The crimson on the right was my first DS after moving on from the GBA SP, never owned an original DS until recently. Kept the crimson until I upgraded to the 3DS and tucked the lite away. Just recently got a DSi and DSiXL but I will forever love the DS lite over all the other consoles.
Still missing a few (Red, Silver, LG, SP, and ZA) but almost done after a few years. Want to add some lights or something to shine on them, but I’m still coming up with ideas.
I grew up playing Sapphire, Emerald, and Fire Red, so I have a sweet spot as most people do for Gen3. I didn’t know it would be controversial for me to have a good lot of them, I was just excited to show the amount I’ve gathered throughout the years since childhood. Them being colored cartridges are what made me want to collect and hold on to them, I didn’t realize there was an unwritten rule to have 1 per person. As easy as it is to play them as Roms, I figured it was just the nature of the beast that is game collecting.
Regardless, I’m still on the hunt to catch them all 🙂
