2nd Gen Completely dead?

    I never play RYB (sadly), but I don't think that the second generation can completely die, like, ever. I still play Crystal more than all the other games combined, and while I haven't tried the IV or V generations yet, I still find it better than RSE.

    I mean, it's probably because people have a hard time changing their likes and dislikes so I never really gave Gen III a fair try but still, I like Generation II a great deal and I'm sure there's other folks like me out there (or most probably in here) so, as far as I and we are concerned, GSC ain't dying anytime soon.

    I wish I still had all my old games :( I used to have every version up to Emerald, but my DS and Gameboy and all of my games where stolen last year, and I just got a new DS and some games a few months ago. Now all I have are LeafGreen, Emerald, Diamond and SoulSilver.

    I want all of them again, so I've been looking around online for them. The ones I miss the most are Yellow and Silver. I have them as ROMS on my computer, but I can't seem to get very far. It's just not the same.

    I see mine as being ancient.

    Haha, but really I hardly ever play them anymore. One reason being I can't find my Gameboy Advance, so yeah :/

    Though they are old, and they have been remade, I still like the keep them for memory purposes. Good times...

    Actually in my math class about a week before the finals, while I was playing HeartGold for some random training, a friend of mine was playing blue version on the old Gameboy Color. It was actually pretty cool to see it and look at how far we've come. Though I always loved the surf sprite from the old versions since it looked like the player turned into a seel-like thing.

    I believe she was in Cinnabar Island, and taking a Charizard, Dewgong and some others.

    Nevah! I actually play them more than I do B/W or HG. 3 years ago I was obsessed with my w/ my DS and Diamond. After stupidly saving inside a fountain because of WalkThruWalls, I decided to give it a break. Dug out my GBA, and my FR, then bought Yellow and Blue (Save's dead) and I play that. I'm aiming to get Silver and Ruby and my collection will be complete. Maybe I'll try a pirated english Green as a sidequest.

    I'm guilty of abandoning my old games for the most part. :x
    However! I did play through Silver and Emerald the whole way last year! It was such nostalgic fun, I really enjoyed it. ^__^

    I think sometime this year I'll start from Gen 1, and replay them all the way up to Gen 3 again.
    I'm starting to miss the nostalgia. ;;

    Silver is seriously all I've been playing as of late. I'm actually making plans to customize my gameboy color soon. I pick up pearl, but I can't handle slugging through the quest line for the fifth time. However, no matter how many times I play through silver I never grow tired of it. And me and my friends have compiled a gameboy club, so I get occasional battles out of it. None of my friends are any good though.

    I see them as classics! I pick em up every once in a while and feel so much great nostalgia. Therefore I believe they'll never die and will remain the base of the great series that it Pokemon.

    I haven't played any of my Gen I/II games for a long while now. Probably because that when I did pick up my Gold version, I found out that the in-game clock died. Never touched them since.

    I stopped playing the originals when FR/LG came out, and I stopped playing Generation II when I lost them/batteries died, but I'd still love to play through all of them again. Recently seeing the old sprites from RBY have given me a lot of nostalgia and I think I'll pick those games up again sometime...if I can find them.

    It's pretty cool that we can have ROMs for them now so they never have to die completely. I still have my old games but lost my old GBC (clear purple lolz) otherwise I would have definitely fired up blue version for the nuzlocke challenge.

    I can't find any of mine except for my red, and my sister's dead silver.
    I downloaded a Rom the other day of blue to mess around with Missingno.

    I gave away my old game boy advance SP to my relatives in Jamacia, so I don't have these games anymore. And yes, even though Black and White are in the Horizon, I will always remember them because those were what interested me in pokemon in the first place. My first game being pokemon Yellow; followed up with Blue [never did played Red]. I also remember these games, because its kind of how I met my first friends; we used to play pokemon Gold and Yellow together; used to complain how hard the Elite four was in Yellow, and how tough the Ice Cave was in Pokemon Gold. These games are classic; I'd sooner play them again, if I'd ever had one of these games and a game boy classic or something; to bring up a little nostalgia before tackiling the new generation. :3

    I play my Silver and my Yellow every now and again. Sometimes I play Red, Blue, and Crystal, but Silver and Yellow were always my favourites, and always will be.

    They don't just gather dust on my shelf :)

    I pretty much hate any pokemon game pre Gen III. I find then far too basic.

    So, they are dead in the section of games that are obsolete.
