I went to a con a year ago and a retro seller was literally giving out free Japanese stadium cartridges if you purchased a console. Not really rare or expensive but definitely obscure. Love the vid tho!

Language selectors in mainline pokemon games only became a thing in gen 6 and later with same day worldwide releases. Also, if you compare the UK population to the US... well, I'm sure you could figure out why there's less PAL copies ;)

Pokemon box was a pre order bonus with pokemon colosseum on GC

Thank god I still have my Crystal copy. But yes, those prices are completely absurd.

I had to recheck the price of pocket monster stadium 😬 you can still get a loose copy for under $20. Where did you get the $200 price?

So when are you going live again

I have extra copies of black 2 and black 2 and a sealed copy of white 2

I have a story about B2W2. I bought B2 when it was originally on the market, but not W2. The last couple years, I couldn’t find a cheap-ish copy anywhere until I found one on EBay for like $15. To be fair, that should’ve been a red flag lol. The game was actually Pokémon Volt White 2 (a rom hack). Originally I was sad about it, but I’m actually happy about it now. The game is actually refreshingly challenging and compatible with legit copies of B2W2.

Good choice on Emerald. Definitely my most played game.

Pokémon Box is probably my most treasured Pokémon related thing. I have dumped so many files on there over the years and seeing the price for it nowadays has me like 😳 I also found Japanese Stadium at an old store for like $20 but I don’t have a Japanese 64 rip. I do have Snap too! Loved that game growing up

I might know a thing or two about having rare Pokémon games in their procession 😁😁

I have all of these but pokemon box

I like how even the rarer major games are so common that I can only imagine the price comes from the general retro game-overpricing that people are doing. Even Pocket Monsters Stadium is cheap depending on where you look. If I had to guess without looking it up, the closest is likely JP Blue because it was originally exclusive to a mail-in promotion(That is why special editions are called special editions I'm pretty sure). It did release in retail eventually, but only alongside Yellow of all games. 1:32 It's literally just a seperate game, the game we know was released in japan as "Pocket Monsters Stadium 2". We could call any other unlocalized game the "japanese version" of its internationally released sequel and have that be just as correct, because this is basically that. Granted, they do admittedly share some development history because they did plan to release the rest of the mon-list as a DD expansion, but then decided on the DD's failure that they would rather release a full sequel instead. So anyone loving all the added side-functionality of Stadium/2 can thank Ura Zelda being scrapped, because a system seller expansion may have just made a sequel release redundant.

I have Pokemon Box, its a terrible game but the exclusive memory card is cool af.

I was like 😳 when you said Pokémon Box lol. Reminds me of Pokémon Bank but only for Gen 3. ggs on this list, KB! Well made and explained

Im not sure how to categories these but lately ive been collecting the not for resale demo cartridges that you would play at the gaming kiosks back in the day. So far i have gold, silver and crystal not for resales and now im working my way to ruby, sapphire and emerald not for resale copies. Id say theyre pretty rare because you dont find them all too often and we're not technically supposed to own them lol

0:03 exeggutors leaves and starmie's pose always surprise me bc they're different than the western release. Nidoking's model is different too iirc

🤩🤩🤩

Some of these are very obscure

Great video mate i have been in japan for the last two weeks and i made very big Pokémon purchases own of them is the original Pokemon Stadium!

lol ywses

Bodach’s games in St. Louis has both for 130 a piece maybe they’ll ship it to you

Great video! I had rented Pokemon snap from blockbuster, so if i knew then what i do now maybe your collection could be worth more!

Hey KB we are waiting for new streams hope u do them soon 😎

I just bought a NTSC pokemon box the other day to complete my collection (upgraded from an EU one). Go to loose sold on pricecharting, the most recent is me.

I recently completed my Pokémon game collection and I'm just glad I started before prices inflated because some of these prices have skyrocketed. Unfortunately I do now have a us version of Pokémon Box but I do have a sealed Japanese copy. Trying to locate a EU English or Australian copy so I can at least have an English copy since they're cheaper than ours but they don't seem to pop up a lot.

I dont know who told you pocket monsters stadium is rare but it isnt at all its like $8 on ebay or like $20-$30 for cib

I have White 2 complete

This isn't really a traditional game but those time-limited event cartridges for the DS are pretty rare and expensive nowadays.

What games did I leave out of this list? Let me know in the comments below!

Pearl is my favorite. Finished up my Pokemon DS/3DS collection this year it was rough

When are you gonna stream everytime youre not around Im checking :(

this is just sad and pathetic im not trying to be a jerk but at as an adult the gameplay loop of pokemon is just okay. it is a great game with great atmosphere dont get me wrong but i dont think i would ever spend 200 for the lackluster gameplay loop

I had all the games during my childhood. but due to various reasons I sold them or gave most of them away. Luckily I started buying most of the games before 2020. But there were a few I wish I had bought before hand, and have since gone really high. I still need Pearl and White 2. But my prized pieces in my collection are both copies of HGSS Mint CIB. I had Soul Silver from launch, was the only one I kept. But Heart Gold set me back $300+ dollars 3 years ago.

This is my goal for next year I want all these games ❤ inspiring ❤

Darn it, Peapod! Make a Zelda rpg gameplay she will def play it lol

I bought a Japanese copy of SoulSilver complete with box for around $75 US. It's very intersting to see that Japanese games have a much lower demand than English copies. The issue is, you may need to understand Japanese to fully experience these games and some games require a Japanese system.

Bro, it is rough outta here. In a world full of repos being passed off as the real deal. Just trying to find a loose copy of Emerald alone is a nightmare. Came across a FB Marketplace listing for £50/$65, cartridge shell was wrecked but bit the bullet, it passed verifying checks for OG copy of the game, it arrived, was dirty and battery needed replacing but straight up worked and allowed me to migrate Pokemon over to my childhood genuine copies of Diamond/Platinum/SS. Just be careful and make sure you can recognize a fake from a real copy. Got the game refurbished, cleaned up and new battery installed. Waiting on a replacement shell and sticker to arrive. Forgot how formidable these cartridge shells are to keep the motherboard in still mint shape.

Im sorry KB it seems i missed stream today again i was so busy i completely forgot pls forgive me il be on next one ok ❤

i just need original loose Red, Gen 2 and 3, case Heart Gold, Black, Black 2 and White 2 and ill be happy

Just bought a beautiful copy of Emerald for $200 at a local retro store. I never had it as a kid, never played it. Can’t wait to fire it up on my gba sp. I remember not that long ago a mint copy of this game was only $60-80. In this case what I paid was worth it to me but looking at the prices of all the games I want to collect and play, I can only grab a few of them 😢

But are we really adults when we spend hard earned money on these out dated games? Use your adult mind.. because I have played these games over and over as a kid, teen and adult now as an adult with kids.. it gets boring trust me, new games are better and it’s brain rot to go back and try to play a old pixelated game after playing what’s out now or maybe I’m just an adult adult 🤣🤷‍♂️ I can’t find the joy in these old games no more and I’m sure 10 years from now this will be everyone else so the prices are what they are it’s you being the fool thinking it’s worth it and what I’m ultimately saying is fck nostalgia 🤣💯👌👌

It’s a mix of 3 things. Nostalgia,new fans wanting to experience the old games the way you’re suppose to on the gb/gbc and there not being enough copies to go around. Yeah there’s millions of copies sold but kids probably didn’t take care of the carts and stopped working and now you have even more new fans and more coming in by the day there’s just not enough copies to go around and the prices will keep rising slowly sadly
