Ahem. Yes, I had Yellow. I also got pokemon about 2 weeks before it got really popular at my school. My Pikachu was ownage, because everyone seem to favor water/flying builds at my school. And also, he hit first (speed stat was huge). Every single time. I lost count of how many times people wanted to trade for him. I had one guy offer me a mew, all three legendaries and a Raichu (you can't catch another pikachu in yellow and you can't evolve yours into a Raichu, so you had to trade to get one.) just for my pikachu.
Ahh, good times. I haven't played a pokemon game since, it dropped out of favor at school and I moved onto RTS and racing games. I mean, play pokemon with 1v1 battles, or play Age of Empires and decimate 7 other friends?
