I don't see how its useless if it plays games, I always liked it even though I never owned one.

lol you're right I didnt even think of that

I really like it. I was just thinking the other day of how great it would be to just throw that into my pocket instead of the SP or DS. Maybe if they lowered the price I'd get one.

I'm happy with my GBA, so I won't be buying a Micro(then again, soon nobody will be able to 8O). The same goes for the DS and DS Lite.

It's all really just one of Nintendo easy money making schemes, along with the many re-releases of the Pokemon games.

Certainly. It all started with Pokemon Red and Green, but the Green version was renamed to Blue in english. These games were brilliant and made Nintendo a lot of money, so they decided to produce Pokemon Yellow. Now, Yellow is basically just a remake of Red/Blue, but with the added little yellow rat as the starting Pokemon. A few years later, along came Fire Red and Leaf Green- which are simply ports of the originals, with an extra little tweak here and there. Go back a few years, you will have Gold and Silver, which had the same port treatment(I'm now talking about the Crystal version, for those of you that don't know), only with the inclusion of the Battle Tower. Equally, Ruby and Sapphire was soon put into another little green cartridge(Emerald).

Hope that cleared things up. :roll: ?

They have the same locations, pokemon, etc. So in that sense, they are rereleases.

And since when did Crystal add "more areas, a new starting town, and more pokemon, items, new elite 4, new moves, and 8 more gyms" to Gold and Silver? :?  :?  :?  :?
