OMG I love the spaceworld cartridge, I've searched everywhere online for it and can't find that copy. Is there any chance you could put a link where you found it? Great video thanks!!

Just so you know the gba repros dont play on gba or sp and really only work on ds and ds lite. its a power delivery issue. This happens with the GB games where they dont really run or dont run at all on an original gameboy or pocket but work just find on the GBC and up.

Awesome video. I wish I had my collection still. In the process of recollecting. Luckily some devices and games were passed on to younger siblings. Easy to retrieve, not as easy to answer their questions lol. Blue was my first, yellow, then silver. I have a fondness for silver especially. When you wipped it out I could feel it. Thanks for sharing!

Being some who grew up durung the DS and DSI era i never owned a gameboy of any kinda until recently, bought those amazon cartiges for gens 1-3 and it all worked for me so im happy either way especially since i get to experience the games, and they worked on GBC, GBA, and GBASP

That's what the bootleg versions are great for imo. They let you enjoy the full experience of playing on the Gameboy rather than emulated, without having to spend hundreds on what has become a collectors item. And as long as they are listed as "reproduction copies" and not trying to trick the buyers, I don't even have any moral concerns about it since it's not like they are selling new copies anymore to actually support the developers.

I bought multiple fake carts and they constantly crashed. Eventually I said fuck it and just got legit copies off ebay.

Thank you for making this video. I still have all my games from the good ole days, but have lost save files due to battery issues :( oh and I’ve misplaced my cherished sapphire. This whole video made me smile though. And that finale was tender, which required being the right age at the right time. I was 5 when Red came out, but for some reason the games I revisit the most consistently are anything from gen3. The graphics and vibe of that era should have just been the way they made all future games. Thanks again. This video was like mainlining pure uncut nostalgia. Ugh the good ole days

1:05 "To be fair that's actually pretty close" That's the worst bootleg I have seen in a long time. It's not even close to "close".

I never had Gold/Silver until the 3DS VC releases so this was incredible!

Man I grew up with the very first Gen and don’t know why but I wanted red so much as a kid. I was in love with charizard and couldn’t believe I could have that guy on my cover + play with him on my side. I was just 8 years old and it was really the best time of my life. Miss these times so much that I always wish I could travel back to that time.

With the gen 1 and 2 carts. Authentic carts will connect with stadium and stadium 2. This is because of the battery keeping the save states alive at all time which is what is what stadium 1&2 need to read to connect. The carts you get are more of a flash saves or save states not in real time. So it won't recognize them. Just if anyone wanted to play it on stadium 1 or 2 you have been warned

More than likely what happened with gold is that the battery was replaced, but they didn't actually go through the process of saving and loading the game save. May have been a perfect file at one point but replacing the battery replaced the file.

I’ve got two reproduction copies. Both from eBay, Ruby and LeafGreen. I made sure that they were honest and transparent. If they tell you it’s a reproduction, then that’s not a bad idea. Both of them have over 30 hours in them and they’re still going strong. They both also offered returns so there was no reason to worry.

@@silentslayergaming8469 got you bro. Mainsales and Jr_garcia96. Both of them put in bold letters “REPRODUCTION COPY” and constantly mention it being a repro. Mainsales sent me a good copy and I lost my save. However, it wasn’t due to my save file but my GBA was on Red and I never saw it, which led to it turning off midsave and losing all my progress. He offered me a refund and I told him it must’ve been on the GBA itself not the game. He told me that he doesn’t care and he wanted to give me a refund anyway just in case it was faulty. I feel bad about him refunding me since I found out after that it was due to my GBA turning off midsave. I told him that I didn’t need a refund but he did anyway. So he’s an honest seller. I saved him as a seller and plan on doubt so for a while. For Garcia, I didn’t really talk to him much other than him telling me it was a repro, but I have over 50 hrs in Ruby without any problems. Both are great sellers, but I’m not sure if any of their other reps got bought. Nevertheless, if they did, just look for a listing that had REPRODUCTION and isn’t trying to pass it off as legit. Edit: also look at the reviews, if there’s like 5 reviews all 5/5 stars versus someone with 500 reviews 4.6/5 stars, it’s often better to go with the latter.

Well, every fan can do whst they must, many collectors like to keep it as mint as possible till their dying breath, and some others like my grandfather (may he be resting peacefully) always told me to enjoy these type of things if I get that feeling or itch, if I already have them...might as well re-live the experience and be a kid once more, which is what this guy did. I honestly love and respect both sides of the collection margins. Happiness is the goal anyways, and if we all achieve it, good life.

Good thing I still have my authentic Gen 1, 2, and 3 copies. They're extremely hard to get these days unless you're rich or very lucky, due to so many fake repos being made to scam you. In my personal opinion, the real games' ridiculous prices just aren't worth the money, especially since I remember as a kid they used to cost only $30-50.

I had that memory issue happen to me too on Croc for the Game Boy Color and Sonic for Game Boy Advance. These were legit copies, way before gba and gbc emulation was possible. I played it, saved, turn it off and on. All of the sudden game state was at end game and everything unlocked. Few days later, it reverted back to new game.

Silver was one of my first games as well. One of my favorite games of all time. I got myself a sealed copy of it. Yours is cool too =D

It's wild to me how much more expensive the English versions are compared to the Japanese ones. You'll be hard pressed to find an English boxed copy of a gen 1 or 2 game for less than $100, usually way more. Meanwhile you can easily snag a Japanese boxed copy of any of the first 2 generation games for less than $30. (There's also pretty much no Japanese bootlegs out there. If they exist I haven't seen them.) Pokemon is way bigger in Japan than it is anywhere else in the world, but the games just don't get inflated prices like they do over here.

i dont mind buying bootleg games as long as i can play them like the real thing.

When you got the authentic copy of Silver it really hit. I also got it as a Christmas gift when I was 6 and now I just want to go back in time 😭

Man I Remember Finding An OG GB With Red Version In It In '97.

Bro your pokemon gold savefile loose is quite intersting. I'm pretty sure the battery of the cartridge is really brand new and replaced. Actually after a long time i found my "gameboy box", I retrieve my old blue and gold cartridge, my blue version still had it's original save (respect this battery is really old) but my gold version was not able to keep a savefile. I replaced the battery and for testing I played about a week, the first day was only launching the game, pass the intro and save the game, turn off the gameboy and wait 24h to see it I didn't made mistake with the battery replacement. Second day I played the game and achieve the 2 first arena, not any problem at saving and playing the game, I was able to save and retrieve my savefile, I was happy and confident about my battery replacement. fourth day (didn't had time to play the third one) my save is still ok so I really get confident about the battery replacement, I wanted to get charmander, squirtle and bulbizing. In game I go to the poke center and learn that the machine time for gen 1 to gen 2 trade is down, I search the web and I must advance in the game to be able to unlock the time machine. I advanced in the game and when it is the early morning of the fifth day, I'm able to enter the pokecenter that allow you intergen trade and I was happy to discover I had to wait actually a real 24h to be able to the machine to be ready. I saved the game and waited 24h. Sixth day I played the game, I transfered charmander, squirtle and bulbizing from my blue version with my old gameboy color and a link cable, I made them evolve once and save the game. At this point everything worked as intended. I saved my gold version and played my blue version on my gameboy color as I catched abra on my gen2 and traded it on my gen 1 I was able to use abra teleport to glitch gen1 and get a Mew. I made the glitch and got my mew. I traded him to my gold version on my gba sp and everything was still ok. I saved and wait about 6-8h before playing my gold version (still on gbasp) everything still ok I play the game about an hour, I made my Mew lvl 20, save the game. Now come the tricky part. I played my blue version a while to get some pokemon (MewTwo in particular), the gba sp with it's backlight is better when you play at night so I played my blue version on gba. When I finally catch it I wanted to trade him to my gold version. I put my gold version in my gameboy color that played blue version all this time with no problems and I got my gameboy to show the gameboy bootscreen with the nintendo appearing and not the black line instead (meaning that the game is recognized and loaded) but right after the boot screen I got a blanck screen. I restart my gameboy, bootscreen with nintendo, I don't get a blanck screen anymore, the game runs fine but no continue option, I loosed my save. I don't know if it is battery replacement, console switching, trading mew or a mix of this. I restarded a game on my gold version and everything is alright for now, I traded the 3 starters of gen 1 and made them evolve once again, everything is ok. For testing I tryed to play my gold version on my gba sp, my gba, my old gameboy color, a gameboy color pikachu edition and one another gameboy color and I still don't have any issue. But I didn't trade Mew for now, could it be a nintendo punishement for cheating on gen 1 to have an illegal Mew ?

I own beautiful complete in box copies of every single Japanese pokemon game from gen 1-4 except a few minor ones like puzzle league and hey you Pikachu. Every stadium game, pokemon box, the celebi and jirachi bonus discs on gamecube, pokemon trading card 1&2(2 is very rare), all of em.

The amazon sellers probably get away with it like the ebay ones. I reported a particularly egregiously priced fake of emerald as counterfeit that was selling for like 100 dollars or something on ebay, and they emailed me back saying they found nothing wrong with it. I included all the things different from a real cart in my report too lmao they just don't want to do anything about it.

I still remember going with my dad to get Pokemon Silver right as it was getting dark outside. Struggling to see my game boy screen in the car on the way home. I was so hype cause my buddy's brother was deployed in Japan and sent him a copy early, so I had spent months nerding out over new pokemon coming. I think this was my first sequel hype ever.

i have a complete in box copy of pokemon silver as well, in japanese. it cost 60 bucks.

Chiorita was so perfect they kept it

I remember buying emerald years ago since I no longer had my original and it was from ebay, first 10 seconds in the game I knew it was bootlegged as fuck lmao.

This was entertaining fr

I am kind of sad the bootlegs did not work. A lot of old games are not available to play for many classic handheld and console games. If bootlegs can preserve video game history, then I will take it.

Crazy that your Amazon gen 3 games didn't work, ive got the full set and 2 ruby's and they all work fine.

The gold cartridge worked on the gameboy color but not the sp because the contact pins are dirty. When you pull a cartridge in and out of the slot semi cleans it. But if both are dirty it just moves the dirty around. 100% isopropyl alcohol is the safest way to clean it with a q tip. Let it dry completely. The Isopropyl will dry completely without leaving corrosion. If you think the gameboy is dirty they make cartridges you can insert into it to clean it by 1up. P.S. blowing air into the cartridge is bad and causes corrosion. Your breath has moisture in it.

Silver was my first game too❤

And u made profit from this so worth it! Anyways props to u for this amazing Pokémon collection!

Lol you should grab a cleaning kit for your sp cartridge slot, ninntendo made them for the original gameboy but they work well theyre called DMG-08 Cleaning kit you can find them relatively cheap

I bought the Amazon set of five gba games and they all worked perfectly for me. I play them on my ds lite and have never had an issue

There are bootlegs that use chip/card to save the data, so it's the best version to have nowdays. Leaving the OG safely boxed and playing on the bootleg.
