2nd Gen The old days...

[drivr3joe]

What were your memories from RBGY and GSC?

 

[PrismoStar]

I remember playing on the curb with my friend, battling and trading. We also had once a "race to the Elite Four" where we saw who could finish the game first. :P I lost.
I also remember my cousin coming over and showing me his Rayquaza, a Pokemon which back then I had no clue even existed.
Another thing was when me and my friend would hang out inside our secret bases. Fun times, indeed.
I can recall that my friend had to help me through Tin Tower xD

One last thing, I had Gold, he had Silver, I had Ruby, he had Sapphire.

That's all I can remember now.

My cousin and I, each lying on opposite ends of the couch with our gameboys. My family always jokingly called our Pokemon-playing "bonding," since we were silent and concentrating solely on the game. Unless, of course, something interesting happened on one of our games, like evolution music -- then we'd come to life. :D

Also, I was only 9 or 10 when these games came out, so my training strategy was rather interesting (or nonexistent, you could say). I always raised my starter to like level 80 and just had a bunch of level 25-ish Pokemon in my team. xD I remember beating the Elite Four with just Charizard.

Yep, that was me too. I had my starter and legendary at level 60-ish, and the rest at level 20 or so. xD

Me and my friend playing our gameboys pretty much the whole summer after the G/S release. We made some pretty innovative teams, and would trade each other to get the 'hot new evolutions' and exp bonus.

I also made the mistake of trading him my all-pwning level 100 Dodrio for a shiny lugia. Good trade, but I lost every link battle afterwords because that Dodrio could own my whole team.

I loved sitting at the park playing the games with my best friend..Good times...:)

[Ru-Kun]

I remember getting my Silver version, it was the first Pokemon game that was actually mine. My bro had a Yellow version that I had played, but I never had one of my own until I got Silver from Gamestop! I remember not being able to find Mr. Pokemon so I was just leveling up my Totodile a bunch! I miss those good times!

 

[Johto Legend 17]

I remember back when I was like 9 years old...I had Pokemon Crystal. I would play that game all the time at my Nany's (Grandma's) house. I would sit around playing the game...sometimes in my Nany's bedroom or living room lying on her bed or chair and would have the tv on Kids WB playing the game while waiting for a new episode of Pokemon to come on. I'd also eat snacks or food when I wanted too while playing crystal. When I hear the music from GSC I have a nostalgic moment from back then....too bad my Nany died in 2004....*Gets depressed*....

 

[magrathean]

"Borrowing" my mom's best friend's son's version of Blue, starting a new game, and giving all the Pokemon dirty names and then sneaking it back in his game case...

Ah, the good old days....

 

[Pokémon_Charizard]

Well, I still play Yellow but I can remember getting a GBC on holiday with my two friends and we all just sat there for 2 weeks playing it :D.

 

[xxxLatiasxxx]

When I was six years old and I had gotten Yellow for my 6th birthday.

 

[Sydian]

Being a little kid and losing to Brock by trying to use Thundershock because I decided to be stupid and not read that it didn't effect his Pokemon.

 

[Satelity]

I remember buying Yellow version from GameStop.
I also got one of those gummy Mario lollipops too. XD

 

[Xebelleon]

~Putting Pocket Pikachu 2 on top of the washing machine. I also taped it under my brother's Jolly Jumper to great effect, LOL

~Doing that PC cloning glitch from GS repeatedly.

~Catching a shiny Unown...

 

[dotKarma]

Pokemon Gold= First video game I ever owned. Too many memories to list them all, but I remember making my way to the Elite 4 with my Feraligatr and Ho-oh. Can't remember the rest of the party, ahaha.

Also, I was only 9 or 10 when these games came out, so my training strategy was rather interesting (or nonexistent, you could say). I always raised my starter to like level 80 and just had a bunch of level 25-ish Pokemon in my team. xD I remember beating the Elite Four with just Charizard.

Wait, you mean to tell me that I'm the only one that *still* uses that strategy?!

Wow...I wouldn't happen to be that friend, would I, lol. I did the same thing! 'cept I moved away before R/S/E came out.

 

[Sweet Smoochum]

I remember catching a Magikarp for the first time. (In Gold version.) I was like Oh my GOD THIS IS AWESOME! :D I loved my Chikorita. (T'was awesome in the anime.) I loved going back to Kanto. Misty had awesome hair and Gary was a gym leader?! OMG! Then, I battled Ash (Red) It was epic! (I thought it was Ash from the anime AT THE TIME. I know it's not, but can I please still call him Ash? It's the default name in RBY anyway.)

I remember not liking Red version very much. (Too much red everywhere. :P)

 

[Hamilton]

being 3 years old, not having any idea what the hell i was doing- good times........ i never found out how to play until i was 5 haha

 

[skeddles]

I got gold as my first game and started out with tododile. When my croconaw got lvl 28 I accidently replaced one of his good moves with scary face. I restarded my game and chose cyndaquil. I've used sire types ever since.
