I played Pokemon quite a lot a few years back. I gave up when I figured out it took a lot of patience. :lol:

:lol: The gold and silver range was the best IMO.

I loved it on my Gameboy.

Before I lost everything on the computer, I had Gameboy emulators and a few game roms on there, Pokemon was a favourite.

Yeah back when the Pokemon craze started ('97/98), I had the games. Red,Blue,Gold and Silver. I stopped there though. Suprisingly deep RPG for the target audience though.

I was too young to actually understand red and blue so i only played a friends a few times but Gold/Silver was by far the best...Massively long which made it so much better.

I remember Gold and Silver quite well. I had bought the Japanese versions while I was in America and managed to beat the game without knowing any Japanese. :lol:

I was 13 at the time too.

Red/Blue > you

I gave up on Pokemon after gold/silver/crystal. There's too many fucking Pokemon now, 150 was a good number, 250 was as far as it could go, how many are there now, like 400? And they look fucking stupid too. But yeah. Have a Gameboy emulator on the PC, still play the old ones sometimes.

:lol: good stuff

Yeh there are way to many now but still good fun. I'm pretty sure they are gonna re release the gold/silver ones for DS's like they did with red/blue to fire red/leaf green.

Gotta milk it for all it's worth. I'm surprised it's gone this long without falling over like all other fads. Nearly 15 years since it came out in Japan and it's survived in the rest of the world for over 10.

Game was first though iirc? Then the TV show after. I think.

Yep.

Distinctly remember saying to my mum in primary school, "I need to get Pokemon cards, or I'll lose my friends". It was fucking true, the craze was incredible. If you didn't have em, no one would talk to you.

There was always that one kid who had the rare card you wanted but you had fuck all to trade with him. I remember I bought Charizard for $25 just to save my time and money buying the fucking booster packs.

I got Charizard in a pack once. I started fucking screaming right there in the shopping centre :lol:
I still have them somewhere.

I gave all my pokemon cards away to this shit of family friend who is like 10 now or something. I had about 700 pokemon cards not including those energy ones.

TBH, I never got into the cards that much. Preferred the Gameboy Game by a long way.

Yeh definitely preferred the actual game. Cards were more of an accessory.

Holy Crap!, I just found my Duke Nukem 3D game. Will be giving this a workout.

EPIC WIIIIN

Im hooked on Guitar Hero... PS3 controller felt so weird when I picked it up to dust it.

When I was in EB the other day I saw an AC/DC game that appeared to be like Guitar Hero but wasn't part of that brand.... anyone got any info/recommendations on it?

AC/DC is on Rock Band i think. Not a clue what it's like though.

TNA IMPACT - worst wrestling game ever made.

Suits the rest of the company tbh.

Na, TNA is great. Just this game is a fucking shocker.

UFC= awesome

So I went to trade TNA in at EB. I only thought I'd get like 5 bucks for it cause I only paid $24 from JB. They gave me $25 for it! I was fucking stoked.

Yeah you just got to remember to peel off the 'pre owned' stickers and they'll trade them in as new. :P

The other day i forgot to peel the sticker off the manual and the huy goes "wohkay, its a pre-owned, it's only worth $7". #-o
