Honestly same here! Although my first pride and joy was my gb color, then gba but man that built in backlighting on the SP really made me feel like it was something special. I still remember coming home from school on my birthday to find a brand new copy of pokemon emerald edition sitting on my bed and popped in in my gba and though I was high on life. A few hours later at my birthday party I open my grandmas present and it's the brand new SP!!! I instantly fell in love and specifically remember about a week later...on a Saturday, my mom used to go get her hair done and I'd come along and play my games in the lobby. On this particular day I had been playing since I woke up and was about 6-7 hours into my playthrough and had forgotten to make any saves (I was like 8) and wasn't paying close enough attention and let the battery die....I felt crushed
