Were you a silver or Gold kid

Gold kid
Silver adult
Silver has more interesting sprites and Skarmory

>>12297945
Silver.
>>
>>12297945
silver because lugia was being marketed more at the time and i took the bait. i ended up liking ho-oh more in the long run because i thought getting him at level 70 near the ass end of the game made him seem cooler and more mysterious.
>>
>>12297945
Crystal

>>12297945
Emerald.

Crystal bc some bastard stole my silver when I was 9, I hadn’t even got to 4th gym
>>
>>>/trash/

gold
>>
I picked sliver because I thought I was being cool. but I did get a gold cart eventually and if I ever replay as adult (rare nowadays, this was a late 00's/early 2010's thing mostly) I do gold

I had silver and I used to just stare at the cartridge and admire the sparkles and I even remember comparing the debossed numbers on the label to my friends carts.
>>
Gold.
Still got it CIB
>>
>>12297945
Silver but as an adult I'd rather just play the romhack that combines them
>>
>>v>>

First played Silver when it was a poorly translated from Japanese rom that ended up breaking after I got to Kanto, including and involving me also fighting a level 142 Gloom at Erica's gym?

When it came out in the west, I bought Gold to see the differences.
>>
>>12297945

Crystal. Only downside is fking Lufia and Ho-oh not having their signature moves.
>>
>>12301389
>Only downside
dont make me point to the sheep

>>12297945
I was a spoiled brat so I had both.

Silver for sure.
Sex with Lugia.

>Sex with Lugia.
you love love lugia so much shouldnt you get gold version so you can get him at level 70?

I’m not even a big Pokémon fan and I lost interest in between gold and silver and ruby and sapphire, but a memory I come back to a lot is going to the mall in my small town of like 50k one night and going to KB toys and preordering silver version for 5.00 and being super excited, getting some promo cd I put in my windows xp computer, and just being generally hyped and excited for the game.


I think it was a great game and idk why I never played Pokémon after that, I’m honestly pretty sure it’s because the GameCube came out and I was more interested in games on that console, and then Xbox and halo came out and I shifted into dudebro territory.

(Years later i also got a ps2 used in like 2009 so I eventually got all 3 consoles and I enjoy them all)

What, no Dreamcast?

Kek felt like I needed to include that so Simeon didnt think it was an anti Sony post. I think that was the last generation where you were seriously kneecapping yourself or massively missing out not having all 3 consoles. the Wii I think you can argue both sides for, but the xb1 and ps5 imo are the same console more or less without many worthwhile exclusives and I don’t think the modern Nintendo consoles have the same effort put behind them or the library but I could be wrong. not a huge fan of the switch 1 or switch 2 or any modern console. even though I think the switch 2 is a toy if I could only have one modern console I guess it would be that.
>>
>>12302096
I actually didn’t get a Dreamcast until like 2014 or so but it’s a cool machine. I regret selling mine during covid which is when I was selling a lot of my stuff, I may try to get another one one day.


I was very surprised that there are aftermarket shells for the Dreamcast now. if I can find aftermarket shells for all 4 consoles of that gen I wonder if there is a cool color to make them all match in.


I personally just feel like that is a magical generation in gaming and we never needed more. was too perfect to last I suppose.

Gold was the one that had a 10% complete english translation before the game came out in the west and that's what disgusted me about gen 2 for a long while.
>>
Silver kid, some kid gave me a celebi
>>
>>12304205
Oh fuck you might be right, maybe I played Gold first.

>>12297945
Crystal

Red, Yellow, Pinball, then nothing.
I'm playing Crystal on the Chromatic now. It's OK.
>>
>>12297945
Silver because I heard Lugia was a flying mewtwo and Fly was the coolest shit to me back then. Also, ho-oh being fire/flying was lame to me because moltres and charizard already fucking existed. I'm kinda surprised these two weren't dragon instead of flying, honestly. Makes less sense for ho-oh (I guess you could go by monster hunter "dragon" rules), but lugia looks more dragon-like to begin with and it would be a good balance. Plus the only other new dragon type in GSC was fucking kingdra.

When I was a dumb kid I thought that one song in Kirby's Adventure was a reference to this.

as a dumb adult I cant disagree

>>12298125
What an asshole

>>12297945
I had silver originally and later on I got crystal

A Golden boy, 25 years ago.
A crystalline man, right now.

>>12308063
I think it's because I watched Rudolph on TV around the same time I played KA as a kid. Like when I listen to the audio and compare the two, it's not quite right, but I think some wires crossed back then and I would think that the Silver and Gold song was closer to KA than it actually was.

Semi-related: My dad fucking Berenstain'd himself for years with this Beck song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPfmNxKLDG4&t=1m16s
He thought that Beck was saying to the robot "That was a good one, Freddy." instead of "That was a good drum break."

Don't read the manga past the anime.
>>
>>12308095
Rest assured, I stopped at the anime.
>>
>>12301834
I know what I'm doing today.
>>
>>12297945
Red, then Silver.
>>
>>12297945
Silver, Blue, Sapphire, and Diamond. Then I stopped with Pokemon. With remakes I got Fire Red, but wish I got Green instead.
>>
>>12308095
What's wrong with the anime?
