Remember the good old days of Red, Blue, and Yellow? Gold, Silver, Crystal? I think that Graphics, and Battling has gotten to peoples heads, and thats all people care about now. This isnt a rant thread, I just want people to post their memories of events back in RBY and GSC. Im not talking about the games themselves, but the memories and the value of the time you put into them and things that involve them. People used to cherish that shiny pokemon...now they clone it holding a masterball and trade it. Lol, yep thats todays society in pokemon rather you want to face it or not.


This thread is just for people to post their memories of RBY and GSC and things beyond those games such as a spiritual value maybe. Not just graphics and so on...Thank you, and feedback would be really nice. Have a nice day!

There is truly only one thing I miss from the 1st and 2nd gen... and that's Yellow. Yellow was the second Pokemon game I'd ever played, (Blue was the 1st), and it felt sort of like the anime which made it more fun. Especially having Pikachu following you around all the time...

shawnbowlin, this is the second time today I've had to warn you about this. If you use that sort of language again, you will face a ban from the forum.

See, this is what I mean. People here understand whats behind the game, like I read that one post that said that they caught a spinarak at night and it brung back memories. See? 1 little thing brought back a flourish of memories for them of the good ol days. Im really in touch with that side of me, so it feels good seeing people say that sort of stuff.


Another thing, G/S/C remakes would be awesome but even then. They still wouldnt be the same...But they would still be cool lol.

I remember the good old days when IVs, EVs, Natures and Strategic Battling hadn't gotten through to me and my friends. We would battle with all out offensive teams against each other, and I remember being by far the best with my Chansey/Alakazam/Dragonite/Hitmonchan/Jolteon/Jynx team.

Good ol' memories :-)
My friends: You are all a friend of sean :P

The first game I played was Crystal and my friends played too. Later, no one seemed to like the games and no one wanted to battlle/trade. But now, D/P is here and people starts to play again. But still . . . I miss my Silver Pokémon and when we played silver/gold and yellow. We even had our own tournaments.

I remember when IV's and EV's didn't matter, and just having a lv.100 Pokemon made you an awesome trainer...

I also remember in G/S/C when I couldn't figure out that stupid switch puzzle in the Goldenrod underground area. (when you have to save the director.) I bought a game guide just for that...:(

Yeah I know what ya mean. I dont even know what Ivs are, and I am no good at Evs and their boring. Im playing Diamond, but if I knew those Pokemon games wouldnt die, I would play them.

Sorry to be slightly off-topic here, but how the heck can graphics play a role? D/P's graphics are mediocre and are absolutely nothing compared to that the DS can really do. o_O
