I’m playing through Pokemon Blue right now. I started when I had knee surgery last year and I just made it back to Pallet Town. Next stop Route 22.
Man this game brings back memories. I first played through on my original Game Boy. So many batteries because I needed that light attachment.
You never went back to visit your mother even though you have fly?
Uh oh. Am I a bad son?
Yes. And if you didn't let your mother waste all your money in 2nd gen you are even worse of a son.
I have such fond memories of that game and how widespread the Pokemon craze was at the time.
Chasing down pre-internet rumors, learning how to catch missingno, the cards, the show. It's my favorite generation of Pokemon.
I learned about MissingNo back on the playgrounds and read about how to catch him. It said it was risky, but me a kid, tried it anyway thinking what could be the harm.
I caught it! I was scared of losing it, so I hit Save and turned off my Game Boy Color. Booted it up, and my save file was gone. Kid me was crushed, and I chastised myself for being so stupid to risk it despite all the warnings.
My first play through of Pokémon Red was wiped out completely. My first party, my certificate of getting all Pokes (that I desperately wanted to print with a Game Boy Printer my folks never got us), all gone. I spent HOURS trying to find Mew under that damn truck. All of it - gone.
Thanks
ObamaMissingNo!Tragic! I luckily never lost my save, as far as I can remember.
