>>50841951>>50846536>No. The pokemania boom had died and hardly anyone cared about the games at the time. If anyone ever found out you played video games that weren't Sports or GTA in 2002 then you where labeled as a massive faggot. The few who still played pokemon in secret didn't care about the dex cut, they where just happy to have a new pokemon game to play.Yep this lmao but a lot of people that did play Pokemon that I talked to did understand why it was a thing back in the day too. Sure, people found out that it's POSSIBLE now, but the early 2000s was a vastly different time and we learn about technology more and more as time passes. I still don't know a single liscensed GBA game that can communicate with GB(C) natively.
