Pokemon Games for Game Boy Advance

Hi there,

My nephew has a Game Boy Advance and would like for his birthday (amongst a few other things!) some Pokemon Computer Games.

He has the Pokemon red and green and would like:

Pokemon Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire or Crystal.

Does anyone know where the cheapest place to buy these from?

Thanks In advance
I say what I like, I like what I say!

    I have had a look at various places I have in my favourites and the cheapest I could find for these games is http://gamejam.com/search1.cfm?Search_Term=pokemon

    I haven't used them personally though.

    http://www.play.com, possibly - by the way Emerald isnt out til end of this year - and I think crystal is a standard Gameboy game (ie. not only for Gameboy Advance)

    Try Amazon marketplace.

    Amazon sell new games, but also operate a Marketplace for sellers selling both new & used games at lower prices

    The condition has to be stated eg new, good, like new etc - and as long as you pay by credit card you're covered.

    Amazon also have a good complaints dept - to help should there be a problem.

    Best to buy these second-hand, our local Entertainment Base shops buy games from other kids double the price and sell them on. Maybe an ad in a local freebie paper will find local kids with these games to sell. My son bought one from a friends son splitting the difference between the shop buying and shop selling price.

    www.videogamesplus.com for Emerald - ask them to mark it down under £18 or as a toy - we did and didn't pay any customs fees.
    Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.
