>>51456390Silver was the first game that was bought specifically for me and the first game I beat by myself (shared copy of Red with sister, I beat the league, but she played it more). I loved building my team, training them and finding new members all by myself, then going back to the region that I beat with my sister just made me so happy. I was so excited for Sapphire when I got it but was devastated that I couldn't get most of the Pokémon in my other game and couldn't trade them over.
When FRLG came out, my parents bought me a GBA SP and FR because they just thought "he's into Pokémon, he'll like it". I was very hesitant, but seeing pokemon like Bellsprout and Fearow again made me keep playing. The game was okay overall, but when I got to Four Island and heard the Azalea Town music, I was hit with the feeling of recapturing what made me love Pokémon.
FRLG may not be the best version of Kanto, but I like them for how much Gen 2 stuff is in it.
