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"
