This generation needs to quit bitching

My generation caught 150 Pokemon and all we got was a stupid diploma. And this was before we had emulation. You had to do this on a game boy color with no gameshark codes. Do you know what that's like?

You think that's bad? I had to trek across 9 feet of ugly shag carpet to change the channel for my parents. And sometimes I had to wait cause they wanted it changed again!

@katielass Yeah and I suppose they had to tune in a radio just right.

@MrSmooTh yeah, I think they knew of only the one station.

@katielass I bet they played outside a lot though.

Ever played Manic Miner on the ZX Spectrum? Loaded on a cheap cassette player?

All we got was another go.

Do I win a point? ;)

@Thodsis Yes and you had pong.

@MrSmooTh We also had the outside world.

but you did have friends, emulators don't cross over so you can't even do trading if you wanted

@Jackaloftheazuresand why don't you Google that a little bit...

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

@MrSmooTh I've used enough emulators in the past, the visual boy was unable to link to other roms
