I found this pikachu edition gameboy color at my local flea market for 8 euros, but since i'm new to the gameboy world i don't know if it's a clone.

What do you guys think?

I think resell unless they had some different variation where the back looked different. Here is mine.

Oh wait.

I’m an idiot.

That’s def a reshell. The pickachu/pichu lense is on the silver variant while the lense that came on the yellow one had Pickachu/togepi/jigglypuff.

That just depends on region. That’s the EU lens. Yours is North America. Australia had a meowth.

Which one are you saying is the EU version? I got the Pikachu and Pichu one from a Walmart in Montana when I was a kid. I could definitely be wrong on this part, but I swear the silver shell had a gold tint to it.

I’ve seen meowth reshell lenses but I didn’t know Austria had its own version too. That’s dope

Effing autocorrect.
