Isn't it yellow? 🤔 I vaguely remember Vermillion Town in Pokemon being yellow when played on a GBC. I've always associated it with yellow because of that.

Ahaha I found my generation-ish of people. Fantastic. I always liked the way you guys generally speak; guess this is why.
Pokémon was awesome.
-
Which generation? Cause in the OG games (other than Yellow), every town was a shade of either red or blue (depending on which version you had). The only town that was the same color as its name was Lavender Town IIRC.
-
All of the towns for me were black and white...
I was still rocking a Gameboy Pocket.
-
Funny thing is that I used to be a bit envious of the kids who had a GameBoy Pocket in elementary school, despite owning a GBC myself. The Pocket was much thinner, used cheaper the AAA batteries, and had a much larger screen. The GBC had color, yes, but it was a downgrade in every other way.
-
The GBC was a new system with a whole host of new games that couldn't be played on the old one. Most notably Pokémon Gold and Silver. (And if you hadn't convinced your parents to invest in a power pack or at least rechargeable batteries then you were clearly unserious about Game Boy)
-
This is true. Probably should have clarified that I was speaking from the perspective of elementary school me. All your points are correct, but Gold and Silver didn't hit the scene until I was in Middle School/Junior High, which is a completely separate era of your life when you're young.

I never had red or blue; I had Yellow. My first gameboy was the Pikachu GBC that came with the game.

Yeah I always thought of vermilion as yellow too.
I thought that cinnabar was red.
-
Cinnabar is a red pigment. Quite toxic, so not really in use any more.
