i have a GBA and wanted to know what is the best pokemon game. i kinda want to get blue or red just for nostalgia, but i fear they may be hard to find. so should i just get one of teh newer ones? if so which one?

i know this is the DS forum, but there isnt any gb forum and thought you guys would be able to help.

Get FireRed/Leaf Green, they're remakes of Red and Blue. I'd try out one of the DS games too but if you're set against Diamond/Pearl then you should wait for the new Gold/Silver remakes.

check out ebay for red and blue version, my little brother was able to find both versions for about $6 each not including tax but they are pretty good condition.

in my opinion emerald was the best especially if u r eventually going to get a ds, fire red and leaf green were/are fun but the nostalgia wears off and you will find the pokemon repetitive after a while, believe me i did....

Well since you have a GBA, you should definitely pick up Pokemon Crystal. While I do enjoy all of the portable Pokemon games and reccomend them all, I personally enjoyed Crystal the most, so that's my 2 cents.

Without a doubt. If you can still find a copy that saves, this is the one to get. Or if you can't find one that saves, just wait for the remake and get a DS.

If you are looking for something to start you off right, get Firered or Leafgreen. They are both great remakes to the originals and they are faithful to the original games.

After you beat one of those, pursue Emerald. It's the best of the 3rd generation games.

If you get a DS, pick up Platinum and if you want to see why the 2nd generation is the best, get a copy of the silver or gold remakes.

wow -.- everyone forgot Silver? yeah its for GBC(game boy color) but its has what no other pokemon game has(except for Gold and Crystal) you start off in Jhoto reigen but you can go TO the Kanto Regien AFTER you beat it the game simply blew me away back then and it still does but you asked what was the best i think silver is but you should try Emrald(i never played FireRed/LeafGreen so i cant suggest those) but if you ever get te chance play Silver/Gold or Crystal seriously i think those beat ANY pokemon game EVEN Emarld and Platnum.

LOL, he doesn't have a DS, he wants a pokemon game for GBA. Take both emerald and fire red. They are the best for GBA.

GS was definitely the best because they were the longest and most fun by far.

i guess thats why the case is purple and it says "made in portugal"

i never would've guessed. i mean, the words "pokeymohn" were written perfectly in crayon.

ps. not to mention the "this game is not a fake" sticker that was put over suicune.
