Wow... Please do not tell me that you get mad if people call the purple GCN's kiddy. I can take what you said and transfer it to the GCN.

Eck! Whoa! A bunch of purple colour painted slapped onto a small cube, with that kiddy handle! What is this? A lunch box?

You see... everybody can say anything about any system. And you know what? Sometimes the if something that bugs you (Pokemon) is on something that is AMAZING, you lose all respect for it, which is a bad thing because it is not the outside, but the inside. Please apologize to GBA now. You hurt its feelings. ;)

:D

What a waste of a read..

*shrugs*

Yeah, Gamecube is kiddy, yeah Gamecube is purble (in my case, black) But what the hell does this have to do with anything?

All I'm saying is that particular GBA looks like it came out of someone's ass

I have a GBA, and I love it.. I'm not disliking GBA in general, I'm talking about that Pokemon one..

I can't stand that gold one. Picked the purple one over it. Japan got much sweeter Pokémon GBAs. They screwed over NYC.

I think Japan has too many special adition GBA's.... when will they start making special edition GCNs?

I think this is kind of weird, consitering there are no pokemon games for the GBA released yet, theer will be soon, but not yet...
