Oh man, I still remember the day I bought my Gameboy, and Red Version. My family had this yard sale, and I sold a BUNCH of my toys so I could afford my own stuff. (This is the first thing i bought with my own money.) So, we hopped in the car and drove to Best Buy. All my friends had Blue, and my parents tried to get me to get it, but I wanted to be different. (Plus, how do you choose a Blastoise cover over Charizard!?) We went to Denny's after Best Buy, and I played the game the entire time. Didn't eat a single bite...That seems so long ago. Also, I pre-ordered Yellow, and got it the day it came out, but I never got quite as attached to it. I eventually got blue as well, and once I got a GBA, I traded Pokemon back and forth between the two games...lol.
