know what.  i bought it anyway.  i know i'm stupid, but here's my story.  i put this thread up at the last minute, and i needed replies fast.  well, one thing led to another, and i had forgotten about it untill i was like, at the store.  oh well, i didn't buy pokemon because, well, just because.  i'll kill myself if there's a price drop for the SP, but  i thought it'd be too soon.  nintendo's not gonna release a new gameboy,  so i figured i'd be safe. thanks for your input anyway, i'll take it into consieration "next time"
