    You’re either Pokémon red or you’re dead to me.

    All jokes aside the original game was the best but crystal wasn’t too bad. I didn’t really get to play it too much though honestly.

    I don’t have anyone to play with so it’s kind of pointless to go through and not be able to trade with someone to get the Pokémon’s I want or fight any real battles.

    The best part of red and blue was that everyone else was also playing it when I was a kid. So I could battle my friends on the school bus and trade Pokémon. That’s what made the game so enjoyable and I’m sure that’s why a lot of crystal fans feel the same about their version of the game.

      I don’t know what kind of game this is. In my region, they were selling Pokemon cards everywhere. They were in opaque bags and it was great luck if you got a card with a rare Pokemon.

      We exchanged duplicate cards for those that we do not have in our collection. Some guys imagined a Pokemon battle and argued about whose Pokemon won. 😅

      There were also game pieces that had to be hit on a flat surface, and if they turned over to the other side, then you took yours and your opponent’s piece for yourself.
