So my older son bought me a game boy advance for Christmas from an old game shop near his station. It’s awesome because not only is it a cool retro thing I can play with, it just happens to be the same design as the one I had back in 2000 the first time I ever played a Pokemon game. It’s a crazy coincidence but my son has a knack for those.
My love for Pokemon went back way further than that. I used to get home from middle school just in time for the cartoon. I’d watch every day and follow the journey of Ash and Pikachu. I had never played the games tho until I got that GBA in 2000 because I hadn’t owned a handheld since my first Gen game boy got stolen many years before Pokémon was a thing is ever heard of. Since then, though, I've played the games religiously only missing two gens so far with one being recently crossed off leaving only on gen I haven't played. BUT, I've also never played Pokemon Yellow, which is the game my son included.
Pokemon Yellow plays pretty much the exact same as Red or Blue so far with two exceptions. One being you don't get to pick your starter. Pikachu is trust upon you, and your rival is only left with Eevee. So far I don't have a ton to report. I named the main character after myself, and usually I name my Rival Mongo, but in this case I was excited and kept the name Gary, but for the purposes of this write up I'll be kicking Mongo’s ass all the time.
As of tonight I stopped shortly into Viridian Forrest with my Pikachu mirdering bugs at level 12 and the only Pokemon I grabbed so far a Nidoran female at level 10. First, up is our old pal Brock if this game holds true to the old ones so I’ll likely grab a grass type the first chance I get.
Also of note, I don’t have a cool naming gimmick like Mongo. I just name them so I’m rocking Pika and Nidi right now.
Smell ya later.

You’re team is weak. My [insert Pokémon after checking my yellow team {tauros}] could whip your whole team

Well now that I know how much Pokemon means to you, I feel awful that Mongo insisted we kill you in mafia.
....and even worse that Adrien stuck you with the Todd character.
Did Adrien ruin 2021? Be honest, Scorps...
*On an unrelated note what a baller & thoughtful gift, rock on sir*

Great game.
Great gift.
I used to love reading the Pokémon write ups you guys all did back in the day. I’ve always wanted to do a nuzlocke video series but I don’t have the equipment.
Great job young Scorps on the thoughtful gift!!

In yellow you need to be strong. Brick is usually level 14 with Onix and Pikachu can't touch him. Find a Mankey or get a Nidoran male so he learns double kick!
That is such a cool gift. They have all 3 donkey Kong country for GBA and all are enhanced. 1 tacos your progress and add pictures. 2 adds in ostrich racing and picture finding. 3 has an entire extra world to play

Thanks guys. I hope to keep up with this and love the feedback. Might run back and grab a mankey if I can’t find a viable grass type to murder Brock with.

My Yellow team from back in the day kicked ass. Nikoking, Gyarados, Jolteon, Charizard, Gengar, and... of course, Dragonite.

All y'all that didn't handicap yourselves with Pikachu into the end game were missing the Yellow marketing point. Can you beat the game with a starter lump in your squad? ...or are you yellow...

This makes me want to break out my 2DS. Having Yellow as a virtual console game is not as cool, but still.

X and Y are pretty damn easy and the story is not as good. It's fun and the setting is fun but it's meh. Worth a play if it's cheap. Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire is better, fixes a lot of what was wrong with the originals (still the water part at the end is ... trying) but it's good and you get the Delta Episode with a free Rayquaza and Deoxys.

Well I already own both Y and Omega Ruby, I just never made time to play them. Maybe this year.
