So I'm Playing Yellow . . .

[Arjun - PeeB4UGo]

. I'm currently playing my Yellow version over again, and I didn't realize how much I was missing . I don't know why I stopped. I started a year ago, then gave up at the Pewter Gym . Then I restarted a couple of weeks ago, and I'm having so much fun! So I encourage you all to pull out your GB/GBC/GBA/GBASP/emulator and play your RBY game!

Anyways, how many of you are currently playing a Gen I game? Which one, and what do you like most about it?

Don't let the spirit of crappy Gen I graphics and the lack of running shoes (and the use of the select button, and the interaction of HMable items, etc.) cause the RBY spirit to die!

I restarted my old Red version at some point, as it seems to be only half done or so at the moment. My Yellow version has a pretty nice save, though... 151 seen & caught, PC boxes organized by elemental type (with Legendaries in Box 1) with every Pokemon (not 151 total, though; just the highest evolved form of each species plus Pikachu) at level 100.

These were really fun games, though. My Silver and Crystal games still see some use, as well.

My save file for Crystal unfortunately some how corrupted.

my crystal has ho-oh

which is hard since you have to catch all 3 legendary dogs then beat the elite 4 1 more time. then go to the tower where ho-oh is in other versions

I just started playing through yellow recently (after figuring out how to get the stupid thing to save on my supercard), so we'll see how it goes.

I plan on playing through every game from R/B/Y to D/P/Pt and trying to complete them each to the extend that the game allows (since they're on my SCSD and unable to trade between packs. I might try with an emulator at some point, but I'm not sure yet.)

I tried playing it on my GBC, but couldn't get into it anymore. Feels too old

I'd rather try to finish with Platinum.

I played through about half of Crystal a few weeks ago.

Can someone send some good graphics back in time to nintendo?

I prefer the G/S/C Gen myself. During R/B/Y I was like "OMG POKEMON!" So I loved them, but by the time G/S/C came about I was more conscious of the game itself, and not just another franchise fanboy.

Also competitive battling in R/B/Y was kinda boring, only something like 20 pokemon were even usable. G/S/C expanded on that a lot I feel.

Nostalgic value = epic win. I love this game! Even if I prefer GSC for its innovations, there is a LOT in RBY that the other generations are... missing :-/

I'm playing Yellow again. I fixed the battery after it broke a while ago.

Pokemon Red + Super Gameboy + Super Nintendo = Win

Heck, I can Play it on my Gameboy player or my Original Gameboy even. I'm suprised that this many of us even have ways of playing GEN 1 games, much less the games themselves. It seems the younger generation of Pokemon fan isn't really into the classics. It's a shame, really.

Dragonite was a God in RBY.

Dragonite was a God in RBY.

Not really. It was okay though, but not that great. Agility + Wrap combo was annoying though. It had no good STAB moves either, seeing how Dragon Rage was the only Dragon move of that time.

I just bought Pokemon Yellow again today, (took long enough). I looked for like 2 months. But I'm loving it at the moment. Still only have Pikachu but he's my favorite anyway.
