>>50096261Unironically, just learn to emulate them instead. It's not like there's a bustling retro pokemon community, and online isn't even supported for those versions anymore. I bet emulated games even run smoother than the original cartridge versions too. If all you want is to play the games and have fun, then pirate them. Having a physical copy is just for boomers like me to post in the collection threads.
>>50096307It's pretty awesome being the guy who always took good care of his games so never felt the need to throw them away. I have at least 20 games across multiple platforms that are worth over $100 each now and all I had to do is not get rid of them.
Not gonna sell them though because I like the trophy. Just like with my shadowless Mewtwo card which supposedly sells for thousands.
