I had 151 pokemon on my red version, no cheats. I spent months with people on the playground organizing trades. Found a guy who had Mew from some New York event, gave him a gameboy game for it. Finally caught them all.

My sister then for no reason steals my game to take it to a friend's house, and her friend fucking started a new game and saved.

I still haven't entirely forgiven her.

This makes ME angry.

[–]Cygnus_X1 9 points10 points ago

Every time I see a post like this I feel glad that I have no siblings...then I remember that asshole that kept stealing my copy of pokemon Silver.

[–]Pyromania37 2 points3 points ago

kept stealing? he did it multiple times?

[–]Cygnus_X1 1 point2 points ago

I have 4 boxes of Pokemon Silver in storage. Only one of them contains a game.

[–]Chazzey_dude 1 point2 points ago

I admire your persistence. You have earned that Lugia.

[–]Cygnus_X1 1 point2 points ago

Indeed. While Pokemon Yellow was my first game and has the most hours on it. Silver holds a dear place in my heart for being the game that really got me into pokemon. Ironically that was the last pokemon game I bought until last year aside from Pokemon Stadium 2.

When I was 10 my sister gave away my copy of Yellow, that describes how I felt

[–]CaptainNinj 4 points5 points ago

My pokemon red glitched and now I can have a limitless amount of aerodactyl. My old amber never leaves my inventory when I give it to the guys

[–]Icalasari 1 point2 points ago

Missingno.?

There's only 127 (or 255 - depending on how you handled Missingno.) Old Amber there if that's the glitch

[–]JDilla22 5 points6 points ago

I know that feel. My younger sister once put my pokemon red cartridge into my gameboy color backwards. It had to be removed with pliers.....

[–]WhereWaldoWas 0 points1 point ago

There's only one feel here.

[–]pmart36 2 points3 points ago

I had the same feeling when I was young I thought it was the shit to have an Ampharos with moves that all started with "thunder" and then my sister taught it fire punch. That bitch.

[–]jak08 1 point2 points ago

I stopped playing my copy of yellow when I was doing trading between my blue and yellow and was moving my lvl 100 pikachu and the game froze mid trade.

Cloned whatever random pokemon I was trading and erased my pika :( I was so upset I don't think I have ever picked up yellow again.

[–]cynicaldesire 0 points1 point ago

I stopped playing Pokemon since Yellow because I let my friend and her sister play my Blue and Yellow where her sister saved over my Yellow file. I had a Mewtwo and a level 100 Venusaur, which was my starter from Blue.

You know, it IS possible to catch him with an ultra ball. At least I'm pretty sure.

[–]Swazzoo 0 points1 point ago

I let my brother play ruby for a while. Encountered a shiny zubat. I was like "omg awesome let me catch it!" He said that he didn't like it and ran away..

[–]Demanter -1 points0 points ago

Everytime my friend came over for a sleepover we had to lock up our Pokemon games. He used a masterball on a Bidoof, Stole my shinies, released my best pokemon.

GAWD FUCKING DAMMIT!

So I chucked a spaz and released his shiny Empoleon. We don't play pokemon around each-other anymore.

That last bit where the fire comes out of his arms and neck looks like a time lord regenerating.

Appreciation for Doctor Who?

When I was around that age i released my brothers Charizard...

[–]cosbysweatergiver 1 point2 points ago

ಠ_ಠ how did your brother react? Because murder wasn't one of them.
