Oh the memories... especially now that the internal batteries should be dead. I'm afraid to look.
Red Version, Bulbasaur. Oh, yes. I am the person who chose Bulbasaur. I am also the person who demolished the "ever powerful" Charizard with a Golem I raised.
Never had a clue what the game was about, or what the starters were going to be. True, Bulba had an easy time against the first 3 gyms, but by the time you reach them you can beat them anyway. Afterwards I saw nobody liked Bulbasaur, so it felt great to win with the underdog.
