The very first Pokemon game I ever owned that wasn't a hand me down from my brother. I got it on release day in 2000, and was so excited that I instantly opened the box after buying it and booted it up right away. Words cannot express just how many hours I put into this game as a kid, or the surprise I got when a really rare Pokemon sprung up out of no where and attacked me when I was in the grass. It got away, but I did eventually find it again and caught it. Hopefully other people remember getting the secret Lapras in the cave on a certain day of the week (friday?) I was so happy that there were two whole regions to explore unlike in previous games. I liked the game so much that I even bought the guide in 2000 from a shop called Asda.
