Did you at least learn to play or are you to this day doomed to not know what to do?

No, I never learned. I was however, a boss at Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap on the Nintendo 64....

Right? I dunno why they thought it would get people to behave! These mis-behaving types they won't care at all about some silly points and they didn't!

I was talking about our broken, broken English and how similar they may be between North and South. One of our famous ones here, well two if I'm cheeky, is mewling and variations of ova bye yer

I suddenly have the urge to play Pokemon stadium, that was such an awesome game!

Haha, thank goodness, I'm not the only one who never knew how to play it! I just liked the pretty pictures!

Right? Even better when you used your own monsters instead of the "rental" ones from the game!

Seems like the exact type of ineffectual nonsense schools everywhere would cook up to be fair. Now if it was a cash reward at the end it might and only might have worked better.

You dishonour Pokemon everywhere!

Too true. It was such great fun to see them beat up others. On your tv screen!

Ah right, gotcha. I must admit, I think it's more of a Southern thing; I can't really think of anything that's uniquely Northern regarding those kinds of things...I can almost hear "ova bye yer" being spoken by my Aunt who is a Caerphilly native!

Also, I badly wanted a Gameboy colour, but could never afford one. I had the original brick, which I think was a hand-me-down from my uncle...but it was awesome all the same!

I skipped the original then got stuck with the colour for an age and a half. Got to admit I preferred Pokemon on the colour and advance!

Well I do know one thing, if you watch family guy or the Simpsons they will have a British, English character saying bugger, which is sodomy to the rest of the world but here in the valleys it's a softer F word. No meaning beyond that, the 'mericans have given the English our word!

We did actually have one of those cartridge things that you could connect to the controller of the N64 (with the game inserted), and play Pokemon on your T.V - it was a truly awesome thing!

You can say that again. I thought I was badass back in the day for doing that. And getting my dad to do that. Heh, those were the times.

Ah, I don't watch either of those shows, though I must admit, I've never really heard a Southern Welsh person say "bugger", or if I have I've not paid much attention. I think the Scots are the best at saying that one though...then again, lots of curse words sound funny with a Scottish accent...

I would literally spend hours on it, it was awesome
And my Sister had Poke Red (I had Blue), so we could trade as well!

I had red, I spent so long on that game it was unreal. Filling the Pokédex was fun! The only option of getting everything being via trading always did my head in, I wanted to get everything by myself!
