Summary
A young lad sets out on a quest to collect, research, and battle "pocket monsters" called Pokémon. In a vast world filled with many strangers, evil organization members, friends, and a bitter rival, player's set out on a grand quest that is an easy recommendation for "baby's first RPG." These games established the world's highest-grossing media franchise in the world alongside the TV show, toys, and cards.
Acquisition
Picked this version up at a local game shop when I traded my Nintendo DSi, Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Wonderful 101 Remastered, Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, and Catherine for $100. Upper right corner of label smudged/ripped. Bought alongside Pokémon LeafGreen Version.
Memories
The only real memory I have of this version is when I took the copy home, I opened it up to clean it and the board had signs of wear and corrosion. I took it back and he just swapped the cart inside for me. Apparently, I bought it with my copy of Pokémon LeafGreen.
