What? Speak up, sonny.

What's this Black and White business? Who's what? Where's why? More pokeymans, you say?

Okay, truthfully, I never finished the last one I got. That was something to do with Diamond/Pearl, I guess. It took a long time to play.

HeartGold/SoulSilver just brought back memories (like my friend saving over my file when I was at the 7th Gym), so I wasn't very "into" playing that again. Besides, the only super awesome 'mon was ELECTRIC SHEEP

However, I am a sucker for the Pokemon, and I probably would like to buy a copy. You know, if Australia ever gets a release date.

But mostly, I was just musing over the collection. Between HotD and I, we have Red/Blue/Yellow, Gold/Silver (no Crystal), Ruby/Sapphire (maybe Emerald?), FireRed/LeafGreen, Diamond/Pearl (maybe Platinum?), HeartGold/SoulSilver, and then things like PokemonSnap, Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2, and some other business with pokeymans. It wouldn't really be fair if we didn't get Black/White, when it's available.

How about you folks? Got most of the games, or are you stuck having one version of each generation?

Fun fact: the only one I've ever 100% was Blue. All the others, I either haven't beaten, or didn't 100% the Pokedex. And that's not even if you're insane and somehow count items in the completion ratio.

And yes, I feel very old. Playing Pokemon for over a decade will do that to you.

I played and finished Red, with everything (and I do mean everything) finished.

Since then, I have tinkered with some of the other titles and console incarnations, but nothing so engrossing or revolutionary that I finished any more.

I've never owned of the main series: Blue, Green, Diamond, Fire Red, Souls Silver, and now Black and White.

That said I now own Emerald, Leaf Green, Pearl, Platinum, and Heart Gold. (And XD: GoD and MD: EoT but they aren't in the main series (XD: GoD is arguable, but whatevs))

Owned multiple copies of R and Y, but not any now. I may have had B once but IDR. :/

I've never played 100%, just because. :/

I'm thinking of doing a Nuzlocke run on Emerald and/or Leaf Green soon.

SD u not old. Don worreh. ^_^

I had a completed Blue version (bar mew, and half of the mons were Level 100), Silver again (100%, baring mew and Celebi). Then I kinda lost it after that. Never completed R/S/E, or D/P/Pl. And it doesn't look like I'll get a lot of the HG/SS either.

Games list
R/B/Y
Original Trading Card Game (yes, they made a video game version of it)
G/S/C
R/S/E
Pokemon colosseum
Pokemon Gale of Darkness
Pokemon Channel (For free Jirachi)
Pokemon Ranger (Manaphy egg)
D/P/Pl

and

Black and White.....(when they come out in America, I'm importing one.)

Grey when it's released.

Currently working through SS at Seafoam Islands. HG is currently restarting for masterballs, just done Chucks gym.

I was obsessed with Pokemanz between maybe 5 and 12, but I never had the patience to actually complete the Pokedex. I probably logged 200-300 hours in to Red/Blue, Gold, and Sapphire/Emerald, but the closest I ever got to completion was 76 owned, 217 seen in Gold. That said, I rented HG from GameFly a few months ago and managed to get 120 owned, 235 seen, but I predictably lost interest before completing it.

I've owned Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, Sapphire, and Emerald at some point, although I only have Gold and Emerald now and only had Silver for about a month. (bought it for $5 used and then gave it to a friend)

I'll probably rent B/W at some point, but the odds of me even trying to complete the now absurdly large Pokedex are somewhere around 0%.

I used to own Silver for the GBC, but it was sold at some point I think.

Now the only core Pokemon game I own is Pearl. I'll probably get Black or White too.

I have Gold, Ruby, Diamond, and HeartGold (because Gold's Battery is dry)

I also have Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, Snap, Colosseum, and I want to get Rumble if I can.

So, yeah. Pokemon Fan.

*pssst*

I hear the DS is actually region-free like the PSP is, so you can just import the NA or EU releases, if you don't mind the spelling differences. ("Oh, look at this color! Yeah, I hear the chips have a lot of flavor. Defense increased by five!")

My first Pokemon game was HEY YOU PIKACHU and i loved it my little pikachu bringing me crystals and stuff, too bad i was too young to fully understand

The first main pkmn game I got was Sapphire. I came in waay too late, and I really gotta play the others. I got Diamond afterwards, then Platinum, and then i'm planning on getting Black and then Grey (lol). I have Emerald on an emulator, but I hardly touch it. I'm just gonna get an SP and see if I can actually find a copy of that game because it's freaking rare nowadays. And I wanna get a GBC and play the original pokeman games also.

...and i need a job to pay for these things

Well, if you're not caring for the whole experience, you could just skip the GBC and use the SP for the GBC games. 'Course that doesn't really cut down on the price much, plus it's a whole new system. =D

Also, Snap and Stadium/Stadium 2 were awesome. Never owned them though. Thinking about getting them sometime since I have a system that I don't seem to use.

DS is, but the DSi isn't.

I begs White, ESSDEE!!!

I doubt I will ever complete a Dex ever again. It's not a top priority when I just don't have that kind of time any more...

A lot of our games aren't even fully localised for spelling anyway, Deku. XD

GOOD because I want Black.

Not like it matters considering you can tell what they're saying - unless they use like heavy slang. Then it'd probably be hillarious.

Heck I'm so accustomed to some spellings I already use them and don't notice. *shrugs* Most books I read as a young kid were printed in Canada.
