      Ahaha I found my generation-ish of people. Fantastic. I always liked the way you guys generally speak; guess this is why.

      Pokémon was awesome.

      Yeah I always thought of vermilion as yellow too.

      I thought that cinnabar was red.

      Which generation? Cause in the OG games (other than Yellow), every town was a shade of either red or blue (depending on which version you had). The only town that was the same color as its name was Lavender Town IIRC.

          Funny thing is that I used to be a bit envious of the kids who had a GameBoy Pocket in elementary school, despite owning a GBC myself. The Pocket was much thinner, used cheaper the AAA batteries, and had a much larger screen. The GBC had color, yes, but it was a downgrade in every other way.

            The GBC was a new system with a whole host of new games that couldn’t be played on the old one. Most notably Pokémon Gold and Silver. (And if you hadn’t convinced your parents to invest in a power pack or at least rechargeable batteries then you were clearly unserious about Game Boy)

              This is true. Probably should have clarified that I was speaking from the perspective of elementary school me. All your points are correct, but Gold and Silver didn’t hit the scene until I was in Middle School/Junior High, which is a completely separate era of your life when you’re young.
