I know what you mean, even though i never had the pokemon trading card game i did have blue, and luckily for me my blue still works XD
wheni first heard there was a gb game for the pokemon trading card game, i got an emulator to play it right away
never played the gen 1 games, but I would totally download yellow from Eshop if they just threw in a game-breaking exp. share.
old trading cards are the best ones too. when I play, I treat poke-powers and bodies just like abilities, allowing me to play with outdated cards and make stupidly good combos like heatrean lvX and origanal fire spinin’ charizard
protip: nintendo doesn’t make pokemon, game freak did. They keep updating the mechanics and providing new movesets and ability combos to keep people who actually enjoy the actual rpg genre playing it. You apparently hate them, so nobody cares what you think because you’re yelling at a company for occasionally creating a new game for a popular franchise. “screw nintendo” indeed.
Game Freak develop Pokemon games, yes, but Nintendo own the IP and publish them. Suggesting they’re somehow not a part of the process is incredibly wrong.
Oooh, that widdle guy! He’s being raised well. Enjoy and appreciate the classics!
Can the kid cat make regular appearances? He’s so adorable!
… D: I really want to play Pokemon Crystal, now. I had Yellow version before that, but I never go to the Elite Four on Yellow, so I consider Crystal my one true start to Pokemon.
When it comes to game consoles, there are two things that improvements can never defeat; the original concept it improves, and nostalgia from the original device. :3
First web comic series I’ve found myself remotely interested in.
Keep them coming. I have this website bookmarked. Your art style is very appealing and your humor is innocent yet can be enjoyed by all ages.
Sir or Madame,
Your comment made my day. In an age of acronyms and poor grammar, you stand tall as one of the last bastions of hope that proper English shall survive.
Exactly :) although I do admit that I have been recently using most of my free time to play Skyrim, I still love going back and playing Pokemon Emerald (my first ever pokemon game :D)
Alright this is gonna take a while.
YOU CAUGHT A PSVISTA!
Pokèmon Trainer GameBoy would like to battle!
GaMERCaT:Go Sackboy!
GameBoy:Go Pikachu!
GaMERCaT:Use sticker!…
“It’s not very effective”
Pikachu used Thunderbolt!…
“It’s Super effective!”
Sackboy Fainted!
GaMERCaT sent out Clank!
And… I have nothing else, sorry!
I relate so much to the little cat with the gameboy. I still own an original Gameboy that still works and all of my games still work. I also own an NES, SNES, N64, and the original Atari 2600, which all still work. Every weekend I play each one of them to relive the nostalgia.
It just ocurred to me that it’ll be funny to see Gamercat trying to play on a psvita… The rear touch pad will be unreachable… Unless he uses his tail xD

Heh. I just started a Nuzlocke on my old Blue game (still saves, yes!), and restarted the old TCG game.
Man, those old games are good. Good times, man, good times.

Why somebody intrested in Pokemon? It grew old. Concept had bored me to hell over the years and new games is nothing new, so screw nintendo.

…I really need to hook up the SNES and N64 again. Super Gameboy+Pokemon+Stadium for the total win.
MattoMatteo
Nothing can beat the original. ;)
P.S.: even if i never played with Pokemon… ^_^’

Sorry about the bad letters. I’m shivering in fear because you haven’t played Pokémon.
That’s a joke BTW.
Rorogi55
I know I would do the exact same thing if I met a kid on the sidewalk and ask for a turn and let him play my game!
Wait dose that make me pedobear?!
Rorogi55

Streak566
That new character is damnably adorable…
De blah

Moss
Oooh, that widdle guy! He’s being raised well. Enjoy and appreciate the classics!
Can the kid cat make regular appearances? He’s so adorable!

knite0

johnwolf

Funny isn’t it though, we buy the most advance hardware. then some kid plays old classical games on a retro handheld then we want a turn.
masterchief

PanChaos
This is now my favorite comic on here ever. Thank you~ I have my teal game boy color still with yellow, blue, and crystal.. Classics can be the best.

JORGE U
HOW forget those first games? …
Hatman1801
This is my first introduction to the series, and I got twin barrels of cuteness blown into me point-blank. Pokemon’s the best ^.^
Unanonymous
Nostalgia, the best kind of pain.
Asiancowbox
WOW WHAT A NOOB KID! Everyone knows blue is better :P But still this made me cry a little bit from Nostalgia

Ain’t that the truth. Even when the new awesome handhelds are played, the gameboy generation games are always just as awesome. :D
Mewone
It’s the Gamer Kitten!

Exactly :) although I do admit that I have been recently using most of my free time to play Skyrim, I still love going back and playing Pokemon Emerald (my first ever pokemon game :D)

I think the Sackboy is way more charismatic than Pikachu… ALL BASED ON SOMETHING CALLED “OPINIONS”!
He prooobably would have used the paintinator… big difference :3
Ambervamp
I LOVE THIS!!!!! Finally something about Pokemon!!! YAAAAAY!!! XD X3
MorfiTM
Even as I’m a Vita owner I must say that i can relate to this comic. Nevertheless Vita also has some cool titles.
Marscaleb
How did he manage to buy one when the store owner doesn’t speak cat?
Mewone
Uh… the wizard did it?
*runs away*

Ehem did we forget his crazy side he could’ve stole it…..
