Pokémon Red / Blue was my life in High School, I loved training up my Pokémon and whooping the shit out of my friends and family.
I downloaded Gold / Silver when they first came out, but just had this overwhelming feeling of "I've already done this and now I need to start all over again" when I tried playing them, so never even bothered fighting as far as the first Gym. It didn't offer enough evolution in gameplay from the first one to make me stick at it. Plus my friends were moving on to other lame ass interests like girls, so I had no-one to play it with.

Every now and then I hear about a new Pokémon game and kinda go "ooh, think I'll pick it up and see what it's like", but I never do. The original is still a firm classic in my eyes, but I've just never got around to picking-up any of the recent updates for a quick spin.
Have they updated the versus battle system yet? In the old days, all skill went out the window if both players had a level 99 MewTwo, and it was just a case of "whoever gets the first move wins".
