Well, I got Pokemon Ruby Version on launch day in America back in March 2003 (I was 10) and picked Mudkip as my starter. I used it on my team for that entire game, eventually evolving it all the way to a Swampert. After a long while I got the urge to restart my Ruby and play again but before I did I transfered my Swampert to Emerald. Later, when I got Diamond, I transferred it over to there and then to Platinum, then to HeartGold. Finally, it is now residing in my Black Version, fully trained, multiple ribbons, level 100.
The original save file of Ruby that my Swampert came from has long since been deleted but it still survives. This is a concept that I think makes the Pokemon series completely unique and honestly pretty amazing. I've had this Pokemon for nearly 10 years, in 6 different games. I really do hope that eventually remakes of Ruby and Sapphire will come out so I can trade Swampert over there and get him back to Hoenn. I mean how crazy is that to think about? Having a Pokemon being put back into a remake of the game it originally came from over a decade earlier?
I think it's really sad that they were never able to get R/B/Y/G/S/C to connect with Gen III but regardless, Swampert is my oldest/longest used Pokemon! What's yours?
Edit: I do have my first Crystal Version save from way back in the day (Meganium, Feraligatr, Typhlosion, Lugia, Arcanine, Red Gyarados). I don't have a Game Boy to play it on anymore so I haven't played it in years.
