If you teach your pikachu surf using a gameshark you can unlock a secret mini game. You go into a house in one of the southern cities on the water and talk to a dude and it launches this game where you jump waves and you can do front flips and backflips with pikachu on a surfboard. Sooo balla. Look it up on google or somethin.
I remember I bought Silver and never beat it. I might have to break it out again. I had Red and Yellow too. Say whatever you want about Pokemon, but those games were fun.
pokemon red and blue+27 hour van ride to mississippi with 3 of your best friends(and 20 other people you really dont like)=the shit, we had a competition to see who could beat the game first wihtout using the missingno rare candy cheat. only one of us managed to do it unfortunately but holy shit talk about a way to waste time.
