#8 - Pokémon Box (Gamecube)
I searched for this a lot before I ever got my hands on a copy. In fact, I think I had a saved search on eBay for Box for 4-5+ years! I originally started looking for it when it was still going for relatively cheap but couldn't find one in good condition for a good enough deal. Luckily, this copy came in to Disc Replay around the same time as Steel Battalion and Panzer Dragoon Saga (boy, that was an expensive period of time lol) so I finally got my hands on it. I still hate that I don't have the memory card or outer box but I won't complain. I remember when this was on sale through the old Pokemon Center website (along with the Pokemon Mini games) but I was in 7th grade with no money or reliable way to buy things off the Internet like I do now. I really take online shopping for granted now -- it used to take an act of Congress to get my mom or grandma to let me use their credit card online (although I sent many, many, many money orders for small eBay and forum purchases when I was a pre-teen). This is one of those games that I've been really tempted to sell when I needed some quick $$$ but I associate memories with it and I think it's a cool relic to have as a Pokemon fan. It's pretty cool to think that I've got Pokemon from the Ruby and Sapphire games on my 3DS -- that's one of the things that has really made Pokemon worth it for me long-term.
