I’m not even sure this is the correct sub for this… but hopefully someone can help me out. My daughter is very much into Pokemon, and basically is at a perfect age to be introduced to one of the greatest games of all time, red, blue, or yellow (she loves pikachu). I would love to give her a gameboy or if there’s a cheaper handheld way to play? The problem is, I don’t know if she will like it so I don’t want to spend $200 just for her to reject the game… any advice?
My other half has a copy of Pokémon blue, but she didn’t want me fucking with the save game so I went and bought a reproduction. Looks great, plays great too - only about $10.
If you don’t have original hardware, you’re a bit goosed unless you consider the backwards compatible Game Boy Advance.
You may be better off with ROMs and phone emulators instead.
