18 years ago today, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions were first released for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance in North America!
Together, they became the best-selling Game Boy Advance games of all time.

My first @Pokemon game was Blue on the original Game Boy. I thought the idea of a turtle with canons in it's back was totally awesome so I picked Squirtle. I've made it a habit to buy and then never finish a game from every generation since then!
The year is 1999.
You walk into the cafeteria, pull out your Game Boy and begin playing Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition.
Across the table, your friends are trading Pokémon cards. You're going to see Pokémon: The First Movie on Saturday.
Life is good.
