spin offs uh. tcg, stadium, stadium 2, snap, colosseum, gale of darkness, revolution, PMD red...i used to own ranger, like three more PMD games, and the art studio game. oddly for a big puzzle league fan, i only rented it and don't own it. it's not like it's expensive either idk i just don't have a copy. so anyway, unless i've forgotten something, that puts my total at 47. used to be higher but i got to a point where i needed money more than a game rotting on my shelf lol.

i should mention that nearly all of these were purchased at the time of release and are my original copies of the game, aside from yellow. i do not have my original yellow anymore, i lost it when i was still a kid. what i have currently is a copy my aunt got me when she told me to pick out a christmas present on ebay so my nerd ass KNEW what i was doing sdlakfjdslaf. the extra copies i own are typically just japanese copies, except the extra silver is french. and the three sapphires lmfao one english, one french, one japanese. the extra emerald and heartgold are both english, mostly just for storage purposes as i do not like to migrate pokemon out of their original generation. and all the gen I and II games were purchased during gen III, but they are the first copies i owned so like. original to ME, but i didn't buy them OG in box.

Hm…
Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, Soul Silver, Black, White, Black 2 (x2), White 2 (x2), X (x2), Y (x2), Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Ultra Sun (x2), Ultra Moon, Let's Go Pikachu, Sword, Shield. That's just as far as the main series goes. Too lazy to run through spinoffs. Unfortunately I can't find my copies of Sun or Moon...

As for the spin-offs: Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, Ranger, Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Colosseum, and Battle Revolution.

Still got all the games I played as a kid, except Sapphire (but Emerald & Alpha Sapphire more than make up for it).
