I am collecting EVERY Pokemon game! This video is episode number seven in a series where I search for, and purchase every Pokemon game in the mainline collection. We started at square one. This series will be an absolute blast with a few bonuses, twists, and expenses. What will we find today? Crystal, Ruby, Black, White, Red etc...? Today's journey took us to a huge retro meetup. Make sure you subscribe and stay tuned for the next episode! Check out my links below as well :)

Great episode and I also mess up black and white lol this is the most hyped ep yet so many good games and you completed gen1-3 try to get some of the older games there cooler and harder to find and thanks for the shoutout can’t wait for the next ep

Thanks Yoriichi! Sorry for forgetting to say your name lol. I went back through to edit and remembered your comment though! So crazy we finished a gen today.

For a small KZfaqr, this is a very well produced video and great pick ups! I don't foresee you staying small long!

@throwbackkb Ай бұрын

That means a lot thank you! A lot of hard work, but it’s a blast and I’m excited to see it grow 💪

@generallegath974 Ай бұрын

Damn, I didn't realize how expensive Crystal had become! I remember buying Ruby and Sapphire for like 40 dollars apiece just a few years ago. Think I paid about 50 for Emerald, which now goes for 150+. Absolutely insane what's happened to the market over just a few years.

@throwbackkb Ай бұрын

Very jealous of those prices, it is crazy how it was just a few years ago that the prices were relatively normal. Now it's just so extreme. It takes me a few weeks in between videos just to save up for 1-2 games at this point and if I want to get a haul its basically my life savings 😂. Emerald is next on my list, I'm terrified of how much it will be lol

You finally added my favorite generation to the collection. Love this series. I've been slowly rebuilding my own collection of Pokemon games so it's nice to see another enthusiast working on it!

@throwbackkb Ай бұрын

Thanks Shane! Glad to hear you're working on your collection as well! What games are you looking to add next to your personal collection?

@shanesavage5850 Ай бұрын

Next goals for me are SoulSilver and White 2 in English to complement my Japanese HeartGold and Black 2. I'd like to have all of the games in both languages (and Korean as well) eventually so I'm using the multiple languages to at least start out with complimentary pairs.

Awesome series, I’m happy to see this channel grow. I am also trying to get all of the games, and Jesus it’s expensive. The way I found your channel was because I recently started collecting up the games I was missing, and changed KZfaq for a video of someone else doing it. Good luck bro.

@throwbackkb 25 күн бұрын

Hey I'm happy you made your way here! It's insane how much these games are lol. I usually need a paycheck or two just to gear up for one small hunt 😅. How is your collection coming?

@michaelm9211 25 күн бұрын

@@throwbackkb it’s coming, I had a bunch of the games from either when they were new or some that I bought up during college. I have a cib red version I got from a local store like 10ish years ago that I got for $30, a platinum cib that I got around the same time for $30, and an emerald that I thought was high back then for $60 lol. I recently got sapphire for $85 and fire red for $125 on eBay. I think this is the time to buy these games up before they go even higher. Nintendo has really been trying to stop emulation recently, and if they do actually stop emulation these games are going to go even higher. Again good job, and I completely understand if the next episode isn’t for a few weeks as you have obviously spent quite a bit of money in the past couple months. Keep up the good work!

Very nice haul! Definitely got some heavy hitters. Honestly? I think you should pick up Scarlet or Violet next, since that's the only Gen you're completely missing from your physical collection!

@pokemontrainerLisa 19 күн бұрын

@throwbackkb my experience is: yes. But for me it's many because of the prices. I'm manly on Fleemarkets and since the last hype I had not seen any real GBA Pokemon game. There are also many fakes of the GB ones. I had only see a real (I wasn't really sure) GBA one 1 Year ago in a secondhand store. At the time it was to expansive for me unfortunately.

@BensyBens 25 күн бұрын

You really need to get physical copies of sword and shield with the expansion pass or physical copies of scarlet and violet with the hidden treasure of area zero. Also try getting the GameCube pokemon games.
