Man I feel old...first game was original Pokemon Red for my brick of a Gameboy...thats right people, I had one of the first Gameboys that was the size of a Netbook and the 4 AA batteries kept the black and white screen going for about an hour without sound...if I was lucky.
Probably not that bad, I don`t remember, too busy fapping to Pokemon haha.
I chose Charmander, all of my friends chose Bulbasaur since he was the easiest to go through the game with, one of them chose Blastoise, I was always fond of the fire starters, and to this day I only chose them for my games.
Yea...I still play...sometimes, mostly for vacations and stuff.
