I'm honestly not really sure why I never finished the Pokedex, as I was absolutely addicted to the game back then. I never had Crystal at the time, I had a GameBoy Pocket so couldn't play any GameBoy colour only games. They wouldn't because at $10 for the VC it wouldn't be profitable at all, but I would totally pay a premium (like $30) for retail cartridges versions of Red/Gold VC just so they'd function the same as every other cartridge game that I can just plop down into any DS and they just work (instead of being tied to the one 3DS it's installed on.) You know, I wish they'd also release the VC games on cartridges. which I might do at some point but until then I'll probably stick to GameYob tbh.Įh what the heck maybe I can just get Red/Gold and ignore the Japanese ones entirely. I kinda want to get both Red and Gold VC now that they're actually putting Gen 2 on VC, but I don't think I'd be able to find the official Japanese Green/Blue/Silver VC online unless I region-changed my 3DS to Japanese and bought them myself off the eShop. What happened way back then? Did Crystal come out and take your attention away from Gold?įigured most people just get the legendary dogs relatively quickly within a few months of playing the game but I guess maybe back then the internet wasn't as readily-available and people might just not have known how to find them at all. Now I intend to play though Pokemon Silver when it's released on the 3DS Virtual Console later this week. I have traded myself a Pokemon GEN1 Legit YOSHIBA Mew and a Pokemon GEN2 Legit PCYNb Celebi from the event save games we managed to preserve on Digiex. I think only one or two of them who I have traded Pokemon from are still in to the games today. I guess the saying slow and steady wins the race applies here it's pretty crazy to think I was 14 years old when i started the save game! It has loads of Pokemon on it I got from trading with friends who were all Pokemon crazy at the time. ![]() ![]() The end result is my Pokedex is 100% complete around 16 and a half years after I started. After another 3-4 hours of playing this evening i finally managed to capture Raikou and Entei. I managed to catch Suicune last weekend, however Entei and Raikou eluded me. What has taken me a lot of time though is the ever so annoying legendary dogs, Entei, Raikou and Suicune. I only had around 20 Pokemon to get so it wasn't that difficult as I was able to trade with my Red / Yellow saves and didn't need any of the version exclusive Pokemon from Silver. ![]() Either way that makes the save well over 16 and a half years old at this point!Īfter backing my save game up i did nothing with it for another 8 and a half years, it's just safely sat on my harddrive with me knowing one day I could do something with it if i wanted.Įarlier this year Nintendo announced Pokemon Gold and Silver were to be released on the 3DS virtual console, that gave me the motivation to find my old save out and finish it knowing I can use Pokebank to finally bring some of my favorite and oldest Pokemon to the current games. I know Pokemon Gold came out in America in October 2000 and that a local shop in my town imported it for me several months before it was released in Europe in April 2001. I don't truly know how old that save game is, however I believe it dates somewhere between October 2000 and January / February 2001. So a long time ago, 25th March 2009 according to the Digiex guide i made, I managed to backup my original Pokemon Gold save game before the battery died in the game cartridge.
