So I have one memory of an older kid showing me his yellow gameboy color and pokemon yellow and being amazed. I can remember having a pokemon on the SP but not which one. My uncle called me a fag for crying at the movie. I can remember playing XD and Colosseum, i thought Shadow Lugia was so cool. I got beat up for saying Suicune was cooler than Entei. Oh i remember some event for Manaphy at Toys r Us!

So I'm facing ebay and the local game stores but I'm a bit overwhelmed with my options and how expensive they are. I'll have to get the system and the game. I'm thinking a Gameboy Color or SP, and maybe Silver?

>sry for vent but working through a lot lol
