    Yeah i still play it.
    In fact, just yesterday i beat red with all lvl 55 pokemon.
    They were houndoom, ampharos, gyarados*,tyranitar,dragonite, and pinsir.
    He was really pitiful since i killed most of them with tyranitar.
    and i got me a kanghaskhan by evolving my missingno. from red.

    I've been playing Pokémon Yellow recently on my Game Boy at college. Takes me back to 10 years ago and it's also a hell of a lot better than G/S/C/R/S/E/D/P.

    I've got a Red and Blue to complete afterwards too!

    I would love to play it again but I've only got a DS and it doesn't work on DS, plus I'm playing Fire Red which is pretty similar, so I'm playing the equivalent.

    If there is a store near you called Game Crazy (it's connected to Hollywood Video) take a peek in there. They sell old consoles for really cheap. See if they have a decent priced GBC

    Or eBay, I got a game boy and two super mario land games for £11.50 recently.

    (Don't like the GBC at all.)

    • I got bored with my blue version long ago, and put it away. But just recently I picked it up, and am already in the Victory Road. I was hoping to get all my pokes to level 100 before I beat the E4, but it probably won't happen..

    • I would be playing them off of an Emulator (cuz theres no way i'm gonna try to enjoy my Pokemon then having the game end up dying) but then I can't think of any way to trade Pokemon with a friend to get them all and i'm definetly not cheating/hacking so idk. Best games ever I must admit though, alongside with the classic G/S/C.

    They won't end up dying. Emulators provide about 1% of the awesome experience of playing Pokémon R/B/Y. Although it depends on what kind of standards the user has, I'd rather play with my green through dark blue screen than an emulator.

    They will die, because half of my games already have, and I'm not just talking about GSC. My blue or red I can't remember which already died and I'm not risking that again. Emulators still give the same exact thing even if it's not through a Gameboy.

    Yes. Playing Red at the moment, again. I'm on the SS Anne at the moment. If it interests you I'm playing it on my big old grey gameboy.

    I got Yellow and Gold today. Yellow works perfectly, but Gold needs a new battery, along with my Silver and Crystal versions. On Yellow, I just got the Rainbow Badge and am now on Cycling Road, all in six or seven hours of gameplay.

    • Oh how I miss those days.
    Sadly, I do not know where my original Red, Blue, and Yellow versions went. I would really love to play them again. Perhaps I will go to the local Gamestop and see if they have some. :D

    To answer you question, no I don't play them anymore.
    However, I direly want to.

    • -raises hand-
    Uhm, yeah, I have red. I found blue version on the floor at my school and quickly snatched it up and stole it before anyone could see me. I ended up giving it to my friend Evan.

    • my first post on this site. hm.

    just got to radio tower in gold with following pokemon

    Haunter - Lv27 (I'm thinking about getting rid of him)
    Ariados - Lv28 (I've never kept a bug pokemon this late in the game, but I like this one a lot)
    Flaaffy - Lv27 (Pretty much the norm electric type for me in gold)
    Togepi - Lv30 (Ugh can NOT get it to evolve, I've given it lots of lovin too)
