Im 13, just spent my allowance on this nostalgia. I bought all the games From Red, Blue Yellow, to Leaf Green Fire Red, Sapphire, Ruby, and Emerald. Even had enough money left to buy the mystery dungeon red and pinball.
haha, when I clicked on this and heard it, the first thing that happened is that I started crying. Kids these days will never understand how awesome games were back in the day compared to their "this games got better graphics" bs.
It's so hard to describe the memories this conjures up...Traveling around kanto, leveling up charmander to level 16, having a good gym battle with misty, all while trying to find an angle of light on my couch. It's amazing how a small device with a screen and buttons as well as a game cartridge can fill a person with the happiest feeling a kid could feel. My childhood was one that I will always look back on with satisfaction, and I have this amazing franchise to thank. Pokémon forever!!
In about 20 minutes it will be my 19th birthday, so I decided to come back to one of my most cherished memories of my childhood, and man it was worth it...
I used to think the girl (and same with the other girls that had hair like that) on the left was a nun when I was young. Since we're on the topic, I used to think the lass's overworld sprites hair looked like Marvin the Martian's helmet as well XD
It was my sixth birthday when I received my yellow Game Boy Pocket and my Red version. I vividly remember running straight up to my room after opening the box, excitement and anticipation streaming through me. I turned on the game, and rushed through the title sequence and Professor Oak's intro. But, the instant Pallet Town's theme faded in, even at six, I could tell that this moment, and this song, would define my childhood, and its innocence, forever :')
@Derp859 4th generation, 493 pokemon. but since you cant get all of them in one game, its likely to be 450 (i dont rly know, i havent sounted them), and it sounds better. and it doesnt matter.
this song makes me sad now :/ all those memories started with this music and now it reminds me of my childhood and how i cant return to those magical moments
i seriously would give anything, ANYTHING to go back to that moment; the moment of my childhood when i first heard this music, the moment when i had no idea about the awesomeness that awaited me in this game that would mark my childhood and bring so many wonderful memories as it is doing right now :')
I still remember it like it was yesterday. My brother got blue and I got red. We played the whole game side by side, discussing everything that was happening and enjoying the hell outta out it.... Man, I can't believe it's been 10 years.... Some manly nastoglic tears have been shed.
I will never forget the first time I played this... Where I was, what I was doing... I can vividly remember everything, that's how embed this is in my head. It's apart of my childhood.
@WinCamXP Oh I see. Though, I listen to a lot of legit chiptune, mostly made using Gameboys with modified cartridges. They really are able to produce reverb and other effects. It's amazing
I remember when I was a kid I would Fly to Pallet on the back of Charizard with Pokemon Yellow, leave the Game Boy right beside me, put it up full volume and just listen.
I remember driving my parents mad asking for this game all my friends had It i was around 7 at the time and got home from school and my mom had bought red for me, I spent half an hour searching for my own pikachu in veridian forest and got one :P
When I heard this for the first time as a child, I wanted to cry. When I hear this now, I remember my childhood memories. Anyone has that type of feeling too?
I was walking with my girlfriend downtown the other day and I actually saw a kid playing Pokemon Blue! And I thought to myself: Man I wish I was him, so lucky! :(
Damn, Pokemon red was my first video game, i was 6 years old. Now i get goosebumps from the nostalgia this music makes me feel. It´s like im on my way home playing this on the back seat of my car
Hard to believe that 10 years have passed since I have first played these games. I remember when I was just inside all day playing Red Version. Now Im 15 and Im trying to get into a school of the arts, thinking about my relationship with my girlfriend, and trying to get a job. Oh how happy I would be if I could be 5 again. :)
It hurts to know that I'll never be able to play this again like in my childhood. Sitting in the garden in the summer, leaning back on the big plasic chair, hidden under a towel, playing this without any worries. I'd give a million to re-live my childhood again
God I used to play this in my back yard, after I would play on my gameboy for a bit I would get my pikachu, jiggly puff, togepi, meowth, and many more plushes and I would play as a real pokemon trainer... Ahhh, childhood.
That moment when you hear this and your childhood was the best. I hope when we die we will be able to go back and live our childhood as many times as we want.
You know, I'm tired of being sad when I hear this. I don't need to be. Yes, my childhood is gone, but I can still have these little moments where I can relive it for just a few minutes. And that makes all the difference. :)
I remember playing this on yellow when I was very young.
Such happy music, :D

Your smile is stronger than a Hyperbeam.
Like Jesse and James, we'd make the perfect team.
I'll stay by your side, like Pikachu and Ash.
And i love you more than a Level 80 Rapidash
You're more legendary than a Zapados, Entei or Mew
But out of all 450, I Choose You.
