So, I've been a major Pokémon freak ever since I was little. Pokémon Red was the first game I ever bought for the GameBoy. Heck, it was the first game I ever bought, ever. So I was sort of astonished to realize that the only time I never bought one of the two releases that GameFreak puts out, it was for the FireRed/LeafGreen remakes. The Pokémon games may disappoint in a lot of ways-- the fact that the sprites don't ever effing move and the attacks don't look like anything-- but I'm still a loyal fan. When Pokémon Black comes out in the US, I will be buying it immediately even if Nintendo was an asshole over that whole screenshot thing. (YOU SUCK, NINTENDO!)
Anyway, this is all coming up to the point of my post: I've been trolling eBay for a decent (and cheap) copy of LeafGreen, which was difficult since the game is hard to get complete anymore, with box, manual, and cartridge. I was finally planning on giving up and just getting the cartridge when, lo and behold, there was a copy with box, manual, and cartridge for a reasonable amount. I bought it immediately, because games that have become even semi-rare are a point of pride with me. Though how a Pokémon game-- or, at least a complete copy-- become semi-rare, I'll never know.
So, look for more info about that later.
