    I traded and battled constantly with friends and kids from school. The school let us have Gameboys on the bus, so it was a routine bus activity. Everyone would rush to get trades done before the bus got to school, and there'd be anywhere from 1-5 cables linked across the isle... Kids would dare to yank the cable out, risking your save file, but they rarely did because they knew they'd be raged at by a lot of people.

    I had a couple friends and my cousin who had the 1st Gen games. Gen 2 was when a lot more people I knew got there GBC's so the trading scene at my school increased around that time.

    Quite a bit actually. I went to a friends house all the time and he and his brother owned a link cable. We used to trade pokemon and battle all the time. It was pretty fun. His parents would let him invite a few people over and we would have mini pokemon tournaments from time to time.

    I never traded/battled in the 1st gen, except one time I remember. I had Yellow and a friend had Red, so I traded him my Pikachu so he could evolve it and then trade it back. I immediately regretted it when I realised it didn't follow you around still.

    Trade? In ANY game? Please don't remind me...
    Apparently, the Kids Bop lyrics of "Thrift Shop" go like this:

    Walk into the club, like, "What up, I gotta big heart"

    We would trade and battle all the time with a few friends when we were all still just kids. A friend of mine owned a link cable back then which was super hard to get here at the time. I remember how jealous I was of him because of that lol. Ah, those were some good times.

    The link cables were highly unreliable, but I traded regardless to complete the Pokedex. Trying to battle was a nightmare.

    Cables were easy to get...

    I remember trading and battling with my brothers and some of my cousins. Mostly starters and version exclusives.

    Yeah I had a cable as a kid and I would always battle and trade with my cousins and friends on our copies of Blue/Red. Those were the days haha.

    I've never tried using connections with my Gameboy yet. All I do is to play casually without battling locally/trading.

    I battled my cousin once when he got a link cable but I lost becuz my pokemon were too weak lol. I never got a chance to have a rematch or to trade pokemon.

    I battled another person once or twice, but never traded with anybody. I think I won the times I did battle in the first gen.
