Okay so today I was with two of my friends and we started talking about Pokemon and how we all used to play it on the Gameboy. We all have the Red version and haven't played it in years. So we decided to have a little bet first one to get every Pokemon available wins $30 dollars from the other two. BUT, when I went home and pulled out my game and Game Boy and found that I actually had my previous save and every Pokemon. The counter shows 74:25 hours played. So I'm still going to start again for the bet, but i am wondering if I'm crazy. Would you start again?
Pokémon Red/Blue
Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Feb 27, 1996
Pokémon Red version and Blue version were the initial two releases in the Pokémon franchise. Red, a Pokémon trainer from Pallet Town who Ash Ketchum, the anime protagonist, was later based on, starts a journey to become a Pokémon Master and ultimately catch 'em all.
Would you start it again for a bet?
" No. I got Blue a few days ago and I hate it. It's all nostalgia, those games suck. "You sir, are crazy.

I'd be all over playing Blue again if I still had it.
" @AlwaysAngry said:Indeed he is. I played again recently and had a blast... mainly because the most recent games aren't even that drastically different (in the battles, anyway), so it didn't feel as dated as something from that era should. Fun game, plus when you want to just screw around with a completed file, that game had some... interesting glitches that my 7-8 year old self could find." No. I got Blue a few days ago and I hate it.

" I'd start it again just for fun if my Gameboy still worked. Red/Blue are still the best games in the series. "I disagree, while I loved Blue more than my family, those 2 are by no means the best in the series. They are the starting point, good games, but Gold and Silver are easily better games.
" It's all nostalgia "This is pretty much the truth. It's nearly impossible to go back and play Red/Blue after playing Gen II and III. If you want to relive the magic, play FireRed and LeafGreen.

The bike works but isn't quite as useful." @AlwaysAngry said:Indeed he is.

Its crazy to me to think that I done that all those years ago, this game is probably up there as one of the first games i ever really played properly so it's special to me.
Easily. Heck I would restart without a bet. But to be paid to play the game again would be AWESOME!!!

I'd wait a while, then show that save to my friends and win the bet.
But seriously, I could never erase a pokemon save game. It's probably because when I was little, my cousin erased my save that had 142 pokemon on it. I was sulking for days. A truly traumatizing experience for any kid my age, for sure. I still haven't forgiven him.
I TOLD HIM NOT TO SAVE! NOT TO SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!
