of course.... of all the games you could get on a Game Boy they had to pick a Pokemon one.... ![]() |
◊ 2016-11-07 17:33 |
Well, those were the games that came packaged with the later Pocket models (which these are) I believe. By the way, title should be "Victor, der Schutzengel" -- Last edit: 2016-11-07 17:34:32 |

They are both Game Boy Colors in Atomic Purple and Teal colors and the kids are using a link cable to trade Pokemon. I had Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow and played them on a Dandelion (yellow) Game Boy Color which brings back good childhood memories. ![]() |

The fun for playing with it and a lot of spare time to waste? |

oh yeah... another ?? thing for me.... ![]() another millenial thing i guess ? ![]() |

Yes, but I can't remember it from my childhood. Pokemon, however, was an important part of early 21st century Germany. |
◊ 2016-11-08 16:54 |
It seemed like a cheap ripoff of Pokemon at the time as it came (slightly) later here. I think it's possibly before Gamer's time whereas Pokemon stayed popular longer. Was the Midi sold in Germany? That's what it looks like but I can't find any under Opel or any German based ones under Bedford. |
◊ 2016-11-08 16:55 |
Yes, we did have the Midi here, instantly thought of this one when I saw your comment: /vehicle_156580-Isuzu-Midi.html |

Finished the third episode. Can someone fix the ratios of my pics? I'm pretty sure they're off. Suzuki Carry: ![]() unknown pickup: ![]() Honda Accord: ![]() |
-- ◊ 2016-11-09 12:37 |
@Gamer - wrong ratio for the pictures pending validation. |
◊ 2016-11-09 12:44 |
The name Bedford was never used in Germany. The two only origin Bedford, ever sold officially in Germany were labelled as Opel. /vehicle_955275-Bedford-Blitz.html /vehicle_903297-Bedford-Blitz-CF.html and this extreme rarity. Actually it's the one and only ever, I've seen. It's the same truck on my photo and in the calendar https://imageshack.com/i/pnNbZdpaj Link to "www.autowaesche-kalender.de" |

That's what I said...what would be the correct dimensions? |
-- ◊ 2016-11-09 12:58 |
Fixed them for you. Resized from 582x260 to 450x260. |
◊ 2016-11-09 13:01 |
I was going to fix them myself, but alright! The Barchetta still seems to be off... -- Last edit: 2016-11-09 13:17:52 |

The Midi was sold as an Isuzu here. I saw a couple of them badged as Isuzu during holidays in Italy (a Rascal and a Midi, to be precise). -- Last edit: 2016-11-09 13:12:59 |

Series complete. ![]() Citroen ZX in the foreground? ![]() Return of the Pokémon: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I can't really remember what the Pokémon craze was like in Germany, but for all I know, it was far more subtle than all that Frozen and Minions bull we have nowadays. Christmas time? Riiiight.... ![]() Anyone know which movie it is? 102 Dalmatians and Highlander: Endgame both opened in Germany on this day, but the poster doesn't match either of them... -- Last edit: 2016-11-16 12:40:09 |

That's because you didn't exist yet when Pokemon's worldwide popularity began to spread in late 1998 and early 1999 and reached its peaked in 2000 but then began to decline in 2001 when by then you were in your diapers. The Pokemon craze back then was definitely like the Frozen and Minions popularity of its time, so it definitely was not subtle at all. |
◊ 2017-04-06 21:21 |
What does me being in my diapers by then have to do with me not remembering it? ![]() (Yes it took me long enough to reply ![]() Okay, put differently, at least Pokémon didn't go as far as having weird and messed-up Chinese online games (I'm dead serious, this exists for both Frozen and Minions, though Pokémon did have its fair share of Gameboy bootlegs) And you had a variety of different characters (even though only about 150 at the time) so it didn't get boring that quickly. Yes, it may have been a craze, but surely it wasn't cancerous, was it? -- Last edit: 2017-04-06 21:27:04 |

internet in the late 90's wasn't as common as it is today, if Frozen & Minions had been launched in that period, there wouldn't be such games for them -- Last edit: 2017-04-06 21:31:15 |

I was the target demographic for Pokemon back then...it was really popular but I remember not being interested in it at all ![]() ![]() |

Hey, that's when I was born! I have a German MAD Magazine issue from July 2000 (bought at a flea market, naturally ![]() It was titled "PokéHuhn". |
◊ 2017-04-06 22:20 |
There were definitely plenty of terrible Chinese bootleg Pokemon games back then. |
