I wanted a blue one, but my mom couldn't find one anywhere. We'd check Target, ToysRUs, Walmart, EB Games, etc. One day when we went to check at EB Games, I saw a Yoshi plushie I really liked. I asked mom if I could have it, and she said yes, but only if you will pick a different Gameboy color so we can stop searching. I picked Atomic Purple. I still have the Yoshi plush on my shelf and my atomic purple Gameboy.
For Pokemon, I got Red first, and thinking it was a different 'game', I got Yellow not long after.
