A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Damn, good for you. I never quite got to collecting them all, I never got all of the version exclusives. Maybe one day I’ll try to find a way to get them all. I don’t have too many friends playing the old Pokémon games anymore though, so trading might be a pain

I used to go to Game Stops and buy used copies of the GameBoy Advanced carts, take any ‘mons I was missing and then resell the game or give them away (usually leaving them in Geocaches.

That’s awesome. There’s a few vintage game shops around me, maybe I’ll see if I can do that in the near-ish future
