That totally reminded me of my first Pokémon game. <3 I decided to split the payment for a used GBA SP with my parents (it was like $90 overall or something, not in good condition but still operational - I'm looking at it right now) because I was wandering around Toys R' Us and went "OMG DRAGON!" when I saw FireRed Version's cover. XD I was freaking out about it until I finally got it...YEAHHH!! of course.. i still remember that day waay back at early 2005?? i was saving money to buy myself a gameboy (yeah i know lame right??.. i was 8!) and a pokemon game.. i didnt know what game to get so i got the one that looked the coolest lol! so i started my pokemon adventure on that evening and it was a BLAST!! my pokemon that really was my friend was my Blaziken! but thinking about it now i feel bad for my other pokemon since they were all lvl 10?? and i never paid attention to them :D lolz!!!
