So the most amazing thing happened. One of us brings a Gameboy to school with a copy of Pokemon Blue. Then another guy brings in Red. Then I bring in my copy and Yellow. And now practically every guy in the grade who owned Pokemon in their youth is bringing their pokemanz to school. It's like a training/battling/trading bonanza. It's pretty awesome.
The only rules are:
- If you bring anything newer than a Gameboy Colour, y'suck and,
- If you bring anything newer than Pokemon Yellow, y'suck.
And yeah, that's the Phenomenon of the Day.
-
Holy !@#$%./me moves to... you live in Australia, right?
I'll bring my copy of Pokemon Yellow and my Game Boy Color, in my pokemon case. It's in this room, and I'm looking at it as I type. I'll pack my bags.
-
I am assuming that were you said "older" you meant "newer", but that is alright. I lent my Gameboy Color to my friend once and his dog destroyed it and his brother now has my Pokemon Red. I should have another Gameboy Color somewhere though, but meh.
-
:P until you guys realize that your save batteries are going to or have already died, and you cant save your progress anymore lol

Whoa, you're right. What stupid English.
Meh, I had three exams today >____>, cut me some slack.
But yeah, it's great fun sitting around doing not much else than giving each other advice on what moves to teach and which Pokemon to grab. It doesn't feel at all geeky, because it's so retro.
:P until you guys realize that your save batteries are going to or have already died, and you cant save your progress anymore lol
I already know my copy of Yellow does that. So I gotta finish it before it happens XD
-
There was a group at my school that started this year... about 50 people in it. Some kind of pokemon club :p
I think it got shut down though >__> lol
-
XD I remember when Pokemon Red and Blue first came out; I was in like 5th grade or 6th grade XD... we had a pokemon club; to join we had to know 10 pokemon names XDXDXD
-
I remember a 'cool' guy who was on the football team always used to bring his Pokémon to my gym class and all the guys would love it for some unexplainable reason. Of course, the one time I can dazzle people with my Nintendo knowledge, it just so happens nobody cares :(
-
XD I remember when Pokemon Red and Blue first came out; I was in like 5th grade or 6th grade XD... we had a pokemon club; to join we had to know 10 pokemon names XDXDXD
Back when I was in sixth grade I knew the pokerap by heart.
I'm dead serious.

You're my !@#$% hero.
But yeah, I honestly can't remember a time when Pokemon wasn't cool, at least among my friendship group. Damn we're awesome.

Yea when I was young I did too... ah the good old days.
-
I know that none of my group would talk about it in a good way unless it's 1 on 1 conversation, with no one in hearing distance. Or something.
-
That happened last year in my school. In fact, I brought in Zelda OoA to play in a study hall once, and some people saw my Gameboy and excitedly rushed over asking "Are you playing pokemon?!!!!!!!!?". When they saw it was "just Zelda" they became disinterested and left. ;P

god damn, I could recite all (at the time) 151 pokemon.... in order!
Not like I recited it every night or something, I used to have a poster with all the pokemon and their corresponding names + numbers.
Back in highschool, I put GBA emus on all the computers in computing class, the favourite roms were the pokemon roms of course, everyone got really into pokemon again, just not really outside of that class.
People would only talk about it sarcastically, but once it was time for that class, everyone turned into a pokemon nerd.

Gawd, I !@#$% hate people like that. If you like something, don't pretend you think it's stupid. !@#$% losers.

I really should reignite this in my dorm. :D
We've begun playing Age of Empires II here again. We have several huge LANS per week of 6 or more players in a game. It's funny how an RTS from 1999 has still never been surpassed.
-
I did this with a friend at secondary school.
We were sat in the middle of the school field having a battle (i won) and loadsa chavs came over saying "haha what you playing, pokemon? losers..."
Then the next day loadsa people were playing it with us.

I would gladly join in if such a fad arose in my group in college :D
Unfortunately that's just plain fiction :(

lulz, this happened over here a few years ago XDD

Back when we all had laptops, my friends and I would do pretty much the same thing in Red Alert 2.

AoE 2 = Fun, Starcraft = not
Not that i play RTS games anymore.
-
I never played AoE, but god damn Starcraft is awesome. Warcraft II as well. Maybe I should give it a shot some time.
Anyway, I can't imagine something like this happening with my circle of friends. Back in 6th grade I was a closet pokemon player in a way. I didn't hide it, but I didn't ever bring it up either. None of my friends at the time had any interest in it so I never really had the opportunity to talk about it. It's the same now really, none of my friends are willing to play anything besides FPSs or sport games. I couldn't get anyone to even TRY Super Mario Galaxy, which is just sad.
Anyway, at my local mall they used to have card tournaments once and a while that I'd participate in. I think I won a few times actually, but I'm not sure... Do any of you remember when Burger King had pokemon toys with their kids' meals and would have a weekly "pokemon night"? I used to go to that also.
-
AoE2 will forever beat Starcraft DOWN. But WarCraft 2 is stil the best RTS ever.
-
I feel out of place now.... I never got into the Pokemon craze... I got into Digimon, instead...
*sigh* To have that again...
-
I emulate Red on my DS but that's about it. I still need to finish it actually.
I never owned an actual Pokemon cartridge since I didn't get a Game Boy until the GBA came out and had lost interest in Pokemon by that point.

If you think slow as !@#$% base building is "fun".
Not my cup of tea.

AoE2 ftw!! Omg I want to be in your dorm... Ours just has this group of Super Smash Bros addicts and if you try to get in their game you get a "!@#$% you go away" >.< But I remember some friends of mine last year when I was in High School brought in their GBC's with Pokemon and reignited the craze among the band room (I was amazed though... someone had a Mew... I still want one *pout*)
-

You say slow as !@#$% base building, I say extreme preparation for epic, tactical combat. StarCraft is a great game though, no doubt.

Haha! We're all Smash Brothers players here (and Mario Kart!), but we are very friendly. Sometimes we get so into it people from other floors are attracted to the noise, and come to join us.
-
Lolz I still play Pokemon all the time. It's amazing, but the save battery on my blue version still hasn't died. I think the clock battery on my gold version though is almost toast =\
-
I wish people around here were interested in gaming.
-
Oh, and just so you guys know...
My Nidoran♂'s nickname is "Source" n____n.
-
Gold & Silver > Red & Blue
Fact.
-
Gold & Silver > Red & Blue
Fact.
I don't disagree, but I love Red and Blue too.
I don't like Yellow though. It's a shame I'm stuck with it.

I also think the originals are better, but the Advance generation is even better than that. I luuuuurve Leaf Green, and Emerald. Too bad I can't play them fully on an emulator, 'cause after you beat the Elite Four there's no way to save your progress. *cries* I wanna go to the Battle Frontier.

Visual Boy Advance save states, or screw around with the save types until you find the right one.

I loved these originals... I spent so much time on trying various cracks/cheats. This was back in my non technical days, I constantly hunted for Mew(back when the theories were to talk to guy x 500 times, then go to place A, etc...), I did as many as I could, cause back then games had secrets like that, not these !@#$% ant acheivements, god I hate those... they're worthless. But yeah, I believed that mew was in the game, pokeGods(I sooo wanted that to be real, if i could do a ROM heck, i'd add it in there *shakes fist*)... i had the no clip thing from the game shark, so i'd explore what I could.... good times...

Actually you can get mew in red/blue there is a bug with trainers that are just out of sight. I think it's the gambler (the one sitting by the underground pass near Saffron City) on route 8 that if you press start just as you get in range, you'll go to the menu then fly back to lavender town, (not sure if it needs to be lavender town but thats what I always use) then exit back on to route 8 and as you do the menu will come up, exit it, then you'll battle mew (it's level 7 I believe). you can also fight other pokemon if you do this on other trainers (again all level 7). Try it, it's purdy neat.

I did that. I had two Mews in my party; one for fighting, one for HMs (and also fighting, but will crappy moves).

lol why do I get the impression that I'm the only one here who's gotten a mew legitimately XD... The mall was having a contest thing, winner got a mew lol... bah I was young :'(

I don't have a Mew period. I did have all 150 Pokemon on Blue version legitly, but my sister erased my data.

<_< that doesnt count as legit lol
The specialness of Mew is that he was only meant to be given out for Nintendo contests lol... I was a habitual Nintendo contest goer; hooray for Star Fox Championship Weekend! I won like 4 tees and like 81291212 pins XD
-
I got a Mew legit.
My cousin got one and I stole his cartridge and traded it over XD. Then I cloned it in Silver and there were Mews for everyone.
Hey, sharing is caring.
-
I could never go to the contest, so i never got a legit mew. I did however trade my cousin for his, and I've also abused the "level 7 Mew Glitch" before. It impressed my friends. ALOT. (they dont really do the whole, glitchs and stuff)

Curse you hof, you've gotten me playing pokemon yellow on my GBC again...
too bad I don't have a school to play it in these days

I agree, just randomly show up at a school, sit down next to a group of small children, and be like "Sup. You like Pokemon? You want to go for a ride in my van? I have candy". >_>
Anyway, I would be playing on my GBC because of this topic, but I gave it away when I bought a GBA, and I would be playing it on my GBA, but I gave it away when I bought a DS. I don't have a DS anymore because it was stolen, (four of them actually), so that rules out playing Pokemon... :'(
-
Buy a gameboy NOW.
It's the ONLY way to play Pokemon.
... cept at night.

I always hated that
My Parents: Sure you can play your gameboy, but the lights stay off
Me: ): How do I do that
My Parents: I dunno you should probably just go to sleep
That is why I got the light thing for the gameboy color

I saw that... that didn't exist back when I was into pokemon, but hooray for abusing the code.
I knew of the gameshark links, but I was obsessed with 'It has to be in the game' Hell the code was there, they should of just left it the way it was.
Oh and Pyro... that's so friggin awesome, I hope they actually go through with it.

Well, being as it looks like Pyro may be one of them, though I'm not sure, I'm sure he is hoping so too.
But yeah, I've been playing Pokemon Red and Blue since I go them at a used game store recently. It actually feels great to get reacquainted with the original games of the series, and so much easier to catch all the pokemon since they are all possible to find right in the game. =P
Which reminds me of something interesting I did with Pokemon Diamond/Pearl and Datel's Max Media Player, but I won't go into that here.
