1st Gen Do you still have your games?

[pkmin3033]

My copy of Yellow is upstairs in my bedroom somewhere, as is my copy of Pinball, and I have a copy of Blue as well. My original Red, though? Lord only knows where that is; I've not seen it in over a decade. I think I lost it when we moved house...

I still own my copies I got when I was younger-Blue, Yellow, Silver and Gold. We bought Red and Crystal on the way, it's nice little collection. Even though none are mint-the labels have wear where they've been taken out and put in the GB so many times I wouldn't get rid of them as they were part of my childhood

I have Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal. My Blue and Yellow actually still work quite well, but all three of my Johto games do not save anymore. I have Red, but I have no idea where it is. Which is sad because that was my first.

 

[SaniOKh]

I had all of them, I still do, and I have no intention of selling them.
I changed the batteries two years ago, so... I think the save feature still works :) .

 

[Wicked3DS]

I unfortunately have lost all of my Gen I and II games a long time ago :(

 

[Otamajakushi]

I do still have all of my original games. I also have backed up my save data for them as well. One of these days, Im going to replace all the batteries and put the sram data back on the carts.

 

[GalufKitten]

I have red, somewhere. i have a broken blue, somewhere

and i have a Yellow which battery still works :)

 

[DePyro]

I don't only have the old games (not my original ones mind you) but I actually run a business buying games that no longer save replacing the battery and then selling them once they save again. I save the perfect condition label ones for my personal collection. So far the only games I need in the GBC series are Crystal and Blue. I have all the others and replaced all their batteries, have 3 link cables and 2 GBA SP's. I play with myself :)

 

[major glory]

Hell yeah I do! Still have Pokemon Yellow Version, and my brother still has Red Version (he scratched off the sticker when he was a small child when we first got them...). We still have the Gameboy Colors we first played them on as well. Great memories :)

 

[DigitalMewtwo]

Still do. Red, Blue and Yellow. Silver and Crystal.

Sadly Silver and Crystal no longer work. :(

Here's to hoping that Game Freak brings Gold, Silver and Crystal out to the eshop someday :).

All these dying games... so tragic. </3

 

[Dunsparce]

I still have my Blue, Yellow, Silver, and Crystal. Also have Stadium and Stadium 2,and a Pokemon Pikachu 2, for the maximum experience. alongside having 2 GBCs, a Game Link Cable, a Gameboy Printer with Paper to spare, and a place that will replace dead batteries for me(And a Mega Memory Card accessory to reload old save files back onto my cartridges), I can pretend it's 1998-2001 for years to come.

All these dying games... so tragic. </3

And on a positive note, that isn't likely to happen in the 3DS re-releases.

 

[Smiffy01]

I still have RBY in cartridge form :P

 

[Arylett Charnoa]

I've never owned R/B/Y. So I don't have them. But I still have my copies of Gold and Silver, which are both dead. It's my hope they'll rerelease these on virtual console.

 

[Katchelina]

I actually never Owned the games. I borrowed my cousin's Blue and later Red versions since they didnt care about those files being erased(they mainly played silver at that point).
I dont have any of my old games actually :(

 

[Wizardling]

Still got my copy of Yellow! But I doubt I'll ever touch again, now R/B/Y are on 3DS with WiFi trading and Pokemon Bank support.

 

[ggctuk]

As Yellow was the second video game I owned (the first being Le Mans 24 hours for GBC) but having the distinction of being the first game I actually played on my first console, yes, I have indeed still got my original copy of Yellow. Unfortunatley I no longer have Blue, Crystal, Gold or Silver and I know Crystal died some time ago anyway.

 

[Golemrevenge]

I still have Blue and Yellow

Blue (luckily) still has my original save file that I competed in the Pokémon tour back in 2000. Got through a few rounds before I came up against a tricky Zapdos. I've tried to attach an image of the badges that were given out after each win. Battles took place on Stadium, three Pokémon each and Mew and Mewtwo were not allowed.

Not forgetting I still have the official Mew from that event.

Recently downloaded Blue for a nostalgia trip and to see if I've still got it...

 

[Palmer-Granate]

Lost my hard copies during an eviction or had them stolen from me, the oldest game I have is White.
