I was playing Pokemon HeartGold, and I got to Cerulean City with that great town music. I realized that I have listened to 4 different versions of that song.
Suddenly I remembered when I was 4, playing my fat Game Boy my parents just got for me.
Then when I was 6 or 7, and I was out of Johto and into Kanto, and I went up through Vermillion and Saffron, looking at the changes from the game I played before.
Then when I was 11, I played through Leaf Green and got my first bike from that same city from that classic game again.
And now, there I was, just today. Going on 17. And I'm running around in Cerulean City, and then I stop. And listen to the memories.
thats what its all about...i remember mowing the lawn as a kid and getting made fun of by kids in the neighborhood for actually working for my money...hell, id go buy some chinese food and rent a game...bart vs the space mutants, toobin, mega man 2, valis and others come to mind...those guys that were laughing at me for mowing my familys lawn for allowance didnt have a video game system.

@MetalMario: I know what you mean. I am pretty much the same age as you, and have all the same fond memories. Here's to more great memories in the future!

It's a shame the early Pokémon games haven't aged well at all (recently played through Yellow again for kicks, that was a chore at times), but then I guess that's why FRLG and HGSS exist. Long live Pokémon
Ah yes, Pokémon surely is a game series I have many nostalgic feelings for. I remember how popular it was during my final year of primary school.
Everyone had that game. I had Red, a classmate had Blue and another had Yellow. Most of these kids played it becuase it was Pokémon. I think I liked the game mostly because it was just a damn clever game perfectly suited for a portable system.
The fad had already died a year later but I picked up Gold when it came out and it was everything RBY were and more, much more. It was just a damn fine game, even when Pokémon wasn't the hottest thing around anymore. It just remains one of the most enjoyable games even though it is milked out endlessly and I still love it at nearly 23 years old, just as much as I did ten years ago. I didn't care much for the cartoon or the trading cards, toys, etc., but the game has kept me going for a whole freaking decade.

They're quite slow nowadays, with Pokemon Stadium you can crank the speed to triple though, and BAM!, great times again.
Heart Gold has done the same for me... actually... Nintendo in recent years has done so for me. from Mario Galaxy, to the VC, to NSMBWii, Since the Wii launched, i've been feeling like a 10 year old boy all over again.
