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 !@#$%.
* BlueMonkey 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.

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.

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 :(

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.

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 :(
