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.
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.
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
My soul silver got stolen in highschool 2011. In 2017 I was making alright money and stopped by a GameStop and saw Pokemon soul silver for $50 or $55. I remember thinking it was real expensive and left the store but literally went back later that night or the next night and grabbed it. Do not regret the price anymore
Nice to see you so happy with your pick ups and what you have achieved. ive been slowly doing the same thing collecting the whole set. Its tough but but you can still get deals from time to time out there. Keep hunting man cant wait to see you complete the set 😎
Appreciate you man! Best part about hunting is the joy/thrill you get when you finally find a few things you've been looking for. Glad you are doing the same and we probably feel the same pain 😂
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!
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.
really respect this journey you're on... im actually on kinda of the same journey to getting some of the physical games myself! stumbled on your vid and instantly subbed... i just picked up both black and white with their cases but no manuals lol. you should try to get pokemon Emerald next!!! thats my fav pokemon game of all time haha 🔥 💪🏽
Thats awesome! It's quite a journey for us all getting the physical games. I'm really hoping to find Emerald soon! That's one of the bigger ones left on the list lol.
@throwbackkb ya hunting them is a tedious journey but it feels so accomplishing afterwards. its also the old school in me since i grew up playing cartridges back in the 90's so going out and getting them brings back good memories of shopping for them as a kid with my family haha.. and great! cant wait till your Emerald video!!! 🔥👌
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 TH-cam for a video of someone else doing it. Good luck bro.
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?
@@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!
@@michaelm9211 appreciate you! dude that price you got Emerald for is a dream . I think you're right about them just going up. Good luck with collecting the rest! (to us both lol).
ooooh yes! I didn't add to the original list, but I think I definitely need to grab it. I haven't seen a copy out in the wild ever. May need to order this one online lol.
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!
Thanks Sly! I love the idea of Scarlet and Violet. The sad thing is before I started collecting physical I bought them digital on Switch, so now I have to double dip lol.
@@throwbackkb Ah yeah, I think I remember you mentioning that in a previous episode. That's pretty unfortunate! But if it helps a little, GameStop still has that Scarlet/Violet double pack in stock online. Could knock both out at the same time that way
Yeah I've overpaid a few times for sure. I have a few trusted people in the area that I buy from, but I always know the games are in good shape and work, so it's worth a few extra bucks!
I am indeed! I can't fully claim Pittsburgh, but I grew up about 45 minutes north of the city. Huge Pirates fan unfortunately lol. You from up that way?
@@throwbackkb I am actually yeah like 10 minutes from the city lol if you ever come up here maybe we can catch a ball game I’d really like to officially meet one of my now favorite TH-camrs
i still got my uesd pokemon crystal version i got from gamestop when i was a kid with the price sticker still on it with says $16.99 on it i also have my pokemon blue i got off ebay for $35 dollars a few years back i also still have my pokemon yellow, sliver and pokemon red some where.
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.
Yo, I'm on the Dame journey as you, here in germany! I'm almost there, well it depends on the POV here. There are only 8 left to get for me but all of them are the expensive ones. Gold, crystal, all of the GBA ones and white 2. I wish you so much luck and fun on your hunt. 😊
@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.
Those prices are way off Ruby is worth ab 70-80 TOPS. Crystal is at like 150 & red blue yellow silver and gold are all 50-60 a piece. You really need to use price chatting and eBay’s most recently sold to show these guys how they’re ripping people off
Where did you get them pokemon games from im tryna get the Nintendo ds ones i already have firered n all the 3ds ones n switch ones but ebay is way way too expensive and gamestop dont have them Amazon games fake Walmart games fake i download them on my Nintendo ds emulator but i gotta get the ds ones 150 is alot of money where can i get them cheaper authentic ones
Hey! It's pretty tough to find them in general. I either go directly to local video game stores, meetups, or game conventions. Depending where you live it may still be cheaper to order online sadly.
Great question! I'm going to start working on those soon. I want to finish up the mainline first then go over to all of the side games. Hopefully I'll get a few soon lol.
do u have the real authentic versions of Pokemon heart gold n Pokemon platinum can u screenshot them so I know exactly what to buy I can’t tell the difference between the real or fake one n oh on ur eBay account do u sell Pokemon games n how much are they
hey! those are two games still on my list to buy, but once I grab them I can let you know. It is super hard to tell real or fake. Even a store like Gamestop will still sell fake copies on accident.
I don't know how much the games cost here in Sweden but I know Black 2 and White 2 is very expensive here. I should never pay over 1000 sek (€100 $100) for a game. It is not worth it.
@@throwbackkb Yes, the price for Black 2 was around 2500 kronor ($250) here when I was looking at Tradera (our eBay) But when I got White I paid under 1000 kronor ($100) but then I only got the cartridge. After that I fixed DS boxes for that game plus for my GBA games.

The worse is this insanity spreading to European countries.

For a small TH-camr, this is a very well produced video and great pick ups! I don't foresee you staying small long!
That means a lot thank you! A lot of hard work, but it’s a blast and I’m excited to see it grow 💪
Nice to see you so happy with your pick ups and what you have achieved. ive been slowly doing the same thing collecting the whole set. Its tough but but you can still get deals from time to time out there. Keep hunting man cant wait to see you complete the set 😎

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.
@@shanesavage5850 thats amazing, love getting dual languages!
Ruby! Was the shiz back in the day dude! Great find, the nostalgia is intense! One of these days we should link for a mario party show down!
Let’s do it man, always down lol

Should have picked up that windwaker, just so we have two copies…for safe keeping
this is getting out of hand 🤣
Dang dude, collection has grown amazingly in just a few videos! Hoping for my GOAT Soul Silver next!
Thanks Ty! It's came a long way lol. Soul Silver is next up on my personal list. Hoping to grab it in the next few weeks!
HeartGold/SoulSilver would be a great find or even Platinum. Good luck dude it’s fun watching the collection come together
Thank you! The luck will be needed lol
Don't forget pokemon green! the cart color is silver and it was only release in japan, they're fairly cheap!
ooooh yes! I didn't add to the original list, but I think I definitely need to grab it. I haven't seen a copy out in the wild ever. May need to order this one online lol.

@@Slyrocker. not a bad idea lol
Nice pickup on red man! And thanks for the shout out. Heartgold is my next vote
Thanks man! If we can snag Heartgold you just might get another shout out lol
I picked up a heartgold a couple days ago. $120
@@CozyCornPop was that for CIB or a loose copy?
Dude awesome! At some point you’re gonna have to skip a video or two for game hunting and start boxing the loose games 😊
haha I know right, just like a "housekeeping" episode. The boxes are coming in the mail today I'm hype lol
$80 for Pokémon Red hurts. It’s usually $50. Nice little convention though. I’m all for the collectibles!
Yeah I've overpaid a few times for sure. I have a few trusted people in the area that I buy from, but I always know the games are in good shape and work, so it's worth a few extra bucks!
Are you originally from Pittsburgh? I notice the pnc park shirt you got on

That would be sick! I haven’t been to a buccos game in a while lol
@@throwbackkb can I dm you on anything?
Yolo, get emerald next and complete the third gen set lol.
Yolo is right 😅. Emerald is next up! I think I've only seen it in the wild a few times though, so lets hope it pops up somewhere lol
Raleigh was worth it! 🤩
Sure was!!!
i still got my uesd pokemon crystal version i got from gamestop when i was a kid with the price sticker still on it with says $16.99 on it i also have my pokemon blue i got off ebay for $35 dollars a few years back i also still have my pokemon yellow, sliver and pokemon red some where.
That is insane! I wish I did this challenge like 5 years ago lol.
I've thinking about selling all my Pokemon stuff, I have all of them but Blue and Black 2. Glad i got them when they were on Gamestop for $20 lmao
you are one of the lucky ones lol
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.
Yeah I think this coming weekend I'm going to aim for a switch haul. Once I get the mainline finished I'm going for all of the gamecube games!
Sick pick ups as usual!! Gotta try for heartgold and soul silver next!!
Thanks Ray! Threw the Rayquaza clip in there for you lol. Definitely on the lookout for those!
Great pick ups now that you have ruby you should try to get pokemon emerald to complete the best 3 Pokemon games ever ruby was my favorite as a kid
I agree 100000% that those are the best 3 games! Emerald is certainly next on the list.

Get a tripod for your in house segments my man
I need some major improvements with that type of thing, definitely noted!
Man those prices are insane
Yeah absolutely wild lol

Chikorita IS cute
I agree lol
Mario party 7 is the best pick up
honestly....yeah it might be
Can you please tell me what it says on the tags (year made cimpany that made it) of the Chikorita Plush. Would love to try and get one myself
Absolutely!!! The brand is “Banpresto” no date on the tag unfortunately. But a number that says “2694223”. Hope that helps!
@@throwbackkb Thank you
what about the pokemon games in the gamecube and n64?
Great question! I'm going to start working on those soon. I want to finish up the mainline first then go over to all of the side games. Hopefully I'll get a few soon lol.
Pokemon White 😍
FINALLY
🔥🔥🔥🔥

pokemon fire red
Yeah I need that game bad lol
I don't know how much the games cost here in Sweden but I know Black 2 and White 2 is very expensive here.
I should never pay over 1000 sek (€100 $100) for a game. It is not worth it.
I own:
Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal
Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2
Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald
FireRed, LeafGreen,
HeartGold, SoulSilver
White
Y
Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire,
Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon
Let's Go Pikachu
Sword, Shield,
Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Heck of a collection! Black 2 White 2 prices are insane. CIB is around $200 in the US.
@@throwbackkb Yes, the price for Black 2 was around 2500 kronor ($250) here when I was looking at Tradera (our eBay)
But when I got White I paid under 1000 kronor ($100) but then I only got the cartridge. After that I fixed DS boxes for that game plus for my GBA games.
I think he’s going to get Pokémon emerald# banana
Can't wait for you to lose all your money when you get around to Buying Pokemon Box
lol Pokemon box may take a lifetime 😂
Im just saying i called crystal un the poll and i didnt get a shout out 🤔
OMG. Dude I had the screenshot in the video and everything!!!! I missed it in the final edit. You are going to get a major shoutout next vid!!!!
bro just overpays or everything
🤷♂️
The FunkoPop toy makes the collection look cheap.
Yeah I agree, just need something to fill a bit of space until I get a few more DS games. Will be out of the way soon.
