I played on the SNES cartridge plug in.

That's right I got round the issue with hardware that was about at the time and don't I feel really damn smug about it lol

[retrorant]

@Dwavenhobble Yeah the Supergameboy was good stuff!

I remember as a kid hating that gym and inevitably drawing maps for it. I drew maps in the Silph Co. building, I drew maps of the caves WITH details about what trainers were where, what pokemon they had etc. and even item placement. My friends had a tendency of looking over my maps so I kinda did that for them more then anything else. I knew the maps and the pokemon, they knew all the stupid cheats like the old man glitch.

I vaguely remember this. As in not at all.

hahahaha.

i know exactly what you are talking about. xD

i decided to play my Pokémon Red on my Gameboy Color... and my Pokémon Blue on my Gameboy SP. on my Red game on the Color - i couldn't see those damn walls because of the glares coming from the screen. but because of the backlight on the SP - I could see the white lines on my Blue game. :P

mm I didn't tm my pokemon 'till they're lvl 50-60. Try playing using the pokemon's own attacks~ It'll be less easy.

Until "recently", maybe 4-5 years ago, I never owned an original Game Boy and I don't recall Koga's gym being too hard to navigate on my Game Boy Color

[Marushachan]

Gaaaah! Liiiiiies!

When I played yellow version, Koga was hard as hell to beat. I had to save before battling and turn the game off if lost. I did this 3x before I killed he goddamn Venomoth. Maybe because my strongest Pokemon was Pikachu....but still!

Ah, memories~

[AwesomeJohn22]

i never found koga's gym difficult, even on the original GB.

@retrorant

even leaving the thing was great just because each theme thing had its own different screen saver that's something you don't see these days really.

Though I was amazed Nintendo did a similar plug in for the game cube for GBA games
