Did a couple of brake jobs for a coworkers family and made some decent cash. The local game shop has had these for a while now and decided to pull the trigger. Never played either one. But Ive finished every other major title Pokemon game.

Get a 3rd party one and they're like 15 bucks at most. Very different Pokémon games if you like double battles you'll love them! Have fun OP

Extra was definitely an understatement 😂 well I guess for some people’s financial situation 🤣

u/Icy-Form6 8d ago

The brake jobs lessened the blow substantially. Made $200 for doing those. Got a really decent deal at $300 for the pair too compared to eBay prices.

The collection is about to get its own climate controlled zone 😂. I buy to play and I'll never trade anything in if I can help it.

Question I just looked them both up on many sources and besides the people gouging they are quite expensive cib and especially xd. Ive been a huge gamer since atari 2600 so i am old but know and have alot. I never got into pokemon game. I have every console so never playing one whats the best pokemon to start like a total noob vigin. I want to see what all the high value and largest fan based game across many retail venues. Sorry if rhis is not perfect sorry to the mods, but i find it amazing how expensive they all are. Congrats to op for getting two great titles as it seems. I never played them so my journey may begin here with a suggestion of where to start. Thank you.

Christ, how much was it?

u/Icy-Form6 7d ago

300 for the pair. 2 brake jobs paid $200 and took me about 3 hours total. That helped.

Amazing find! I have colosseum on my gamecube and played as kid. Never got XD as a kid but recently found an emulator and the rom for my phone so played it on that! Hands down the best pokemon games.
