What in your opion was your favorite handheld, non DS pokemon game, please include a reasoning.

Although I didn't play it the most, I thought Crystal was pretty awesome! It was the first game that had a real improvement over the past pair.

After that, I'd have to say Emerald for the same reason.

(But I didn't like Yellow too much. Although you could get all three starters, the game did bore me a little compared to Red/Blue. And I hope Platinum is awesome, like the videos make it look!)

I'm not removing this from my sig until another Pokémon movie is in theaters stateside.

Red/Blue, the classic that started it all (and was also where I started playing Pokémon)

I like yellow.Was my first game

For me it is a hard choice the Handheld pokemon games were so diffrent it makes it difficult for me to choose.

I started in Red and i agree with scott yellow was pretty boring compared to its counter parts, i really dont have a fav

Silver would be my favorite because it was better than yellow and you could actually see the experience points go up instead of waiting for the pokemon to level up.

Yeah i guess that is a true statement

BTW, i only have Yellow, Silver, Ruby & Sapphire, and Diamond that is why i'm only saying those games

oh you missed out on the red and blue the storyline was a bit better then the yellow in my opion

One reason some of the story line really did not follow the tv show and that well....killed it a little

Pokemon Colusseum was pretty sweet especially with the battle music when you fight a normal trainer with a shadow pokemon.

Yes. All you need is a new battery (A CR2025, it is round like a watch battery.), some electrical tape, a small screwdriver, and a small pair of pliers. Follow the directions here http://www.instructables.com/id/How-...mon-goldsilve/ and you should be fine (on step 2, use the pliers to remove the screw, it is easier then using the screwdriver as shown). If you have any questions feel free to ask, I have done this with quite a few GameBoy games. (This also works for dead NES/SNES/N64 batteries).

thanks yoshi

to repair it you will have to take it appart, then you have to replace the battery in which you us elctrical tape to hold it in place put back together and enjoy

Up 'till Diamond and Pearl I never understood the use of Mystery Gift. One lucky day I used it over Wi-Fi, and that's the story of my Shaymin.

This is a tough one. I own Gold, Crystal, Diamond, and Pearl (but I borrowed Emerald for half a year from a friend and played that through, and I also borrowed FireRed for a while too).

Crystal is my favorite out of all of them (I just went back and played it this morning as a matter of fact). My gold is dead

RSE had my favorite battle music out of all the games, and Diamond and Pearl are okay. It was cool to play a new generation all over again, but now I wish I hadn't bought both of them.

Of course, I HAVE to get Platinum, because I like a lot of the changes.

GOLD AND SILVER REMAKES FTW!!

I absolutely love Pokémon Gold. For me, I have loved Pokémon since it first came out. I must say, the GameBoy games and the trading cards were poorly put together. DONT GET ME WRONG! I love them! But, the game didn't look like a lot went into it - I do understand the GameBoy had it's limitations - but, there were others out there with far better detail and whatnot. The cards were very plain - but, I love it. Gold came out in COLOR (woo) and the second generation Pokemon weren't too bad! I loved it because it kept many aspects from the Red/Blue Saga [with a brand-new backpack setup (yes!)], but also had a great new storyline. The game kept me peeled and even after I turned it off, I still heard the music in my head (no joke!).

It's safe to say I dreamed Pokemon. I ate Pokemon (no!... you know what I mean). I breathed Pokemon. You get the idea! =]

Wow, hard to choose, I like all of them!

I like emerald, mainly because you can get all of the legendaries and also you can get one starter from Johto if you complete your PokeDex.

I have to say my fave is my red which i still have and is in working condition Buyah

I like Yellow and Crystal the more.

C'mon, there's not other classic Pokémon game that makes you get tough it with a Pokémon walking with you!

And Crystal was just awesome. I wonder where is it... I hope I haven't lost it D:

I want Crystal BAADLY

Oh well, I liked GSC and RBY.

Darn man that is a bummer

Yellow. Hardest pokemon game. Catching the Pikachu is annoying and then its even more annoying trying to beat Brock. The others in the main series were a LOT easier to beat, but it kept getting harder to get a full pokedex...

they are really not trying to stay with their slogan of Gotta Catch Them All

Nice the team you had was very balanced, my first one was red, which is still awsome

Yep. I was actually not really thinking of type balancing when I chose my team, more of the PokeMon that I liked. I wanted to keep the starters on my team and then I caught a Diglett, which I leveled up. Then I traded my Machoke for a Haunter with my cousin.

Yeah some of my team was Charzard, Pikachu, Kingler, Pigottoe, Nidoqueen, and Hitmonchan

I liked crystal version the best, especially since it was my first game (I started liking pokemon later than most). Ive played yellow and blue as well, and ruby and saphire no emerald though- just never got it I guess.

It is your first game so it is understandable but you can't argue that Red is a clasic and therefore is the best

my first pokemon game was Red version
I have Got All The Pokemon Games I Even have Green version! But I Didn't Play it Couldn't be bothered trying to learn the japanese. lol
I got R/B/Y G/S/C R/S/E, and the spin offs etc

wow nice

Red and blue would be my favorites for obvious reasons It doesnt take much brain power to figure that out

Well I really liked gold ad silver.
