Never mind. I was at some stores. Every store is selling lots of Pokeman gameboy games. Not only are they sold out on yellow version, but the other two are selling well because the yellow is gone.Some parents buy a version their kid has already in the confused desperation.

Where’s that thread, what do kids really need?
