>>21926590traded my lvl 100 scyther for a baby vulpix, red version had the best exclusives otherwise
I quit pokemon after finding out i couldn't transfer my monsters from crystal version.
I traded from red to yellow (first game supporting full color), to gold, to crystal..
I remember hatching my first eggs, and seeing my true childhood bros in color for the first time on someone elses brand new gameboy color
the link battles and trades were unprecedented at the time.. many hours were wasted
