What's the oldest Pokémon game cartridge you own?

[gimmepie]

Oldest one I have is Stadium for the N64. If we specifically mean handheld cartridges, I should still have my old Emerald and Leaf Green around somewhere. I had Sapphire before those but it died.

Bought Blue on Amazon a long time ago dirt cheap. It's the oldest. Also bought Gold at a vintage game store last year with a fresh new battery and it still works. I also have the two Stadiums for N64. Emerald with a busted battery is somewhere in my mom's house, or my brother has it.

Oldest and far youngest days was Gold/Sliver never understand about pokemon at early age, cartridge stay to this day with me was Y (I doubt it still works even I don't own 3DS anymore

In recent years I've wanted to complete my collection, so I've got Red and Blue, but my own oldest game is Yellow, got it 20 years ago for my birthday.

Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green, they were my very first Pokémon games, they aren't the original cartridges I owned, I had lost those over the years, but like 8 or 9 years ago I purchased them again. I'm pretty sure they still work but I haven't checked because I don't have a charger for my Gameboy SP at the moment.

The oldest one I own that is my original copy is Pokémon Platinum, and yes it still works

Leaf Green is my oldest cartridge that's currently in my possession.

Allegedly, my brother still has our copy of Blue, albeit with a dead save battery.

Non working, Yellow

Working, Sapphire

 

[Pyrax]

A Sapphire cartridge that I bought a couple of years ago. Internal battery aside it's authentic and still perfectly playable. But if we're talking cartridges we've owned the longest, then it'd be my LeafGreen cartridge from 2004.

 

[Palamon]

The Pokemon Emerald cartridge I took from my friend, lmfao.

 

[Jazzy]

I still have a physical copy of Pokemon Crystal. I unfortunately no longer have the console, though when I did the saving didn't work, so I had to leave it on and keep it charging

 

[agravedigger]

Black! curently I'm on the lookout for B2 or Platinum. I'd love to buy cartridges of my favorites of all the trios someday though! spinoffs too.

The first Pokémon game I played was Ruby, I think - I didn't even know the start button was a thing, to save I had to go to the Pokecenter, try to trade and fail, lol.

The first I played in a console was Diamond ... but it was an R4 cartridge.

The first I played with an actual cartridge was Pokémon X, I got it on an event during world wide launch even!

 

[Beheaded Cow]

My favorite game cartridge Pokemon silver has been with me since 2005. I got it a bit late but it's been with me all the way. I used to have a Yanma I particularly liked but the internal battery died and I couldn't save the game anymore. I play 3ds VC Silver but now I train only Wobbuffets.

 

[Loriania]

Soul Silver, Pearl on DS.

 

[Amore]

Emerald. Christmas 2005 was a game-changer!

 

[CresentAzure]

My Pokemon Sapphire cartridge, I still play it from time to time even though my DS doesn't want to work lately... (°_°)

 

[Finneari]

I've got a Crystal cartridge, which was my very first Pokémon game. I do have a Yellow as well—it came pre-owned so I don't know how old it is.

 

[Squirtle Bulbasaur]

I've got a Pokemon Red cartridge. Although it has a very badly faded label.

 

[Gardevoir1]

Emerald for me. Still works as, just the other day, I was looking at what team my child self built. Not bad gotta say
