I buy this copy for my cousin 's 13th birthday . I have play it as well , back as the old gbc game and for the new d . the fact that you can play in the Johto region and kanto region alone give you more play time that any of the pokemon rpg . it be great nostalgia value if you play the older version and it be great for the kid these day if they really want to tackle the now daunt task of complete the pokedex .
