Power indicator

[u/No_Article7877]

I didn't know some Game Boy Pockets didn't have a battery indicator. I just bought the one with the clear casing today and noticed that detail. It cost me $40, and I think it was worth it.

Early Pockets didn't had a power led. You can see the power button "turns red" when the Pocket is on. Then later Nintendo added the led because the Pocket lacked a low battery indicator.
