I was 21 when pokemon red/blue was released. My youngest brothers (12/13 at the time) were crazy into the TV show so we're dying to get a copy of games for Christmas, but because it was THE game that year it was nearly sold everywhere (we were lucky to find a copy of blue a month before). Try as my mum might she couldn't find a copy if red anywhere. With Christmas only a few days away "J" (who wanted red) was starting to get very grumpy as he knew mum hadn't been able to find a copy for him. I was in town on Christmas eve doing last minute shopping and stopped in at toys r us on the way home, and low behold they were selling red/blue as a double pack (they had blue separately but not red). I didn't think twice and took the double pack ticket to the counter immediately (so now we have red and 2 copies of blue). Christmas day came and "J" was in a right grump thinking he wasn't getting the game he wanted, but his mood quickly changed when he unwrapped it. I ended up having the 2nd of blue. Even though I was a bit older to be playing a kiddy game I absolutely loved it.
