I've gotten a urge to play Pokemon as well. Last time I played I was 14-15, but last couple of days I have wanted to get a DS and game it up, hand-held style.
You could also download an emulator if you don't have access to a DS (like me). I feel bad looking around the Internet for HG/SS ROMs (found some, but they're just a black screen after Professor Oak tells me my adventure awaits... such a tease), but I would buy the games if I had a DS.
I've had emulators before but it's just not the same. When I was little I used to come home from school in the afternoon park my butt on the living room couch in one of it's corners and play Pokemon for hours. It's not just the game but the feeling of the hand-held console. I think it's a special feeling and a feeling I miss when it comes to gaming. Now days I play only on my computer and my Game Boy frenzy took a halt at Game Boy Advanced (I have all GB's up to BGA). I've played Pokemon for the big consoles and they can just not compare to the hand-held sensation of Pokemon gaming.
Conclusion, I need to get the new DS-3D (donno it's real name, just heard about it) because my birthday is coming up 7th of April.
Will be fun to see what has changed since I was 16. I hope they are still good.
- Fun fact -
Satoshi Tajiri as many of you know has Aspergers. As a child he used to spend a lot of time in nature areas around his house. There he would collect insects and study them since he had the wish to become a entomologist (scientific study of insects) when he grew up. His place of joy was after a time taken away from him as urbanization spread through the land and the area where he used to go and look for insects was paved over. He was saddened by this but he would always remember it as one of his happiest times as a child and planned to share his interest with the world and share the joy he had felt when he was hunting insects.
His nickname as a child, which he had gotten from the other kids was Dr. Bug.
